Weds/Thurs

Wendler Weds:
Squat 9x250
Bench 10x175

Thurs:

Warmup:
400m run

then 7 min AMRAP
3 burpee into power clean landing position + clap overhead
4 samson stretch lunges
5 hollow body rocks

12 min OTM
2 power cleans 165# - timing/form is gross, need to go back to drilling very light weight barbell work

Partner WOD:
10 min AMRAP
10 dumbbell snatches 70#
30 air squats
One partner completes complete round while other rests. Score is individual rounds completed

4 rounds + 5 snatches - surprisingly snatches were pretty easy, air squats were definitely the harder movement, which was the consensus among almost everyone else. Wish we had done atleast 75#, maybe 80#.

Went to a yoga class afterwards with a few people from the gym. Initially thought it would be a terrible idea to try to do a 75 min yoga class 45 mins after working out. Turned out to be a really good complement/contrast to throwing weights around with Katy Perry blasting on pandora. As always the yoga was challenging but definitely something I and the other people from the gym plan on continuing for the immediate future. I wrote a lengthier post on my first yoga experience a year or two ago somewhere on here. Don't remember exactly what I wrote but I basically feel the same way about it. Great workout that is both mentally and physically challenging while basically being universally scalable to individual strengths/experience levels. Sounds familiar right?
