this one looks pretty straight forward folks-
so you can't clean and jerk 95/135... this is not the WOD for you. scaling in the open WOD classes is not allowed. stick with your regular programming, get big and strong, and look forward to 14.4 being a fucking joke.
pace yourself... seriously. while breathing-wise you may be fine. local muscular fatigue, especially in the grip and core are going to be a huge factor. you never want to fail on a rep, so make sure you are taking adequate rest in the beginning to stay on top of it and push in the end.
push jerk from rep one. take a look at the video of graham and speal- if you can adopt the quick shoulder to overhead technique, do- otherwise just don't waste time in that position. kip your toes to bar- remember, it's the same as the swing for the kipping pull up.
did i mention yet how much this will suck for your grip? don't let that guy fail on you.
we cannot drop weight. period. you can tell your grandchildren someday that you would have scored at least 7 reps higher on 13.4 if you could have dropped, just don't get so crazy that you can't lower the bar under control.
95/135 may feel light on the first few sets, but it's going to get heavy. make sure you are getting down into a proper clean starting position (as opposed to a dead lift position) so you are not unnecessarily taxing your lower back.
check in with tips and lessons learned. and HAVE FUN!
