really enjoyed the intensity of this session!

warmup was enjoyable, quads were very present after the squats and we did 1-6-1 (back down to 1) on the pushup ladder to add a bit.

the clean ladders were torturouns waiting in the rack hold (there were 3 of us) but we all got through it.

i found the man-makers perfectly suited to the 30/30 interval, being able to smash out 3 in exactly 30s @ 16kg felt great.

likewise i pumped out 15 x 2 hand cleans in each 30s work block.

once we came up from the last ladder and assessed the time (40mins to that point) we thought a 1-6 each hand snatch ladder would be fun and boy did it cause some grief!! haha the hands got punished and overhead hold while waiting became excruciating!

chalk was a big help and i am a big fan of the half jacobs runs for intensity without losing legs or lungs.
