Two training days in one post today.
Yesterday I visited Iron Sport Gym in Glenolden, PA to receive some coaching on the power clean. That is a great training atmosphere - great people and equipment. Steve Pulcinella had me do a whole bunch of power cleans, mostly in sets of doubles, up to 100kg, with lots of feedback. I learned a bunch of things - I bend my arms too much, pull way too high, and need to learn the "landing" better. I didn't record the exact weights, so I'll note this as an S-ton of powercleans.
This afternoon I went to the gym at work for a press workout. It was a great session. BW251.0
Press: 95x5, 135x3, 155x2, 170x1, 180x3,3,3,2,2 & 145x8,8,8
Dips: 12,10,10,7 (an improvemnent of 1 total rep over last month's similar session)
Bent over rear deltoid raise, 25lbs each hand - 12,10,12,10
Roman Chair Situps: 10,10,10
I thought of a great invention for gyms today. What if the mirrors on the wall were curved ever so slightly? Not as much as a fun-house mirror, but enough to give the appearance of 22" arms. It could make all the bros feel better about themselves due to the bigger muscles they observe. I'm off to my company's patent office to see if they have interest.
