Snatch
43 x 2, 2

Block Snatch
39 x 2, 2, 2 - took a while to warm up with lifts feeling good
47 x 2
55 x 1 - taking a bigger jump
61 x 1 x 5 OTM
61 x 1 x 4/5 OTM - missed first rep of this round, but cleaned it up and finished the rest
61 x 1 x 5 OTM - very solid round of lifts

So, this was a bit impromptu, but a very good session. Decided I needed to nut up and put some weight on the bar!!

Clean Pulls
61 x 3
84 x 3
102 x 3
125 x 3
143 x 4 Clean DL - went for 5th but only came about 2" off the ground before Nope!! Not there today, but solid effort

Overhead Press
39 x 10, 10 - struggled to get 10 reps on second set, so left it there

[Bulldog73]

Okay, first of all, sorry for not posting in a while, but I ended up hiring a new coach to do remote programming for me, today marked day 1...

Tuesday, 02.19.2019

Paused Snatch ATK
39 x 2, 2, 2
43 x 2
47 x 2
52 x 2 x 3 - this was about 75% of current 1RM and was a little tough due to not training them for a long time

Snatch
57 x 3

So, I should have done 1-2 warm-ups at or slightly below the weight above, also missed the down set after this one

Back Squat
61 x 8
84 x 5
102 x 1
102 x 8 - 1st rep paused for 5s
93 x 8 - 1st rep paused for 5s

Wasn't sure what weight to choose here, so took it a bit easy due to the 5 sec paused first rep

Bent Over BB Row
52 x 10, 10, 10

Back Extension
25lbs against chest x 10, 10, 10 - pretty incredible lower back pump

[Bulldog73]

Well, legs were stupid sore last night, couldn't sleep well, but felt good enough today

Wednesday, 02.20.2019

Paused Clean + Pause Jerk
52 x 2, 2
61 x 1
70 x 1
75 x 2, 2, 2 - I did the warm-ups as 2 (CJ+CJ), then first 2 sets here as 2+2, but collarbones were taking a beating, so last set was a double

Clean & Jerk
80 x 2
88 x 2 - these were tough, but solid

Push Press
bar x 8
43 x 2
52 x 8 - wasn't sure what I could do for 8 reps, so started conservatively
47 x 8

One Hand BB Farmers Carry
bar x 20 yds'ish x 3/per hand

Weighted Plank
45lb x 30 sec x 3 - harder than I anticipated was shaking a bit during these

Thursday, 02.21.2019 - 3rd day in a row with higher volume

Block Snatch ATK (above the knee)
39 x 3, 3
47 x 2
52 x 3 x 4 sets - 1st set was hook grip, then straps

Snatch Pulls
70 x 5 x 3 sets - was surprised these flew up as well as they did, up to upper chest (almost neck) height

Back Squat
84 x 5
102 x 2
116 x 5 - was supposed to be moderate weight (70-80%) and this was a bit much, so...
111 x 5 x 3 - much better, but legs were feeling tired and energy was somewhat lacking

Rope Tricep Pushdown leaning away - 32.5lbs (on weight stack) x 10 x 3 sets

DB Bench Press - 40 x 10 x 3 - humbling, to say the least

52 x 1

61 x 1
70 x 1

Clean DL
102 x 5
125 x 2
139 (305lbs) x 5 - this was a solid, heavy effort, but I know I have more in the tank

1 arm DB 3point row - 45lbs x 12 x 3/arm superset with DB seated shoulder press x 30lbs x 12 x 3

Rope Tricep pushdown - 32.5 x 10 x 3 - these are still pretty hard and I get a decent pump from them
