Pulling

Power cleans, touch and go:
95 x 3
115 x 3
125 x 3
130 x 3
135 x 2
135 x 3
140 x 1
140 x 1

The last time I did this routine I got 3 reps at 135, but watching the videos, I'm particularly happy about the power I'm getting from my legs and hips, as shown by how often my feet leave the ground. After reviewing my first attempt at 135lb I felt that I'd given up too soon, so rested a couple of minutes and tried again. Sure enough, I completed all 3 reps. Similarly, it looks like I was pretty close to succeeding with the second rep at 140lb in my first attempt, so I tried again. However, by that point I think I'd reached my limit and the second try was worse than the first. Still, it was worthwhile giving it a go.
