:::Workout 2/16/12:::

Barbell Squat
45 lb x 2 x 5
85 lb x 1 x 5
135 lb x 1 x 3
175 lb x 1 x 2
220 lb x 3 x 5

These felt really good. Hope to get a video for a form check soon.

Standing Barbell Shoulder Press:
45 lb x 2 x 5
75 lb x 1 x 5
85 lb x 1 x 3
102.5 lb x 5
102.5 lb x 5
102.5 lb x 4
102.5 lb x 1

Missed the last one on working set. Put it down for ~10s, put up the last one - very slowly with a grind. Will repeat this weight and smash it next time.

Power Clean:
45 lb x 2 x 5
75 lb x 1 x 5
95 lb x 1 x 3
115 lb x 1 x 2
140 lb x 3 x 5

Got them all up, but I need to focus on getting my arms out underneath for the rack. I do it easily and naturally at lower weights, but catch too much weight on my arms instead of just catching it in the rack during working set. I think it's a mental thing I have to get past.


Chin-Up:
3 reps
2 reps
1 reps x 7

The 3 and 2 are dead hangs. The singles are jumping starts with 3-5s in between them.
