Did some various light pulling today. With power cleans and snatches on the sideline for now, along with squats, Tuesdays and Fridays will be a lovely potpourri of pulling variations, along with sled work. Did eccentric emphasis TKEs between sets (both legs) and a couple sets of eccentric step-downs after the sled.
Snatch Grip DL
135x3, 185x3, 235x3, 275x3, 315x3, 335x3, 345x3x2
Notes: Easier than last week's 315s. Hardest part is the grip. Hooked for some of the reps at 335 and 345.
Clean Pull
245x2, 265x2, 285x2, 305x2x2
Notes: Easy. Good to have this feeling easy again. Now to have 375+ feeling easy, like it did in May.
Barbell Row
185x5, 205x5, 225x5, 235x5, 245x5
Notes: These still feel awkward to me. I used a few different shin-angles. Still don't feel like I've found the sweet spot.

Sled Push
Done with a partner: Person A goes both ways, Person B goes both ways, rest 1:20, Person A goes etc... We were able to keep a 2 minute per round pace the entire time. Used 70 lbs, high handles down, low handles back. The guy I did it with is 8 years younger than me, has clean and jerked something like 180kg, and is also an acro-yoga superstar. My out-of-shape, gimp kneed, injuries everywhere, old self managed to keep up. Somehow.
