60 Day Lifting Challenge – Week 1 Day 4

I’m doing the 60 Day Lifting Challenge from Columbus Weightlifting. Lighter volume today. Went out to the garage by myself around 11am. Took me about an hour to finish.

Warm-up

  • 3:00 Air Dyne
  • 3 Rounds
    • Max Effort L-Sit on parallettes
    • 5 Shoulder Press 45#
  • 5 Shoulder Press 95#

Split Press (Demo Video)

  • 4×115#
  • 4×120#
  • 4×125#
  • 4×130#
  • 4×135#

Could probably try 140# next time. The balance from the split is a little weird, especially since was the first time I’ve done them.

Power Clean from below the knee (Demo Video)

  • 45# Positions Warm-up
  • 2×95#
  • 2×125#
  • 2×150#
  • 2×175#
  • 1×190#
  • 5x1x200#

No blocks for these, as you can see in the demo video and some of my lifts.

Snatch Deadlifts

  • 5x2x185#

Trying to work these a little faster and get a little more violent with the hip action. Only got the first 3 sets on video.

As I was finishing up my lifts, UPS Freight came with my jerk blocks and the rack/cage. Just in time for jerk balances and jerks on Sunday! I’ll be waiting until doing some work on the garage before setting up the rack, but I’m excited!
