Jack in Drag

Tonight was a twist on Jackie. There's always a way to make existing workouts just a little harder.

• 1000m Row Uphill
• 50 Clean -> Thruster (clusters?)
• 30 Pullups (Deadhang)

10:48



The uphill row was achieved by putting a 4" bumper plate under the front of the erg to lift it up. After 500m, part of the workout was to switch the weight from the front to elevate the rear, then continue on with the 2nd 500m. That transition took me about 25 seconds.

Adding a clean into the usual thruster movement was just enough to throw off the quick cycle rate that can be achieved if it was just a normal squat thrust. This was a fun one.

Tuesday 6pm

Jackie:

• 1000m row
• 50 thrusters (45# bar)
• 30 pull-ups

9 minutes and change. I don't recall the exact time. Still, a poor performance on my part.
One thing that was pointed out to me is that my rowing technique is about as useful as a football bat. I suppose I just need to practice practice practice. Right now apparently I'm doing all the pulling with my arms and legs separately. I need to find a rower to fix me. With a couple tweaks to my Jackie strategy, I think I could pull my time down to the mid 7 minute range. New goal.
