Friday 8/23/19
Squat 530x1x3
Hang Cleans, Slow Cleans off the floor up to 185
Pulled a few good 185s that felt almost weightless, must have been hitting the jump pretty good. I'll just keep practicing.

Squat 530x1x3
Hang Cleans, Slow Cleans off the floor up to 185
Pulled a few good 185s that felt almost weightless, must have been hitting the jump pretty good. I'll just keep practicing.
Monday 8/26/19
Press 225, 235, 245, 255x0,0, 245, 225x5
Bench 270x5x3, Amrap 250x8
Form on press might be a bit messy, evidenced by having trouble on singles but not struggling with a new 5RM. Probably a bar path thing, I bet it's getting out in front of me.
225x5 Presses from today. Wish I taped a few of the singles:

Tuesday 8/27/19
Clean and Press 185, 190, 195x1x3, 185, 190

Cleans felt great, so did the pressing. The Press feels super cool coming out of the clean.
Thursday 8/29/19
Bench 335, 365(PR), 335
Pin Press @chin 235x3
Cleans up to 205
Felt good on bench today and snagged a 15lb PR!
Bench:
YouTube
Watching the bench at half-speed, I can see that I shifted out of position halfway up, the bar drifted forward, and I started to grind.
Guess I gotta work on staying tight on the bench. Maybe this 1RM was harder than it needed to be.

Press 235, 240, 250, 255x0,0
Bench 275x5x3, 225x12

I'll be cleaning all my press weights, for practice and to get more clean volume in.
During the first few weeks, I may take a few 5lb jumps on bench/press, and a few 10lb jumps on squat/DL. We'll see.
Friday 9/6/19
Squat 565x1 (20lb PR)
A ton of Hang Cleans
Grabbed a 1RM squat to finish before going to 5RMs next week.
Did a ton of Hang cleans to solidify the jump part of a clean, and work on getting rid of arm pull.

Monday 9/9/19
Clean, Press 227.5x4

Clean 185x3x5
Press 227.5x5
Squat 395x5x3
Going to just start LP'ing these cleans Tu/Fr.
Went back and grabbed my 227.5x5 press that I missed yesterday, instead of pin press.
Ran out of time on squats.
