    I normally put breathing squats last, as any exercise that follows them resembles the Wreck of the Hesperus. But today is a public holiday.The gym is only open for an hour and a half first thing, so with everyone coming at that time, it was going to be standing room only, so i set up and did the dirty deed first up.

    Breathing Squat (60 k) 4. + 20 Rader pulls.
    (80 k) 4. + 20 Rader pulls.
    (107 k) 20. + 44 Rader pulls.

    Power snatch. stick 2.2.(20 k) 3. (25) 3. (27.5) 3. (30) 3. (32.5) 3. (35) 2.

    Clean and Presses. (30 k) 3. (37.5) 3. (42.5) (2+F). ---- understandable.

    SLHR (10 k) 13. (12 k) 12.

    Quote: " pretty much no better than last time". I say its better than regressing.
    Just this week I looked at my like log book and saw that I'm lifting just about the same weight as I did
    a year ago. For a few minutes I thought to myself, boy what a lot of time I wasted. Then I realized how much weaker I would have gotten if I didn't lift. Not gonna quit!
