I’m doing the 60 Day Lifting Challenge from Columbus Weightlifting. I skipped day 5 of week 3. After staining the new platform on Saturday night, I woke up with a headache yesterday. The fumes got from the garage and took over the entire house. My body was feeling pretty beat from all of the work on the garage too. Then when I saw the programming for week 4 (Max Test Week!), I was glad I’d taken the day off yesterday, so I could hit it hard today before heading up to my parents for a couple of days.
Out in the garage at 10am with Alex. First day using the new platform! Still a lot of cleanup and some organizing work, but should have everything done in the garage gym by the end of the week or weekend.
Warm-up
- PVC work
- Various stretching
- Snatch 2×75#
Snatch

- 2×115#
- 2×135#
- 1×145#
- 1×150#

I made a comment to Alex that the 135# double felt heavy, so I stopped thinking after that and the lifts felt good. I’m excited for max snatching on Thursday after a couple relaxing days.
Clean & Jerk
- 2×125#
- 2×150#
- 2×175#

- 1×200#
- 1×215#

- 1×240#
- 1×255# (PR)
- Fx265#
Was supposed to hit a PR match at 250#, but I asked myself what the point was and added another 5#. Glad I did too. Jerk was pretty ugly, landing with a flat back foot and not really dropping under the bar much, but I got it. Felt tired with the 265# even though it was probably plenty high enough. Decided to take the win and move along.
