Entry #843

Wow, I really need to update more than the first day of each cycle.


Back is insanely sore from doing cleans and being compressed like an accordion at the peak of the concentric. Debating whether to use a belt or not.


Squat:
185 x 5
225 x 5
275 x 5
315 x 5
355 x 5


Bench press: 
135 x 5
185 x 5
225 x 5 
275 x 5
290 x 4
> This one rack is no good for benching. The pins jut out way too much and I end up pushing with the bar too far down the sagittal plane to avoid hitting them. Totally killed my shoulders doing this and consequently left me weaker by the end of it. Will nail next week for sure. 


Power cleans:
135 x 5
165 x 5
185 x 5
205 x 5
215 x 3
> Tough. Maybe start at 95 next time and make 205 my 5RM.


GHR with 10 lbs. and planks.

  1. How exactly do you put the bar down when you do power cleans?I usually push it forward a little and let it fall while I'm still hanging on to it, and I keep my back straight. Sometimes it hurts my deltoids a little. Am I supposed to just completely drop it from a standing position?
