Trainer: Me
Time: 11am

I coached the class before and did the Chief during Open Gym. The class also had tempo back squats as a strength component, but I had to skip that as I was short on time.

The Chief went well. I am all for things that are short and fast. I almost got 4 sets the first round, but managed to do at least three set the rest of the time. Although the last one was close. The cleans did a number on my legs as the squats later were painful which is funny since there was only nine of them. Also as expected, I cranked through the first set of every round, then noticeably faded after that. Eh, my gas tank was always bad, but at least my recovery is good.

I did the Chief last December and I did more total reps this time at Rx instead of 75# or 95# (not clear what I did). Crazy. Even though it was a year ago, I am not sure why I was doing that little for cleans, but maybe I was feeling off that day.
