45lb, 2x5
95/115/135/155/185lbx3
205lbx1
220lb, 3x3
My entire lower body felt incredibly sore ever since Saturday. Made this session more painful than usual. On the plus side, I felt a lot better than I usually do on Mondays when it comes to squatting.
DB row-
80lbx5
100lb, 3x5
Left side tired out and on the third set. The reps were no longer good reps.
Hang power-clean-
65lbx3
95lbx3
120lbx2
95lb, 3x3
The 120lb wasn’t happening today. I simply didn’t have enough power coming out, and so each rep became sloppy.
Effortless once my grip got along with the program around 245lb. Wanted to get to about 335lbish just to see how it feels. Purposely did few reps to not aggravate the shins.
And then my right shin rips exactly at the same spot it ripped a couple of months ago. This is beyond dumb. I spent close to 3 months not deadlifting just to let it heal up.
I’m going to need to get some sort of shin cover.
DB row-
80lb, 3x5
Farmer’s Walk-
85lb, 3x~20 feet?
Body felt fine, no hunching over or anything. But grip had trouble.

Hamstrings felt painfully sore yesterday and today. This made squatting miserable. I blame barbell squatting only once last week and then coming and doing 3x8.
Hrm. Was going to be pleased with another rep and the overall fact that this felt a lot easier than last month (rep 12-14 last month was basically me muscling it up whereas it was much cleaner this time around), and then I look back and see that I did triples for the 95 and 105lb in Jan.
Meh. I’ll see what happens next week and the following month and decide whether I set the TM a bit too high.

DB snatch-
50lb, 10 min.
Wanted to do some sort of DB complex today for conditioning. Toyed around with clean and press for a couple reps then attempted a DB snatch. Went up easy enough, and so I just chose to continue doing snatches for about 10 minutes.
I found it a fun way to do conditioning work. I’ll keep doing this every week.
