Had Been Sick Since Tuesday

I felt exhausted and sore all over after Tuesday’s workout. Didn’t add up and later in the day I realized I was getting sick. Finally started feeling better today and was able to lift again. Did a session out in the garage with Kevin.

Warm-up

  • 3:00 Air Dyne
  • Various Snatch Warm-up Exercises

OLY

Snatches

  • 2 @ 75#
  • 2 @ 95#
  • 2 @ 115#
  • 2 @ 135#
  • 2 @ 145#
  • 2 @ 155#
  • 2 @ 135#
  • 2 @ 145#
  • 2 @ 155# (missed the first one)
  • 2 @ 135#
  • 2 @ 145#
  • 2 @ 155#

Some of the early sets of 135 and up felt a little slow and weird. Figured out it was because I was thinking too much, causing things to slow down. When I just went for the lift and took my mind out of it, everything felt much faster.

Snatch Deadlifts

  • 2 @ 155#
  • 2 @ 175#
  • 2 @ 195#
  • 2 @ 205#

I’m able to keep a good knees out position with these. Sooner or later it has to start transferring to the snatch, where I still dive in the knees on the rebend.

Strength

Bench Press

  • 10 @ 45#
  • 5 @ 135#
  • 5 @ 155#
  • 5 @ 165#
  • 5 @ 175#
  • 5 @ 185#
  • 5 @ 195#
  • 5 @ 205#
  • 5 @ 210#
  • 5 @ 215#
  • 5 @ 220#

I started using the slingshot with the 165# set I think.

3 Rounds NFT

  • 5 GHR
  • 5 Hip Extensions (10# plate)
  • 1 Back Extension

First time doing the slow back extension. Really lit up the back.

Tomorrow I’ll be starting the 60 Day Lifting Challenge from Columbus Weightlifting. It’ll be weird to give up control of my programming.
