A

Power Snatch - 10 singles from blocks (mid-shin), 2 reps each @ 135/155/175/195/205#; rest 90sec

Felt good, solid, and connected. After reviewing some film, I did notice that the bar gets away from me as it travels passed my chest. I'll have to figure out why that is. 

B

Push Press - 5 x 5; rest 2min (building tolerance to OH pressing capacity)

Result: 185 / 205 / 225 / 245 / 265

This is close to my 5RM PR, which I think is 275#. I'm not sure. Anyway, not much pain here at all. I took some extra time to focus on my mechanics and insure that I was driving through my heels. 

C

Deadlift from blocks (mid-shin) - 3 reps @ 205# every 60sec for 6 sets

Felt good, overall. Minimal low-back tightness, but it was still noticeable. 

D

Box Squat (@ parallel) - 5 x 3; rest 90sec (building to tolerance)

Result: 225 / 315 / 405 / 405 / 405

Stopped at 405# because I kept shifting forward onto the balls of my feet rather than driving through my heels. It was mildly irritating, but it was nice to be squatting in the 4's again with no back pain.

Always enjoyable. Honestly beginning to feel most of the discomfort in my lungs and legs rather than my back.
