"Uneven Grace"
For time:
30 Unevenly weighted Clean and Jerks (136#/87#)
Here's the deal, load up the bar evenly to the prescribed weight (or weight you plan to use). Do a clean and jerk, bring the bar back to the ground without taking your hands off the bar, then have someone mark tape on both sides of of each hand. During the workout, you can only attempt reps with your hands within the taped area.
Once the above is completed, unload the even weight and replace it unevenly. For guys, this means a yellow bumper, 5 pound plate, and 2.5 pound plate on one side and a blue bumper, 5 pound plate, and 2.5 pound plate on the other side. For the gals, there will be a green bumper on each side of the bar with two (2) five pound plates added to one side only. If you are not going prescribed, load the bar unevenly by 10 pounds.
You can not attempt an uneven clean and jerk at any weight until the workout actually begins.

The breakfast scramble has been set. The food has been ordered and will be delivered right before the 6AM class this Friday. The cost will be $5 a head, all of which will go to Rita to help pay for the food. Everyone is invited. Different types of egg scrambles, fruit trays, and coffee will be available to the AM classes.

The weather is supposed to take a turn for the worse. Omaha is expecting freezing rain which means icy roads. Keep checking back here for any updates concerning the morning classes. I will try and make a decision as early as possible but it may be as late as 4AM. Sorry for any inconvenience.
Nice work 5a.
Nice work, everyone, and way to SMOKE this one, Paul Antoniak!
I finshed my 30th rep just after time was called (lets call it 10:02). 121# (Yellow and Blue). My mix wasn't close to 50/50 (19 with blue on right, 11 with blue on left).
Paul Antoniak you're my hero - all hail the Herculoids! (google it, wikipedia it or youtube it.)
Paul Antoniak! GRRRRRRR!
Deeeeefinately felt weird the first few, had to mentally get used to pushing with arm that had the extra lbs... but I guess I liked it. Something different :) is always good!!
Great job today 4:30! Way to get 'er done!
ran 4 miles before class today as well... so I think today was pretty great balance of running and cf.
Anyone else training for lincoln half or full marathon in may?
For today, as rx'd 8:15. I'm definitely lopsided in shoulder strength.
Like others...I definitely had a weak side. I only did one and switch back to other side.
Awesome job 6:30!!!
Looking forward to a very needed rest day tomorrow because of yesterdays brutal WOD!!!
