Presses were much more difficult than they should have been. I went in, thinking I would hit 8-10 at 165, but it just wasn't happening today.


Power Clean

Easy, but was rushed. Up to 195-205 next week.

I should've lowered the bar under control. Dropping heavy deadlifts is a bad habit from my CF days. Oh well! Still happy about the lift. This is a 90# PR from about 14 months ago; 30# PR from about 3 months ago.

squat
255x5*
295x5*
336x10*
255x10 (FSL)

Set of ten for the 5+ set was hell. I just stood there until I was done. I think there are five good reps somewhere in the set: http://youtu.be/PG12V3zM3Zo

Good job sticking out that set of 10. That had to be hellish. Awesome job, honey! Uh, I mean, *cough cough* that's f'ing awesome.

Bench

175x5*
203x5*
230x5
230x8*

During my first set at 230, after the 5th rep, I inhaled chalk dust (or something) and began sputtering and gagging. Fortunately, racked the weight before finsihing hacking up a lung or two. I was sure I had a set of 10 in me, but went back and hit a set of 8. I am wondering if on the presses I need to up the volume during my 5's week (maybe two sets at 5+).... I know... I know... stick with the program....but ... Volume!

Power Cleans
Worked up to 205x3x5* Easy. I don't think I have ever taken a linear increase in the PC beyond 210, so looking hopefully for some new progress on these in the coming weeks.
