Pull Up:

* Notes:

- Putting some practical use of the information I've been reading in the book "Gift of Injury" and focusing a lot on bracing my back for each squat.  Additionally, I've been learning to better utilize "the wedge" to get myself positioned properly for the squat, thereby, affording my quads and glutes to focus on the task at hand.  It definitely makes a difference.

* Notes:

- I feel like hell.  My legs feel like they have been injected with peanut butter.  As such, I was having a hard time getting into a deep squat position, which turned most of my hang snatches into power movements.  Not to mention, the ungodly amount of bloat that I'm experiencing from yesterday's carbnite didn't help matters at all.  I'm a freaking pig!

2018FEB22 (REST)

Rest:

- I'm feeling a bit battered, so I decided to take a day off.  A day of heavier than normal clean pulls followed by a session of heavy back squats has rendered me completely useless and unwilling to train.  I'll return to the platform tomorrow morning.

* Notes:

- I was extremely sluggish today after yesterday's power clean + push jerk workout, along with the clean pulls up to 145kg.  My nervous system was a little fried this morning and it was evident with the back squats.  Normally, 160kg-170kg has been moving fairly well, but today I was moving in slow motion -- a little too much grinding than I'd prefer.

* Notes:

-  It took a lot of self discipline and restraint to not push past 130kg this morning, with the front squats.  They felt easy, but I had to keep reminding myself that I'm in a "deload" week and to back off from going too heavy.  Plus, I was a bit apprehensive about my quad getting strained again, so I took it easy today and ended with a top weight of 130kg for a triple.

138 x (M)4


130kg Clean + Push Jerk

* Notes:

- I'm up 14kg from the same workout from Cycle 4; however, I'm very displeased with my performance today.  After missing twice with 105kg in the snatch and waving back up, I stopped at 110kg because I wanted to get at least 137-140kg with the clean and jerk, but I couldn't secure the bar onto my shoulders to save my life.  It was not only frustrating but agonizing because it felt like I could easily stand the weight up and the push jerk felt so easy for me.  Damn this sport!

- I was a little apprehensive about going heavy today because of my quad strain from a few days ago, but I somehow managed to get up to 180kg (albeit, with some effort).  Regardless, it's a big milestone before going into a deload next week.  Tomorrow, I plan on doing a few front squats to keep the legs active before attacking the snatch and clean and jerk on Sunday.

Rest:

- I woke up with a pretty gnarly head/chest cold this morning.  It's been brewing for a few days now but today I awoke feeling like a bag of rubber dicks.  So I'm taking a day off from the training madness.
