- Nothing like starting the New Year with a PR! I did 270# and it was actually the first time in about a year I did anything over 260. The rep was tough and I had to fight for it but it was a very clean lift. In other words, no arched back after coming out of the hole. I think that there were several reasons I was able to make this lift....
1. I chose a sensible progression of weights while working up to 270. In the past I think I made the mistake of doing a set that was just shy of my max. The result is that by the time I got to my max, I had nothing in the tank!
2. I was way more aggressive. I stayed tight from head to toe throughout the lift.
3. I didn't panic when I hit a sticking point. There have been times when I start struggling with a lift when I just quit and dropped it. This time I waited that extra second and was able to fight through it.
4. Did a better job of staying back in my heels. I have a tendency to lean forward when coming out of the hole. Didn't do that this time.
- So, I'm happy that I broke through a plateau but I'm nowhere near satisfied as this is a big weakness that is also holding me back on Olympic lifts.
A2. Weighted Ring Dips, 3 reps x 3 sets, rest 2 minutes between sets.
- 53#. Wasn't too hard. Couldve pushed for more.
B. 3 Sets of the following @ High Aerobic Effort:
10 Chest to Bar Pull Ups
15 Wall Balls
25 Burpees
15 Wall Balls
10 Chest to Bar Pull Ups
Rest 3 minutes between sets
- First set about 3:00 flat. Next set roughly 3:15 and last set about 3:30. Everything unbroken until the last 3 CTB P/U's. Should've really tried harder to not come off the bar at all. Burpees were my weakness on this one.
