3x6x150kg (last set 3rd rep onwards paused)

about 4.30mins rest. quite doable. lower back had a massive pump after but after some leg crossover stretch + butterfly stretches, was much better

was also doing 2 btn pullups every half hour the entire day. did about 20+ total?

did my physio feet exercises as well as some lunges. i love to talk cock at the gym!!!

good testing day. originally i wanted to aim to hit 2x90kg but it was not meant to be, i guess due to squatting max weights the day before.
when i was warming up, i couldnt get my heels to hit my butt which was a sign that ?i was still recovering and my warm ups to 85kg were quite uncoordinated mainly due to fatigue i guess. some of the snatches were quite horrible (totally missing the hip contact at 80kg, unable to produce enough power to extend after fali at 85kg etc) but it was understandable, given the squatting as well as the heavier upright rows that i did yesterday.

front squatting was heavy but managable. hopefully can build enough volume during this prep time before the eoy comp. AND hopefully i am doing it correctly.

Setup for the lift should be fast, just like how you tense your body, don’t take your time at the bar. my arms werent transfering the bar up well at the beginning so i had to do some muscle snatches to get the movement.

was really really rushed today lmao. warmed up ankles, hamstrings and by doing bar muscle snatches. in retrospective, i should have done a contactless high pull or some form of 3rd pull warmup cos I realised during 70kg that the transition to overhead was very poor haha. oh well. another insight was that i should have made the best of my time there and done either assistive similar explosive exercises (high pull/high pull from hang etc) or just a muscle building exercise. oh well. at least i know i can randomly power snatch 80+ with quite shitty 3rd pull.

was hard to focus with the loud chinese edm and the caffeine but it was a good learning experience. shitty workout

Lower back was very very stiff coming into the workout. Sprained my back on the last set and did some singles to test how was it. Sigh. Rmb to keep bracing after the dip, till lockout and down signal. Biceps didn’t hurt after jerks today so thank god.
