60 Day Lifting Challenge – Week 1 Day 3

I’m doing the 60 Day Lifting Challenge from Columbus Weightlifting. Yesterday was a rest day. Went oven to Kevin’s garage after 6pm to lift tonight.

Warm-up

  • Jumping Jacks
  • PVC work
  • 15# Snatch Positions

Muscle Snatches

  • 4×45#
  • 2×75#
  • 3x2x85#
  • 2x2x95#
  • 2×105#

Muscle Cleans

  • 3×75#
  • 3×105#
  • 3x3x125#
  • 3×135#
  • 3×145#

I think these muscle movements are really helping my turnover. Bumped the weights up a couple notches from the other day and still felt good on these.

Snatches

  • 2×95#
  • 2×115#
  • 2×135#
  • 1×145#
  • 1×155#
  • 4x1x160#

I was going to do the last 4 singles with 165#, but 155# felt bad, so I stuck to 160#. Stopped thinking in the last couple of reps and was much better. The last rep felt the best of the day.

Back Squats

  • 2×205#
  • 2×240#
  • 2×270#
  • 3x2x290#

First set at 290# was ugly, especially the 2nd rep. Second set too! Stopped thinking and nailed the 3rd set.

Seated Good Mornings

  • 5×155#
  • 5×175#
  • 5×185#
  • 2x5x195#

Have never done this much volume with them. Will probably be feeling them tomorrow.
