Full body: Heavy weight


Felt a bit bleh, probably because the time change has screwed up my body clock, but I still did okay today.

Complex: 1 power clean + 3 front squats + 1 squat clean (starting within 10 seconds)
95, 115, 120, 125, 125, 130 (F on squat clean), 130, 135 (F on squat clean)

So I equaled my PR. I think if I didn't have a 10-second limit to do the squat clean I might have done better with the final rep. Perhaps with 30 seconds rest I could have completed it.

Sumo deadlifts
185 x 6
215 x 3
235 x 2
265 x 1
285 x 1
295 x 1
305 x 1
315 x 1
325 x 0 (lost my grip)
325 x 1
330 x 0

Last time I did these - with Paul - I used a close, overhand grip. Today I gripped a little wider so I could do a mixed grip to avoid using wrist straps. I was doing fine until the my first attempt at 325lb; I got the bar up and nearly straightened my back completely, then my right grip gave out on me and the bar dropped. I rested a bit, then went again, using an overhand grip with straps. This time I was successful, so I tried 330lb. The bar barely budged!
