Training Update 1/22/2013

So I PR'd today. Again. Thats 3 in 7 days. Can't say they are true PR's but its been long enough.

Regardless this week represents the week of rest. Just 2 days on the menu. One day for pressing movement and back squat and the next for pulling and front squat.

So for today did the usual warmup routine with some extra upper stretching work. Damn shoulders felt tighter than usual. Plus had to give some extra attention to the hip flexors as they were sore as hell still.

Power cleans are getting better although rather slowly. Im still getting stuck hitting anything over 265 from the floor but 260 seems to be getting easier each session. Today I just worked up to singles and quickly moved to 272, gave it 4 attempts and said 'fuck it'.

Squatting went much better.
135x10
225x5
315x3
365x2 (felt tough)
385x1 (some reason felt light)
405x1 (even better)
425x1 (ugly as all get out but I got it)

I definitely need to work on my low back strength. That last set my ass shot straight up while my back struggled to keep everything steady.
