Music — Whatever my son had playing.
Notes — During 10 days of visiting friends and family on a cross-country trip, I was able to squeeze in a quick workout session with my son in his garage. This was a non-standard workout, as he is limited to 165lbs, including the barbell. But it was good, as we were able to fix his setup for his bench press, which was not safe.
- OP - Poor programming choice on my part. I put +5lbs over my 1x5 Intensity session on Sunday (10/17) and expected to do 3x3, when I should have gone 130-135lbs based on my 10/8 Volume session. Of course, that's where I ended up.
- PC - A slower session, as we were doing a lot of BS'ing between sets. This was when I realized the intelligence in wearing long socks, as he has a cheaper bar with knurling that extends quite far towards the middle. So the blood slashes on the shins were entertaining to work with.
- PS - Since this was a lighter workout (due to the weight limitations), I decided to give Snatches a try. They were fun, although I definitely need to get some coaching on them. The one thing that I noticed throughout was that I would initiate an arm pull as I accelerated the bar above the knee. I suspect that I wasn't rotating my elbows out sufficiently, but that's something that a coach would pick up on right away.
