I’m betting it was the snatch that got him. [/quote]
Pinned by a snatch. Nothing wrong with that.

And that’s all. Gonna be sore in the shoulders day after tomorrow, I think. First 15 C&P no problem. Easy clean easy press. The last 3 were a little tough.
Squats were done with the gym’s skinny generic belt. Not much support, but I got it done.
Are you sure that 20 C&Ps are enough? 
A little sore?20 singles at 170#… I think soreness is a given.
Great work.

Ohyes. Trying to boost volume so all the little muscles get worked. I’ve almost got my 200. Next time is a max set of 5 and then after that 10 sets of 3 and then try for a max the next session following.

That’s a ‘bit-o’ work. Nicely done.
Sudden thought…I come on here, read all our logs, see how much work we old folks do, and it sure seems like alot, then remember being at the gym, and this was yesterday morning, and watching ‘kids’ stumble around thinking they’re accomplishing something when they’re not. Seems kinda pathetic, actually.
Those paused squats looked fierce, Tony. Nice work.
This place is a teeny little gym. The free weight area is the size of a large kitchen. On my last deadlift I used nearly all the large plates they had. All the men look like runners (also known as prey - things that run are often chased by things that eat them) and NOBODY uses the power cage except maybe the guys that work there. They clearly hadn’t seen anyone move that much weight before - which is pathetic.
The youngsters there watched, but did not ask any questions, just went back to their Stair Masters and 3x10 95 lb benching.
I want to weep for the functionally fit American male.
I see functional fitness as the level where you can get out of a chair, walk a block and carry a bag of groceries. That’s a pretty low level of fitness. Functional, but weak. The level of strength I’m at is what my grandpa considered the minimum just to get through a workday. I’ve achieved normal at best and I’d be catching constant shit for not being able to keep up on the job.
nice work…
now your ready to start a second career as a roofer.
serious 1x20 of any cleans press is very solid, and a little crazy
Mowed the front and back lawns with a powered mower on which I left the power off. Kinda like sled dragging with a sled that gets heavier as the grass catcher fills up. For about 5 city blocks.
Fun, it was.
Really.
I’m calling whiteout on your having “achieved normal”.
I appreciate the fact that the Pale One is functionally funny.
I like the “prey” remark. i used to run when i was smaller. since i’ve gotten big, i can’t think of one instance where i feel like i needed to run anywhere. when i was smaller i often felt the need to run across crosswalks or else be hit by cars. now i cross them walking and thinking- “they don’t want that kind of damage to their car”.
and…why do the “prey” feel the need to wear their meat puppet peekaboo shorts into the weightroom?? there’s nothing worse than stiff legged deadlifts in a pair of booty shorts cut up to the daddy parts.
The only thing you need to run for is chasing a giggling woman.

Dammit! I was eating rice in scrambled eggs when I read that.
Right out the nose.
