60 Day Lifting Challenge – Week 3 Day 1

I’m doing the 60 Day Lifting Challenge from Columbus Weightlifting. Out in the garage just after 10 by myself for the start of week 3, with a focus on 85% for the week.

Warm-up

Shoulder Pre-hab

  • Scap band work
  • 5×45# Shoulder Press
  • 5×95# Shoulder Press

Split Press

  • 2x4x125#
  • 4×130#
  • 2x4x135#

Have been bumping up the total weight on these each week. Not easy though, so they turn out to be solid work.

Snatch

  • 2×95#
  • 2×115#
  • 2×135#
  • 1×145#
  • 1×155#
  • 4x1x165#

Felt pretty good with the snatch today.

Clean & Jerk

  • 2×125#
  • 2×150#
  • 2×175#
  • 1×190#
  • 1×200#
  • 2x1x215#

Cleans felt powerful, but jerks still feel awkward.

Front Squat

  • 2×185#
  • 2×220#
  • 2×250#
  • 2×280#
  • 1×295#
  • Miss 310#
  • Miss 300#
  • 2x1x285#

Fuck! We were supposed to do 4 singles at 100%, but I failed the first, so dropped some weight and missed that. Struggled to get the 285# singles.

Made all of my other lifts for the day, so I guess there’s that to look at as a win. Kind of a downer with the front squats though.
