Good workout - expecially with the snatches (first real time going heavy on these). Was kinda pissed about not hitting the 82.5 C&J but oh well maybe next time. I cleaned it up to my chest both times but just couldnt squat it up. Squats were lower today cause of all the volume before them but good nonetheless.

I’ve been away the past week so today was my first workout in a while.

Good workout for the first day back in a while. Definitly feel like my lifts should be going up soon (knock on wood) and the snatches especially were feeling nice and smooth. Little dissapointed about the squats but I figure its my first day back and they were done after some volume so no big deal.

Don’t really know why things went so badly today - I’m hoping it was just because it was only my second workout back but who knows…

I think I need to go into a leg strength focused phase of my training. It’s very frustrating being able to pull big weights high enough to clean / but not be able to squat it up. I was thinking of maybe starting 2 out of my three weekly sessions with squats and then working on the lifts mostly from the hang to work on eness. Ideas? Sound good to you guys?

I really can’t understand why my legs feel so weak lately. My max front squat is 85 kilos so around 187 lbs but yet I could only manage 2 sets of doubles with 170… I guess I’ll just continue squatting first and hopefully bring my leg strength up. After the squats I was kinda pissed and I took it out on the pulls getting a 5 rep PR and a 3 rep PR so that felt good.
