Streetparking WOD from June 6, 2018…

EMOM for 20 minutes

  • Even Minute – 5 x Lateral Burpees over the Bar + 5 x Hang Clean and Jerk
  • Odd Minute – 4 x Bar Facing Burpees + 4  Thrusters

Results: For the bench press 135-155-170-185-200-205-215-220-165lbs. 220lb is a new 1RM for Bench Press.  For the metcon chose my weight poorly (95lbs/43kg), so recommend going a bit lighter.  Stopped in the 15th minute because I could only get through the burpees.
