3x3 120 lbs
The clean grip feels better, will start increasing weight

You need a more positive training log name. Best of luck.

Thanks Meshuggah, when I get back to a 1×BW OHP I'll come up with a more manly name

Trap bar dead, low handle grip:
1x5 265 lbs
I triggered the vibration alarm on my cellar window dropping the weight on the next to last rep, throwing my concentration off for a few secs.

Standing OHP:
1x4 115 lbs

Did a couple of sets of barbell squats with no weight to work my knee ROM and for general flexibility. Getting down close to parallel. I think I'll do these every day for warmups.

Clean grip high pulls from floor:
3x3 125lbs

Squats 3x5 95lbs

That's not a typo, 95lbs. Just broke in my new $47 Nordic Lifting knee supports I bought off Amazon . They're worth more than my knees. Without them my knees would be on fire.

I think I'm going to spring for a new bar. The 2 I inherited are over 50 years old, bent and worn out.
