Snatch Grip DLs and strapping in are both feeling a lot better. Still awkward, but a lot less so than a few weeks ago. Even barbell rows didn't totally suck today. They still sucked, though. As Rip said: "Fuck barbell rows. Really. Fuck them."
Snatch Grip DL
405x3 @ 6.5
415x3 @ 6.5
Notes: These still feel a lot harder than they are/than they look once I see the video and bar speed. Felt like 8, but bar speed is fast, especially after the straps 'catch' during the first rep of the set. I'm keeping volume low for now as I continue to add weight every week.
Clean Pull
275x2, 295x2, 315x2, 335x2, 345x2x2
Notes: Didn't feel very explosive today, slower off the floor than I'd have liked. But it still feels good to do *something* somewhat explosive. I want to clean again.
Barbell Row
225x5, 245x5, 255x6
Notes: Still fiddling around with different degrees of knee flexion and the bar placement. I still don't like any of them. But I disliked my 255x6 final set here slightly less than usual, and it was one in which I returned to very close to the standard deadlift set-up with knees bent more than recommended in SS. These just feel awkward to me no matter what I do.
