Full body: Heavy weight

The Speal. 5' 4" of monster athlete. Rather like myself.
Front squats (a2g)
75 x 10
105 x 5
115 x 3
130 x 3
140 x 3
150 x 3
160 x 2

In hindsight I'm a little pissed at myself for not trying and failing (if necessary) with the third rep at 160lb. As you can see in the video, I was slow coming up in the second rep, thought about going again, but ended up racking the bar. At that point, I had nothing to lose by attempting the third. Oh well...



======

Bent over rows - 5, 5, 5, 5, 5
95, 105, 115, 120, 125 (4)

My form is a little shaky on some of the reps when the bar got heavy. My upper body is moving too much as I jerk the bar, rather than using a smooth motion to lift the bar to my chest. Still, I don't think I did too badly.



======

Bear complex: 1 power clean, 1 front squat, 1 push jerk, 1 back squat, 1 rack jerk
75, 85, 95 (failed the push jerk), 95, 100, 105 (failed the pj), 105 (failed the rack jerk)

By this point, I felt really knackered (my arms in particular). This was my last workout at the end of a heavy couple of weeks, so maybe there was just no more fuel left in the tank!
