    Been over a year since updating this. Work has been busy so this log fell off a bit.

    In the last year I've continued TM and got 500 lb squat back in the spring. Was asked to lose some weight for my wedding in May so took about 6 weeks of doing less volume and adding HIIT and then had a 2 weeks honeymoon where I did nothing. It has been a slow grind getting back up to my past numbers but here is the last few workouts. I started back up with Cleans up to 185 x 3 x 3 but they really just aggrevate my shoulder/elbow so I just decided this week to switch it with 55% SGDL.
