MP: W6, D3 - Final Day and Prep Day

The program was definitely good for me, I really needed to learn how to cut down on the intensity and work on my technique. I feel that at some points it was too light, and I would have preferred to stay around 80-85% as opposed to several times lifting at 60 or 70% which I felt was too light, more like a warmup.

I did not feel I gained any strength on this program. However, it was not a program with the goal of gaining strength so thats okay, but in the future I need to continue to gain strength. I plan to do that with my next program.

I set two personal records in week 5. I snatched 95 kg for a 2 kg PR (as well as making my form in the lift much better, and more consistent. I hit 95 on the first try.), and I jerked 130 from boxes. I was unable to clean and jerk 130 or 132, but I plan to try at the York Barbell Open this weekend.

Monday:

Power Snatch From Hang:
-up to 62 x 2,2,2

Clean and Jerk:
-did several at 80 but decided to skip it because I was in the ERC and the bar was scraping my legs up

I ran out of tape so I did not overhead squat, and decided not to snatch grip deadlift.

Tuesday (Prep Day):

Snatch up to 60% - 57 kg x 1 x 5

Clean and Jerk up to 60% - 77 x 1 x 6

Power Snatch 77 (for fun)

-----
I plan to open with 84/120.
