5 Rounds For Max Reps:
2 Minutes Max Clean and Jerk
1 Minute Rest
For Rx use 55% max C&J
For fun calculate the Total Work done on the barbell in foot-pounds.
Distance Barbell Travled Upward Each Rep in Ft x Weight in lbs. x Total Reps = Total Work
Next calculate Power Output on the barbell during work intervals in horsepower or watts.
(Total Work/10min)/(33,000)=Power Output in Horse Power
or
(Total Work/10min)/(44.25)=Power Output in Watts
Example:
Athlete did a total of 75 reps at 135 pounds and the bar travled 6 feet up each rep
Total Work = 6 ft x 135 lbs x 80 Reps = 64,800 ft*lbs
(60,750 ft*lbs/10 Min)/33,000 = .196 Horse Power – About 1/5th of a Horse Power
or
(60,750 ft*lbs/10 Min)/44.25 = 137 Watts
*These numbers represent only the work done on the barbell, actual work and horse power are higher due to movement of the body during exercise.
The evening class doing Push Jerks during the WOD from last Friday. Nice Job handling the 95# bars fellas. Fran will be here any day.
