Today was unquestionably a GREAT day in the gym for me. Felt really strong and that the training I've been doing is definitely helping me make some gains!!
A. Work to heavy Back Squat single, 20x1
- Warm-up sets: 5 reps @ 135, 5 reps @ 185, 3 reps @ 225, 1 @ 245
- Work sets: 275, 285, 300
- 300 didn't feel "easy" but I definitely could have pushed at least 10# heavier. Decided to quit while I was ahead. Still feel great about this lift because A) it was a no-bullshit, full depth, good clean rep and B) it's a PR for me on the High-Bar Back Squat!
B1. Snatch Cluster @ 135# 1.1.1.1.1.1 x 5 sets
- These felt shockingly easy and I was psyched to not miss one rep throughout. I remember not too long ago, this was a challenging snatch weight for me.
B2. Muscle-Up Cluster @ 2.2.2 x 5 sets
- No misses!
C1. Split Squats x 3 sets
- Having a hard time convincing myself to go up in weight on these things. Been using 50# every week and still feels really, really tough. Did all 3 sets of 8 reps @ 50#'s.
C2. CTB Pull-Up Cluster 5.5.5 x 3 sets
- I was somewhat doubtful that I'd make it through these unbroken but I did! My reps improved in the later sets once I started to groove "pulling my hips back" following my kipping swing.
