8/18/15

Today was a rough time in the gym ... shoulders felt like complete ass. I didn't eat for over an hour after training yesterday and only slept 6 hours last night ... I didn't feel recovered at all. Jerking felt absolutely terrible ... did some heavy-ish cleans, atleast the most heavy I've done in a while with no pain today. Being injured sucks ... have lost of of strength, but just tried to get what I could out of today.

A.
6 Sets of:
2 Power Cleans + 1 Jerk @ 70-85% (225-280#) of 1 RM Clean
Rest as needed 

-225#, 225#, 235#, 245#, 255# (failed jerk), 255# (failed jerk) ... just nothing there in my shoulders. This is really frustrating given that basically up until the bar exam I was hitting 275-285# every week consistently. Overhead mobility felt like ass today and I felt like I had no speed on my dip.

B.
Every 90 seconds for 9 minutes (6 sets) of:
Split Jerk x 1 rep @ 70% (225#)

straight into...

Every 90 for 9 minutes (6 sets) of:
Push-Press x 3 reps @ 65% (195#) of 1 RM Jerk

-Added this in on the spot given how terribly part A went ... wanted to accumulate some reps at lower percentages.

C.
7 RFT, with a 25# vest:
400m Run 
21 Stationary Lunges
15 Push-ups
9 Burpees

-34:36 ... this was a variation of a main-site workout. I've been getting some bad golfer's elbow in both of my forearms ... so I modified the pull-ups into push-ups. This was a fun workout once I got moving. I haven't done a workout in a weight vest in a very long time ... it's something I really like to do and wish I did more often. Enjoyed the last part of today more than the lifting, was fun to just grind through the workout under the weight of the vest.
