245 - 5×3

I'm pretty beat down today. I did yard and house work all day yesterday, didn't get to train at all, but it wore me down just as bad as a heavy session.

Clean&Jerk:
These 3+1 really beat me down. The 2+1 wasn't any better. I was sucking wind badly and had to take a few minutes between sets because I was feeling slightly ill.

Clean Pulls:
Harder than usual because of fatigue.

Back Squat:
Brutally hard due to exhaustion. Each set of these started off well enough for the first 2 or 3 reps, but then broke down badly. My legs were dead. The last set was a nightmare.

Snatches:
These winded me. I did true triples and doubles,* quickly. I'm not used to it. The pulls felt good, but I couldn't balance anything over head. I barely secured 182.5.

Snatch Pulls:
Fairly easy.

Front Squat:
My ankle started hurting again, out of the blue when I tried to warm-up. I wrapped it tightly and it helped a little, but it still hurt.

175 - failed 1st rep, stopped


Not much sleep, poor nutrition, and a busy schedule had me worn down. I didn't get to train until late in the evening. Tired.

Snatch Deadlift + Mis Hang Snatch:
These were not great. I felt stiff and awkward all over. They really took a lot out of me. I felt beaten afterward.

Snatch Deadlift:
Heavy and heard, but good reps.

Snatch Balance + Overhead Squat:
These were brutal. I hate both snatch balances and overhead squats with a passion. And together I hate them even more. My right shoulder did not like these. It was sore. Catching a snatch didn't hurt, but something about the snatch balance did.

Did not do my scheduled Push Press+Jerk. Shoulder hurt. Didn't want to push it.

I was not well rested today at all. I got warmed up,* but then worked with my daughter for 2 hours on her training and cooled down again. Had to warm-up again and had trouble getting loose. Stuff throughout my session.

Clean&Jerk:
These were rough. My legs were tired. Did power cleans through 207.5 to save the legs. 220 went better than I thought it would and ended up a good clean lift.

Clean Pulls:
Not much snap to these. Pretty tired.

Back Squat:
Brutally hard. My legs were completely dead, but I got them done.

These weren't too bad. It's almost like I remembered how to deadlift again. Didn't push it, just hit the reps I wanted and stopped. Gotta save something for tomorrow.

Not sleeping well. Pretty tired today.

Snatches:
I was all sorts of crooked and wobbly on these, even the warmups. Pulls felt solid, but catches were weak and soft. 182.5 was actually a solid strong lift. I wasn't close with 192.5.

Snatch Pulls:
Pretty good.

Front Squats:
I was ready to be done, so I cut a lot of warm-up reps and just got to the main sets. They went well enough.

Press 5/5/5+
97.5 x5
112.5 x5
127.5 x 8


I decided to try pressing again and see how my shoulder held up. I also removed the clean before the press. I'm getting plenty of clean work right now, so I am pressing from the rack for a while.

I found my max and then used that to calculate the percentages for 5/3/1. The working sets went well.

Then I ran 1/4 mile,* which was a lot more tiring than I thought it would be.

*stopped due to shoulder*

Very tired today. Had another very early morning with little sleep. Didn't get to eat anything today before training for the 2nd day in a row.

Clean Deadlift+Mid-Hang Clean:
Stiff, awkward, off balance. None of the reps were smooth. All power cleans because my legs were tired.

Clean Deadlift:
Harder than they should have been, but good reps.

Overhead Squats:
These were rough on the shoulder. Snatch and pressing were fine, but these weren't. I stopped and didn't try to go heavier. I didn't want to risk injury.

I skipped the programmed Push Press+Jerk.

Ran 1/4 mile afterward.

Bench Press
45-20×2

I tried benching today, but my shoulder wasn't having any of it. Things felt fine until those overhead squats.

I went out and did some conditioning instead.
