75% 1x2

110
115
125
130
140
Felt much better than last week

B. Establish a tough Clean + 2 Jerk  (at or above 145#)
Got 145# on second attempt, Clean felt awesome today, , Jerk felt off in terms of split and foot work, lumbar a bit extended and back leg straight, and I had a press out!
I think that doing the Jerk Support today impacted the C&J. As Becca G said if doing it before it may tire you too much to C&J after.  

Added some conditioning in the morning:
10 min AMRAP
48 Double Unders
4 alternnating Turkish Getups (40#)

The turkish getups may have also effected by Jerks in the PM, opps!
then played around with some gymnastics
