Nice work.

Did a little rowing today along wtih some light snatches. Sweated a few pounds out in the garage while the gf was working out. I missed a meal earlier today too which sucks but just downed some pizza and salad so hopefully some extra cals from the pizza will help.

Legs are a little sore along with the lower back. My chest is a little tight but nothing really. I will probably aim to squat again on thursday or I might train tomorrow on the oly lifts then squat on friday. Not sure yet tore a callus off my right pinkie finger last time so might just squat thurs and skip the oly workout to let my hand heal up more.

Today sucked! Was planning on working out skipped yesterday to be fresh for today and got caught at work dragging shit around all day in the heat. Definitly not a good precursor to my workout so 255 for 20 will have to wait until tomorrow. I'm going to do some mental rehersal and see if that helps any.

Been busy the past week or so. Haven't had time to attempt 255x20 yet but did get a few workouts in. Work has been hectic so I decided to not push it and wait until i'm ready for the 20 reppers. I am very anxious to get back at them!

powersnatch worked up to 60 kg

powerclean up to 102.5, pulling was weak from deads the day before. Missed my first attempt and had to try again.

flat bench 135x10 185x5 225x5 275missed 265 went up but not the way it needs to. 275 wasnt' that far off either my bench is feeling strong for not really pushing it the past few months.

close grip 3 boardpress 225x3 235x3

my new favorite exercise is flipping bumper plates. Did 20 consecutive flips with each hand simultaneoulsy with a 25lb bumper in each hand.

chest supported parallel bb rows
135x8 185x6 205x5 135x12 these were done explosively as possible deloading the weight between each rep. There is only an inch or so slack in my arms when the bar is on the ground.

worked on snatch and clean form

snatch worked up to 45kg really trying to pull myself under

clean worked up to 82kg again trying to pull my self under and only pulling the bar as high as I think i need to, to get under it.


My training seems to be going good my weight has not gone up I weigh 187 right now. I attribute that to work and sweating ungodly amounts and my cooler can only hold so much food.

I start school again on monday so that will allow me to pretty much just sit in class and eat whatever i'm disciplined enough to make the night before. I'm looking forward to it.
