Felt a bit beat up this morning, so took a shot of Hydroxycut extreme (free samples) to get a little energy going.

Hang Muscle Snatch

Bar x 3
30 x 3
42.5 x 3 x 3

Snatch

55 x 3 x 3

Clean & Jerk

MetCon: did a longer one today, because the regular workout was brief and light.  21, 15, 9 reps of 45 kg push press, modified dips (put two boxes together and dipped between them), burpees (think squat thrusters), 20 kg SDHP (sumo DL high pull) - did this one in 21:25 - wasn't really worried about time, and took the rest I needed to make sure I completed everything, but this one still totally wiped me out.  I have never sweated so much in my life, and my shoulder girdle and upper arms were toast afterwards.  It's really fun trying to drive home in a stick shift when the arms don't want to work very well

Back Squats

50 x 5

Power Snatch + Snatch (1+1)

45 x 1 x 2
50 x 1 x 2
55 x 1 x 3  these all went pretty well (they were light), but transitioning from power to full snatch was a bit challenging!!

112.5 x 3 x 3  these were barely more than deads, but I got a little movement out of them

Clean Deadlifts

[Keith Miller]

Well, I have been lifting, just been really busy with school (final exams) and work (they are getting strict about Internet usage!!), so I haven't been posting in a while.  I should be back for a bit.

70 x 3
80 x 2
90 x 1
95 x 1
100 x 1
105 x 1  these all felt pretty good considering my back on the left side has been sore, from a pull or something

Front Squats

50 x 3
70 x 3
90 x 2
100 x 1
110 x 1
120 x 0  back was not into this today

The lower back on the left side gets sore in the bottom position of the squats, so I have been hesitant while descending!!  Oh well, it's getting better

I am done with Spring semester and I have only one class this summer.  Classes will be MW and some Fridays, so lifting will be a little better.
