10/9/12

I was super pissed today because my left elbow is acting up. The tricep muscle no longer hurts and I can rack the bar, but I cannot overhead press without pain in the elbow joint itself. Not good. I had to heavily modify the lifting, cutting out the jerks and pressing. But I ended up feeling great on the lifting and metcon I was able to do.

Strict Pull-ups - 4 ME Sets, alternating grips (over/under) @ 60 seconds rest  - 17, 12, 11, 10

EMOM for 20 minutes:
5 minutes: High Hang Squat Clean (245#)
5 Minutes: High Hang Squat Clean (265#)
5 Minutes: Squat Clean from Floor (275#)
5 Minutes: Squat Clean from Floor (295#) - failed on the 5th attempt, only 4 reps

-I was extremely happy to hit 295 4 minutes in a row considering my 1 RM is 300#. I will PR my clean for sure next time I lift. I'm stoked how strong I felt on these.

Back Squat:
135# x 10, 225# x 5, 275# x 5
then...

1 x 5 @ 75% (300#)
1 x 3 @ 80% (320#)
3 x 3 @ 85% (340#)

Rest 10 minutes then...

15 Minute AMRAP:
4 HSPU
9 Toes-to-Bar
250m Row

6 Rounds + 9 T2B. Solid metcon. These are the best my HSPU have ever felt. Almost all the sets were unbroken. My T2B felt great. Solid session in the gym. I'm still really upset about my elbow though.
