Wednesday - Tiring Olympic Workout

Tiring workout, lowering the weights in the SPH for the lifts. Plus it was really hot and humid.

Hang Snatch:
-work up to 64 x 3,3,3

These felt really good. I was looping the bar a bit on the first sets, but I really hammered it down for the last few work sets. Troy told me to think about "brushing my chest with the bar" and it helped get me to bend my arms and keep the bar close. The drop under was REALLY fast and it felt awesome.

Clean and Jerk:
-work up to 90 x 2,2,2

This was supposed to be 3x3 but with lowering the weights, it was too much to do. In addition, I had to sneak the chalk so it was difficult to hold for three reps, and lowering, etc. 3x2 isn't bad. The clean and jerks felt strong at least.

Snatch Push Press:
-work up to 64 x 5,5,5

This felt really good. I really like this lift. Doing it in the rack might be better next time though.

Front Squat:
-work up to 118 x 3,3,3

This should have been really easy, but it was kind of hard. Not grinding or anything, but not easy like the weight should be. I was pretty tired from the other lifts. I need to get back into squatting more volume and intensity, I've been out of it. The volume at least.

Chins:
-16 x 5,5
Back Extensions:
-14 x 10,10,10
