Progress!

I did a couple of the teeny-tiniest ring dips today. Well, I don't know maybe 1/4 ROM. So stoked.
Also working on HSPU at home.
Cleaned 100# last workout for ME. That's half the battle for clean and jerk 100#. I'm making progress!

Q: could I sub a 20 pound db for medecine ball cleans by picking up one bell-end in each hand - simulating picking up a ball?

Hey Laura,
I train over at Crossfit Boston. We've done the 20# dynamax ball cleans several times, and they don't strike me as particularly worthwhile. They're just not hard enough. On the other hand, cleaning w/ 20# DBs will wake you up in a hurry. If you want to do those as a sub, I imagine it would be just fine.
For some real fun, try a burpee-clean-thruster combo. Neal Thompson, out esteemed leader, made this one up. Hold your DBs, plant them on the floor, do a burpee sans jump. As you're coming up from the burpee, go to triple extension, and squat clean the DBs. Then, it's up to the thruster. Wicked deadly. Have fun!

Hi, Jonathan!

I did a workout with those dumbell- burpee-squat-clean-thrusters a couple weeks ago 21-18-...3 with pullups.

Killer. Took me 40 something minutes.

Thanks for the tip!
