60 Day Lifting Challenge – Week 2 Day 2

I’m doing the 60 Day Lifting Challenge from Columbus Weightlifting.

Thought I’d be feeling terrible after all of the 90% work yesterday, but I feel pretty good. In at 10am to lift.

Warm-up

I did a variety of stuff with an empty 45# bar, including muscle snatches, bottom squat snatch presses, snatch presses, and shoulder presses.

Split Press

  • 4×120#
  • 4×125#
  • 4×130#
  • 2x4x135#

Didn’t feel the strongest, but an overall improvement in load from last week.

Snatch

  • 2×95#
  • 2×115#
  • 2×135#
  • 1×145#
  • 5x1x155#

This was the first lift at 155#. My bar path is improving. Still gets away too much after meeting the hips.

Clean & Jerk

  • 2×125#
  • 2×150#
  • 2×175#
  • 1×190#
  • 5x1x205#

This was the first lift at 205#. Finally starting to come in from the start instead of the first move of the bar being away from the body and then in.

Clean Deadlift

  • 5x2x235#

Felt pretty good with the lifts. Could tell I was a little fatigued, but not too bad. Back to 90% lifts tomorrow!
