Monday: 12/15/08 - Week 5
Squat:
255x5
255x5
260x5

Military Press:
115x5
115x5
115x5

Powerclean:
170x3
170x3

I just can't get powercleans down to good form. I stopped at the 2nd set. I'm gonna replace them with pendlay rows from now on, but still do powercleans at a much lighter weight to work on form.

Pendlay Row:
165x5

Only one set since I did 2 sets of powercleans.

Overall though, this workout was really really good. I couldn't believe how easy squats were to me today. The 1st set of 255 was a breeze. Most importantly of all I'm finally back up to 260lbs. When I do all 3 sets for 5 reps Wednesday at 260lbs, I'll have set a new PR for myself! I only did 2 sets of 5 at 260lbs last time I attempted a year and a half ago.
