Full body

I'm still pretty jetlagged, but I was aching to get back in the gym, even if it was only for a short workout.

Squat cleans:
95 x 5 reps
115 x 5
125 x 5
130 x 1, 1, 0, 1, 0
130 x 5
135 x 1, 0
135 x 1, 1, 0

I didn't feel like I had much power today - understandably - which accounts for my poor squat cleans at the heavier weights. Ordinarily, I'd be pissed at myself for not hitting the same number of reps as as when I did this routine in the past. However, today was just an excuse to get back to doing some real lifting that didn't require any machines.

The next routine went better.

Trap bar deadlifts:
170 x 10
220 x 5
260 x 3
280 x 1
310 x 1
330 x 1
340 x 1 (PR)
345 x 0

It's been several months since I've done trap bar deadlifts, as the frame was being repaired. This is only a 5lb PR, but given the circumstances I'm quite pleased with it. Looking at the video, I probably shouldn't have attempted an extra 5lb after the PR; even though I lifted 340lb, it's clear that my form is deteriorating and my back is starting to bow.
