Full body

Hang power cleans @ 125
4, 4, 4, 4, 4 = 20

Even though I got 4 reps in all 5 sets, this still felt like a bit of a struggle. I don't think it was a problem with strength or power, but my grip felt a bit weak at times. It didn't affect the next routine, but I certainly felt it then, too.

======

Superset - front squats/back squats:
115 - 3 & 3
135 - 3 & 3
145 - 3 & 3
155 - 3 & 3
160 - 3 & 3
165 - 2 & 3

It's been a few months since I did this routine, and I made a slight improvement. Last time, I only hit 2 reps for the front squats at 160lb; this time I got all 3, plus I went on to 2 front squats at 165lb. I used a conventional grip for all the front squats, making those 2 reps at 165lb the heaviest I've ever gone with the correct grip. However, looking at the video it's clear I didn't get a consistent depth on all my heavier squats. Not too bad, though.


======

Split jerk:
65 (5), 75 (3), 85 (3), 95 (3), 95 (3), 95 (3)

I would have liked to do another couple of sets at 95lb, or even gone heavier, but I ran out of time as I had to take Madi for a scheduled eye test. Jeez - real life!
