60 Day Lifting Challenge – Week 5 Day 5

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

Was actually feeling pretty good today. Lifted with Alex at 3:30 again. My body lied to me…

Warm-up

  • 4x 20-30s Handstand Hold
  • PVC pass-thrus
  • Band pulls
  • 45# Snatch Positions

Muscle Snatch

  • 3×75#
  • 3×85#
  • 3×95#
  • 2x3x105#

Snatch

  • 2×105#
  • 2×120#
  • 2×140#
  • 1×150#
  • 1×160# (F)
  • 2x1x170# (M-F)
  • 2x1x165# (F-M)

Felt terrible. I haven’t had that many misses in a day this entire challenge, other than PR day. Did 2 broad jumps for distance after each of the last 4 singles.

Clean & Jerk

  • 2×135#
  • 2×155#
  • 2×180#
  • 2x1x190#

The C&J felt a little better than the snatches, but still pretty weak. We packed it in early and skipped the back squats and good mornings.

Conditioning

4 Rounds

  • 10 T2B
  • 10 Ball Slams (15#)

I attempted to do the conditioning after Alex left, but I even had to change that on the fly. It was supposed to be two 4 minute AMRAPs of the above movements with a 2 minute rest in between. After 3 sets of 5 T2B I was pretty much doing singles! Finished 4 rounds in 4:45.

Time to rest up for the beginning of week 6 on Monday.

I'm searching for my first hole-in-one. I enjoy being active and making things. I work for Automattic.
