Jerk 5-5-3-3-1-1-1

75-95-115-135-155-175

10 minute AMRAP
15x power KB swing 44#
12x DB push press 35#
9x ring dip

3+28

The jerk was going well this morning, but as usual time was short and I did not finish the prescribed amount of reps even though I was rushing a bit. I probably should have started at a heavier weight as I felt I could lift a lot more than 175# for one rep. As it was, 175# is still my PR.

The dips were the critical path for the AMRAP as I cannot do nine reps unbroken even when relatively rested. By the second and third go-around, I was doing them two at a time. I probably could have used a heavier KB; I was unsure how hard “powering” a heavy KB would be. I could have done heavier DBs, too, since after the first round I was breaking them up into 6×2 sets anyway.
