Nice! That's one of my goals this year.

 

Thanks guys, it came up real smooth. That "Game Day" training regimen gave me a fifteen pound boost in two weeks.

 

Is that gameday training hell on earth? It doesn't seem that bad from the write up, but then again what does?

If I would burn a lot of calories while really working my back out well, I'm game!

 

I've been practicing the hook grip on these rows. It doesn't hurt as I expected it to, but I don't think I have it down completely yet. I think my regular grip is still stronger. Hopefully the hook catches up soon.

Left hand grip failed me on the SLBR's. I'm going to have to try hookgrip, like tensdaddy. Still loving those pullovers!

That is some pretty strong rowing -- especially for 185!

 

Thanks Joe.

 

warm ups + 3x5 @ 165 Pendlay rows.

These went up with ease.

 

Did some SLDLs from the floor, a la Pete, for the first time today. Fun

Yesterday:

Power Snatch: 2x40 kg, 2x50 kg, 1x60 kg, 1x65 kg, 1x70 kg, 1x75 kg, 0x80 kg
Power Clean & Split Jerk: 2x60 kg, 1x90 kg, 1x95 kg, 1x100 kg, 1x105 kg, 1x110 kg
Chin-ups: 8, 5, 3

My snatch felt off and didn't go as well as I hoped, but my clean went well. 110 puts me on par with my last PR, which is nice. Hopefully I'll be good for 115 in a few weeks and then beyond.
