Jerk, Burpees

For Time:
185 pound barbell, Shoulder to overhead, 20 reps
40 Burpees
Partition as needed, any order.

Last time on May 20:
Time7:58
Not happy. My plan was to do shoulder to overhead and then double the reps in burpees with blasting the last few burpees. I was on schedule to finish in about 6:45. But the bar slipped out after the 15 rep of shoulder to overhead(I was doing 3 then 6) Luckily Ron was there to put the weight back on the rack but I had to do all the remaining burpees to keep under time. When I got to the bar I was gassed and did not lock out on my left arm. the bar just hung suspended for a while and then I dropped it. We had to lift it back up on the rack and I still had five reps left and I did not make my time. Next time I will not use the handles of the safety bars to rack on but I will use actual mounts. I plan on doing this one again!

This time:
Well I could not wait and I did it today right after we got of the bus from the all day track meet. I was afraid I would be out of gas from my nerves and the sun. But I had enough gas to get my goal which was under 7 minutes. I obviously used proper mounts to rack the weight on. I nearly lost it one time but was able to keep it off the ground. Now I feel better about this workout. I broke it up this way:

8 burpees - 4 jerks = :55
8 burpees - 4 jerks = 1:16, 2:11
6 burpees - 3 jerks = 1:07, 3:18
6 burpees - 3 jerks = 1:12, 4:31
6 burpees - 3 jerks = 1:12, 5:44
6 burpees - 3 jerks = :58, Total time=6:42
