Squat
Warm-ups to 385x5x3
Notes: Hip felt ok, which is good. It bothers me some when I do certain things, but squatting has been ok so far during the re-load. Knees were ok too. Didn't feel great about these squats, but they were OK and got done. There was literally a circus of things happening all around me at the fucking globo, and as hard as I tried to focus on my spot on the floor, I couldn't help but see some of it in my peripheral vision via the mirror. I could hear and feel some of it too:
1. Two russian ladies, one quite heavy newbie being "coached" by a skinny-fat friend who knew nothing, first on the squat right next to me (1/8 squats with empty bar and pussy pad) and then the leg extension 5 ft right behind me.
2. A dude in jeans deadlifting superset with "box" jumps onto the windowsill ledge in the tiny space between me and the russian ladies, so like 3 feet behind me. Onto the windowsill ledge!?!?
3. A guy in the next rack over (~18-24 inches between the ends of our bars) doing deadlifts seemingly whenever I started a set.
Whine, bitch, and moan. I'm a baby. I did the sets and reps, but it was hard not to get distracted by all this happening literally at once right around me as I squatted.
Press
Warm-ups to 187.5x5x3
Notes: Went more conservatively after Monday's work was harder than anticipated, and figured I'd still be a little fatigued from Wednesday's bench. Good move. These felt just right.
Deadlift
Took the Kong's advice and decided if I didn't drag the fucker up, it wouldn't could in my log. So I dragged like a mofo.
Power Clean Warm-Ups
135x3, 165x3, 185x2, 205x1, 225x1 - all good
Deadlift
295x2, 385x1, 455x5
Notes: All dragged. Felt good, tight, fast. Pull seems to be returning. I'll switch to 10lb jumps next week, for 465 and 475.
