Monday Auugust 20th, 2012

OK, so not a great training day overall. Came into the gum feeling tired, sore and generally beat down. I was kind of expecting to struggle and it turned out to be a self-fulfilling prophecy!!

A. Snatch: Work to a heavy single
     - 135, 155, 165, 170, 170,175 (miss)
     - Just wasn't feeling these today. Probably should have just stayed at 155 and tried to get the technique dialed in. I think it was a lack of aggressiveness in the 2nd pull. Even on my successful attempts I wasn't receiving the bar well and stepping forward on recovery.

B1. Hi-Bar BS w/ 40# of chains, 5 sets of 2-3 reps @ 22x1
     - First time doing any kind of lift with chains....ever! This was kind of fun actually.
     - 175, 205, 215, 225, 230
B2. Weighted, pronated pull-ups, 5 sets of 4-6 reps @ 30x1
     - All sets @ 35# KB. First set 5 reps, all others 4.

C1. DB Split Squats @ 30x1, 6-8 reps x 3 sets
     - I still hate these. However; I finally....finally seem to have gotten the hang of how to do these (thanks Kevin!). These felt much less awkward than other times that I've done them.
     - All sets @ 2 50# DB's.
C2. Powell Raises @ 30x1, 8-10 reps x 3 sets
     - All sets with 15# DB. This is a good exercise for my gimpy shoulders and I'm starting to work these into my mobility/rehab routines whenever I can.
