Tuesday May 8th

Strength work today.. so awesome..

Power clean for 5x3 and Floor press for another 5x3, alternating back and forth..

I had ideas in mind of where I wanted to end up so I sort of gamed my first 4 sets of each around where I wanted to end up..

Side note: Before this I warmed up and was sweating everywhere because I was wearing a thermal and sweatpants so I felt really loose today, which was great.. But we were fuckin around doing our typical dick-swinging contest trying to get the Keg overhead (I think its about 110-120 lbs).. most I have ever done is 100.. and it was so god damn frustrating when I could not get it there.. UGH..


Anyhow, so I was really fired up after the keg incident and wanted to get after heavy weights..

Power cleans - 165, 175, 190, 205, 215 PR for a 3RM..

This felt great to do.. Nice PR on these.. I did 2 of them touch and go and the 3rd with a little regrippage.. No real break though.. I land a little bit too wide for my liking when it gets heavy.. But this is not the worst mistake in the world, my form on the hip extension and the recovery with the elbows is really solid, so my landing is just something to work on with perfecting the lift..

Floor press - 155, 175, 195, 215, 225(fail)

I got one clean rep on the 225 and ran out of steam.. triceps were too tired..

Really fun day though..
