Wide grip cable lat pull downs
10 x 120
8 x 150
8 x 150
8 x 150
Clean and Press
5 x 135
1 x 185
1 x 155 with 3 presses after the clean
1 x 165 with 3 presses after the clean
1 x 175 with 3 presses after the clean
1 x 185
Bent over dumbell rows
2 sets of 8 at 80 pounds each arm.
Clean and press part took a while. I felt like working on the pressing because I fail there before I do the cleans. It's funny, I can push 175 up three times, but barely do 185 once.
Squats tommorow as a I start rotating squats and deads every Monday. This will give me two squat workouts per week at least every other week and allow max deads every other week.

3 x 275
1 x 315

Seated calf raises in between
Cybex ab crunch

Practicing the squats more than anything. Did go down deeper with 315 than ever before, so that's good. Partner is back, so I'm looking for spotting on bench tommorow, haven't maxed out in several weeks.

Snatch
5 x 95
3 x 115
3 x 135
1 x 155
Clean and Jerk
3 x 155
1 x 175
1 x 185
This looks funny, like we hardly did anything. But, Oly is hard! Takes my breath away even with small numbers of reps. I had done snatches before, maybe 4 different times when I was following Scrawny to Brawny. Will probably add them to this day, they're fun!
The workout was surprising good considering my company Christmas dinner / party was last night. I, uh, drank a lot.

I have squats tonight. Plan on good mornings and box squats. I'll try to channel Frank S. and maybe I'll get over 225!

Squat work
Good Mornings
6 x 135
6 x 135
6 x 135
Box squats - box real low- paused on box before coming up until 225, then reps were touch and go-
6 x 135
6 x 135
6 x 185
6 x 205
5 x 225
3 x 245
3 x 245
5 x 225
I'm happy with 245. I was really going low and I'm starting to feel a groove to this lift. Also, I may always keep a box in the rack even if I'm not pausing because I like to know when I've gone low enough.
Maybe after a while it'll be more automatic.

haha
I can squat more on a straight bar, cambered bar is just so comfy
nice work on the box squats. they are great. I perfer them with a big pause at the bottom (i sometimes take my feel right off the ground when im on the box). big box squat = big squat, always.

Today's usually clean and press, but I still have DOMS from Deads on Sunday and I have a beef tenderloin to grill tonight 'cause the in-laws are in town. So, I'll skip and get back on schedule tomorrow.
This is as good a place as any to post my New Year's Resolution. It is 300/400/500 in the big three.
