A. 

Power Snatch - build to tough TnG double; rest as needed

 

Result: 185 / 225 / 245 / 255 PR for TnG double power snatch / 270x @ 1 / 265x @ 1

 

Really disappointed with this. 270# and 265# felt very achievable when I got the bar over head, they were just too far forward for me to save...very disappointed.

 

B. 

Push Press x2 + Split Jerk x1 - build to tough complex; rest as needed

 

Result: 225 / 275 / 300 / 315 PR

 

Well this was nice. 315# is 15# over my current Push Press 1RM. I guess I have a new 1RM in this move, again. Maybe 325#? 335#? Don't know. Anyway, first time for a little while that I actually felt explosive. I knocked out some box jumps @ 41" and triple unders to gear myself up for today's session. I think that helped quite a bit with my explosiveness today. 

 

 

I think that this will be my last video that I upload for awhile. At least until I put up something commendable...I'm really happy with how quickly I'm improving, but very irritated with how insignificant it is, still. Especially with my bodyweight being so high. I feel like all of my numbers should be at least 1.15-1.2 times HIGHER than where the are now. I know it will all come in due time...I just get humbled time after time. I should look at that as a big challenge, and normally I do, but today was a day where it just got me down.

 

C. 

Front Squat - 3 x 3; rest 3min (build to tough triple)

 

Result: 315 / 365 / 380

 

Need to work a little more on hip and thoracic opening in warmup. It was difficult to keep my elbows up and torso tall on the last set.

 

D1. CG Bench Press - 3 x 5; rest as needed (build, heavy)

D2. DB Single-arm Elbowing Row - 3 x 5 ea arm; rest as needed (build, heavy)

NEW ED Core

Mobility / Movement - 20min, self directed

 

Didn't get a chance to hit the other stuff because I ran out of time before having to teach class. I'm really fucking sick of that happening but it's my own damn fault. I knew today was going to be a full day so I set an alarm to go in early and hit the auxiliary stuff but I slept through it. Nothing like juvenile excuses to start off your day. Anyway, I implemented some shoulder, scap, and ass mobility while the class worked. I'm not sure which one, but my infraspinatus or subscapularis flared up on the left side after the press complex, so I gave it some needed love. We'll see how the HSPU and C2B go tomorrow.
