Looking for More PRs

Kevin and I went to the gym at 1:00pm after classes to do some lifting. I warmed up with about a 300m run, some PVC pass-thrus, and stretching.

Cleans

• 2 @ 95#
• 2 @ 135#
• 2 @ 165#
• 1 @ 185#
• 1 @ 205#
• 1 @ 225#
• 1 @ 240# (PR)
• F @ 250#
• 1 @ 250# (PR)

Hitting 240# was a 10# PR and was no problem. Then I psyched myself out on 250# and didn’t even try to get under it. Went again and nailed it, but had a pretty ugly first pull with my ass raising up a ton to start.

Bench Press

• 5 @ 45#
• 5 @ 95#
• 3 @ 135#
• 2 @ 185#
• 1 @ 205#
• F @ 230#
• F @ 230#

On both attempts at 230#, I had the bar moving good and then my right arm just hit the brakes. Weird. I can’t even get back to my 235# PR from last November. Disappointing.

Snatch

• 3 @ 45#
• 2 @ 95#
• 1 @ 115#
• 1 @ 135#
• 1 @ 145#
• F @ 155#
• F @ 155#

I should have shut it down earlier, but I was stubborn and wanted to go for it. Not trying to make excuses, but just wasn’t feeling it in the snatches at all today.
