Finally a day when everything went well. I've been having X or Y go well, but it's been a while since everything (mostly) clicked on the same day.
Squat
Warm-ups to 470x2x3 (3 doubles)
Notes: The first set was THE best set of squats I've done since my last meet, no doubt about it. No knee slide, vertical bar path, they practically popped. Felt as if I could have done that set with 495. Of course I set up my phone to video, hit the button...and forgot to switch the mode to video from camera. So have a nice shot of the empty rack on what was the best set I've done in at least 5 months. Fack. The next two sets weren't perfect but were still fine. Last rep of the bunch was hard.
Press
Warm-ups to 217x5, 235x1x2
Notes: Fifth rep at 217 was hard, but better than 5th rep at 215 last week. First rep at 235 was slow as fuck. 2nd rep popped. This is the second week in a row I've had problems with the first heavy single after the 5RM. Last week I failed altogether, and this week almost did. Maybe need to rest more between the two.
Power Cleans
135x3, 1603, 185x3, 205x3, 225x3, 240x3x2
Notes: Finally a not-terrible day with these. I wouldn't go so far as to say they were good - if they were, I'd be doing 275 or so for triples across - but they were better than they've been since the back injury. Started splitting a bit at 240, but not much. I hit my jumping position better, stayed out over the bar better. Need to work on stomping, I land with my feet in weird positions sometimes. It would be nice to have wood or solid rubber mats under my feet, but I can do much better than this even with what I've got.
Torchin the Tris
Standing OH Tri Extensions with EZ-Curl Bar + 60lbs x 12, 13
Felt good today overall.
