4/4/18

I was excited to get into the gym this morning. Had been looking forward to testing some maxes for a while. Fun morning in the gym, albeit discouraging. I am really excited to get back to strength training after focusing so much on aerobic training/2018 Open. Hit 240# for snatch and 290# for C+J. This is roughly 97% of my 1 RM Snatch and 92% of my 1 RM C+J PRs. I should realistically be very happy with this given my improvements in other aspects of my fitness. I am really excited to continue toward working to being a better lifter, ultimately working toward doing a official USAW meet in November.

A.
20 Minutes to Establish:

1 RM Snatch

-185#, 215#, 225#, 240#, 250# (fail x 2) ... really upset about missing 250#... 240# felt extremely easy and solid. Realistically I can't expect to PR a random lift like this that I haven't been training toward... plus I've been cutting weight for a while. Considering those things, I should be very happy with how things went today.

B.
20 Minutes to Establish:

1 RM Clean and Jerk

-225#, 255#, 275#, 290# ... probably more here, just shut it down at 290#, but it went up very easily.
