Woke up this morning feeling like I'd been run over by a bus. Back still sore from tweaking it the other day during GHD sit-ups, knees sore, right shoulder still feels a bit screwed up from one of my workouts last week. Thought of many excuses not to do this workout today but in the end my conscience won out.
Today definitely wasn't a great day in the gym though. Felt tired and lethargic throughout my workout. Don't know why but rest days have that effect on me.
A. Split Jerk: 185# x 3, 195# x 3, 205# x 2, 225 x 1, 235# x 1
- These have been going really good for me lately but today I was a bit sloppy. Had to press out a few reps in the beginning because I was being slow and lazy getting under the bar. Once I focused on really driving myself down and under the bar I was fine.
B1. Power Clean @ 135#, 10 reps x 5 sets, Rest 1:00
- These were fine. Usually have no trouble at this weight.
B2. Toes to Bar, 12-15 reps x 5 sets, Rest 1:00
- Uggh. Did great with these last week. Today, not so much. 12 reps the first set. All others were 8-10 reps. Don't know what happened here. Just tired I guess.
C. 21-15-9-6-3 Thrusters @ 115#, Rest :45
- Never a good thing to see this at the end of your workout! I really wasn't sure whether I'd be able to get through these sets unbroken. I made it through the set of 21 but had to pause in the rack a couple of times. Took me about :55 to bang out the 21 reps. I failed miserably on the set of 15. Dropped the bar after only 6 reps!! This was more mental than anything else. I pussed out on this and I'm still really pissed at myself. Took about :45 before I picked the bar up and finished the set.
- All other sets were unbroken but they were a grind to get through, especially the set of 9. I think that the whole purpose of this part of the workout is to make 95# feel light as a feather. Hope it works.
