Thursday April 5th

Today was an awesome day.

"The Other Total"

1 Rep Max:

Clean 

Floor Press

OHS

Best lifts: 250 PR, 235 (tied PR), 175 (PR)

Today was one of my most successful days of pure weightlifting in a long while.

I had numbers in mind, I had a good plan, and I warmed up really well to get there.

I'll go through this quick because the videos can speak for themselves on the final lifts.

For cleans I went with:

135 x5, 165x3, 195x2, 215x1, 235x1, 250x1, 260 (fail, oh well)

My previous best was 245 a while back, so I jumped right from 90% up to the 102% to try for the PR.. Landed a little wide for my liking, but the hip drive was super solid and my pull off the ground showed good patience to wait for the arms to pull (as I yell at a lot of FCFer's for)..

For Bench Press (floor press) I sort of rushed through this because I have not done these in a long while so I had no idea where I would top out at.. I just went up the ladder quickly until I hit a stall point and didn't the push the envelope once I got there..

I did 135x6, 165x5, 185x3, 205, 215, 225, 235 (fail), 235

Louis helped me a little bit on the rep I failed, so I don't count that one, but I did hit it with success a minute later cuz I knew I had it. Nothing special here, just normal mantown bench pressing awesomeness.

I have not overhead squatted in a while.. Definitely not for a max. I had done 140x5 and a 155x1 this year, but I have not done anything with consistency on these.. So today was a super pleasant surprise.

I went with 95x5, 115x3, 135, 150, 160, 175 .. 

Puerto Rico'd this motherfucker twice today.. Super fucking amped.. And many other exclamatory curse words in a positive light.. Shoulder mobility has helped a lot as has working on the barebones basics of my air squat.. I stumbled a tiny bit standing this up, but never lost control. Very happy. BOOM.
