Pulling

It's been a long time since I did a pure pulling day. This felt good.

Hang power snatches 5, 5, 5, 5, 5
65, 70, 75, 80, 80 (4)

In the fourth set, I resorted to pressing out a bit with reps 4 and 5, and I'm really trying not to rely on that at all when getting the weight overhead. My last set was much better, but I dropped a rep. I used the 25lb straight curl bar, rather than my usual 45lb longer bar (of course, making up the weight with plates). I think that definitely helped with my stability, and there wasn't so much staggering around when I got the weight up, which I think was due to the width of the bar and weight outside my grip.

Dumbbell row 5, 5, 5, 5, 5 per arm
70s, 75s, 80s, 85s, 90 (4)

I haven't done dumbbell rows since November 2011, at which time I PRed at 85lb. No twisting around in order to move the weight, though; just good rowing movement.

======

Purple resistance band chin-ups, max reps
4, 4, 3, 3, 3

12-10-8-6-4-2 reps for time:
Hang cleans @ 95lb
Inverted rows
Time = 9:07
