Better then yesterday

[bull.dogz]

Coach said I had to squat today, he didn't care if I was sore. I had to get over this mental block I have with squatting more than 75kg.

So............

Back squats:
35x5, 45x5, 55x5, 60x3, 65x3
W/belt: 70x3, 75x3, 80x3, 85x2....stopped counting at this point. Was just going to go by feel and not psych myself out.

Singles: 90, 95, 100, 103, 106(Miss, this would have been a pr). Last max was 105 before I strained my hip. No pain at all while squatting. Feels good to be back.

Really having a hard time getting moving and motivated lately.

Snatch (deficit) barx2x2, dbls - 20, 20, 25, 30
35, 35, 35
Just working on keeping my chest up and not jumping forward.

Just wasn't locking out on the 75's.

Split press: 3x10 @ 25kg

Honestly, a little surprised about the jerks. My wrist is still a little sore. But these days what isn't?!

This should fix your back

I've had mine for 2-3 weeks and I am a big fan, placebo effect or not I'll take anything that helps.

I looked at that when Klokov posted a video of him using it. I'll have to look into it.

Pull ups: 3, 4, 4, 3, 3

My clean rhythm is coming back. They felt good. Unlike the snatches.

Got distracted coaching so didn't do much else. Hip feels okay today. Will probably try to front squat tonight.

I think my chiropractor is on vacation. Can't get a hold of her so haven't been able to get my back adjusted. Tried to warm up with snatches but it's just not happening.

Split press @ 25kg 3x10
3rd set I was arching my back a lot and almost missed the last rep

Hip felt decent today.....could be all the ibuprofen.

Warmup:
Snatch: board flr/kn: 20, 20, 25, 30, 35x2 (missed the 2nd one, it was out front)

Power snatches:
35x3
37x2, 1 (thought I was supposed to do 2)
40x2x3
Catching pretty high but they were supposed to be powers so it's all good.

Warmup:
Power clean & power jerk: 35, 40

46 (3pc+2pj), 50 (3+2), 54 (2+2)2
If these were going to give me pain it would have been at the 54. Wasn't pretty and I wasn't dropping under much, more like a crossfit clean but regardless I got the work done. My push jerks at 54 were pretty much push presses.

Attempted back squats but only got up to 63kg. Now it's more like a sciatica. Felt it shooting down my leg so my low back is out of alignment.
35x5, 45x3, 55x3, 63x3

My shoulders and left elbow is hurting. Been rolling things out but it's still not helping. Just feeling beat up lately.

[bull.dogz]

Hip feels a bit better today. I can walk without pain but I know if I try to squat it will flair up again. So worked on upper body stuff.

Bench....worked up to 61kg. Really grinded that one out. Couldn't get 62.

Press.....could only get 41kg. I'm disappointed. My press has actually gone down over the years.

Push Press...52kg. Blah!

Pull ups 4x5
Pressdowns
Push ups
More foam rolling.
