    Warm up: done
    Gwen: 95#
    Hbbs: 145# plus chains
    Rows: done, dont remember times, fast enough to make me wheezy πŸ™
    Pistols: low back hurt so skipped them, I’ll do them later this week.

    Gwen is my kind of wod- no
    Clock to worry about, plenty of time to rest between sets and space out, drink water and chit chat and only one task at hand- keep hands on bar while doing C&Js. Very relaxing πŸ™‚

    Warm-up: done
    Grace: FAIL at 145# – got through the set of 15, right hand slipped off the bar on the 12th clean of the second set, didn’t have time to repeat the set of 12 (and didn’t really want to) so I did the set of 9 and called it a day. Definitely want another shot at this
    HB Box Squat: up to 265# + 1 set of chains
    Rows: 49, 49.1, 49.3, 49.7, 50.1
    Pistols: done

    Gwen @ 135. Should have gone a bit heavier 145ish,
    Skipped HBBS quad was a bit tweaked
    Rows: 45.9/ 45.6/ 46.2/ 47.1/ 50.1 – lost alot of gas after 3 sets.
    Pistols- done.

      this is a good benchmark WOD for you to build some mental toughness. This should be a workout you do once a month.

    I was curious so I looked it up. Sarah hopping’s one rep max for clean and jerk is 235 . She did 145 for Gwen which is about 62% of her one rep max.

      Oh and her Grace time is under 2 min
