Much of the recent weight gain is body fat. I can see that difference. I'm at a level where I need to be mindful of it.
Squat actually went better than I thought. Even the last rep never really got grindy. One more 10 lb jump might be in the works. We'll see how things feel on Friday, as 5 lb isn't a shame either. It's just so obnoxious to load 310 on the bar.
Trying Nick Delgadillo's protocol of getting 15 reps at all cost. It was technically better than last time, but still couldn't get 5 reps in a set. Still, up to 120 on Friday.
Cleans went mostly alright, but I think I warmed up too close to the work set. I did some at 125 lb just to feel the weight. By the final set, I was really struggling and had a couple drops. I might repeat the weight on Friday. After that, I might drop to 2.5 lb jumps. I finally saw in the grey book, page 87, where it mentions 2.5 lb jumps for cleans. (Before, I had only caught on to the well-executed NLP example in the grey book, and that dude never jumped less than 5 lbs.)
