just practicing double unders. I did 27,22,20 as my best consecutive rounds today. I'm going to end every workout from now on with these. 15 straight before I stop. When I get that easily I'll increase to 20,25,30 etc.

here's the second part of tonights workout

the bear complex. We just did 5 reps for the first 4 rounds and I did the 7 on the last. Here's a video from round 2. Although my clean is light weight, I think it's much smoother than it has been in the past. The weight was only 95 but to get through this whole workout I had to keep it relatively light. Let me know if you guys have any tips.

If you thought that video was shaky lol

make sure you lock those arms out on the bottom. youre making it more of a bicep workout by pulling before you get down.

Yea I noticed that. Glad I filmed it and realized it. Thanks

Your burpee stance seems too wide to me when your getting up. Other than that good work.
