    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
    Squat 410x5x4

    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.

    Thursday 9/5/19
    Bench 315, 325, 340
    Clean and press up to 215
    Press 230x4


    Things I tried this training block that I find were unproductive:
    -no microloading
    -started at 3RMs
    I will restart next week:

    MON
    Press 227.5x5
    Bench 255x5x5

    TUE
    Pin Press at forehead 235x5
    Squat 395x5x5
    Clean 185x3x5

    THUR
    Bench 300x5
    Press 180x5x5

    FRI
    Squat 480x5
    Clean/Press Singles
    DL 545x5

    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
    Bench 255x5x5

    Missed on the press set of 5, but cleaning 227.5 is the most I've done. I'm improving.

    Tuesday 9/10/19
    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.
