I <3 the C&J

The WOD:

With a continuously running clock do one 135 pound Clean and Jerk the first minute, two 135 pound Clean and Jerks the second minute, three 135 pound Clean and Jerks the third minute... continuing as long as you are able.

Use as many sets each minute as needed.

I completed 3 full minutes plus 2 reps in the 4th minute... for a total of 8 reps in 4 minutes. While this is a really poor showing, this is after only 13 or 14 hours of recovery (and zero sleep) since I did Cindy yesterday. I work a night shift, so that's why the no sleep thing.... and I jumped into this one partly because I was excited about it and partly to get myself on an after-work exercise routine.

Surprisingly, it was the jerks and not the cleans that got me. Normally I can jerk up 135 all day long, but I'm just fatigued from previous workouts I suppose. Cleans felt strong... Felt comfortable doing multiple full squat cleans of a weight that is nearly 80% of my 1RM hang power clean. And historically I can power clean more weight than I can squat clean. A 200# C&J seems within reach at this point.
