Morning weight - 285.6#

A
Power Snatch - build to moderate TnG double for the day; rest as needed 

Result - 235#

This was probably about all I had in me for a double. The second rep was pretty close to a squat snatch. Had to consult with a "true" weightlifter to be sure it was a power snatch and not a squat snatch (we rewatched it several times on the security camera at the gym). Power didn't feel great, but I didn't feel super weak, which is good, I think.

B
Snatch Pull - 3 x 1.1.1; rest 10sec + 2min (110-115% of "A", use straps) 

Result - 275# across

This was a little over 115% but I wanted to get that feel for 275# in my hands, again. I think, with moderate consistency, I can get 275# back over my head at some point in my life. Not a huge deal if I do or don't, so long as I keep starting to look pretty.  

C
BB Shoulder Press - build to moderate 5 for the day; rest as needed 

Result - 135 / 155 / 165 / 175 / 185

Stopped at 185#. It wasn't a 5RM but it wasn't easy either. that fifth rep required some work. Not going to lie, I was a little bummed afterward because, earlier in the spring, I was hitting 225# for 4-5 and probably could have done it a few more times. It's alright, though. I haven't done much pressing stuff for strength is a good while.  

D
DB 2-arm Uneven Stance RDL @3030 tempo - 4 x 6-8 ea leg; rest 60sec 

Result - 65# across (heaviest we have)

E
Medball Rotational Hammer Throw - 3 x 5-6 ea side; rest 60sec (slow/controlled)

20# across, I love this movement.

I'm going to start putting things into the Google Sheets, again, for the food tracking, if that's ok. I'm feeling pretty good on this stuff. Really excited to start seeing significant results in a few more weeks!
