110kg Snatch

Reverse Hyper (Strap) + Standing Plate Cuban Curl:
((110 x 15) + (1.25 x 15))3

* Notes:

- The classic lifts haven't sparked much interest in me lately, because the front squats have taken priority and they tax my motivation to perform the classic lifts.  Today was no exception, because I really didn't feel like doing any snatches today, but I somehow managed to snatch up to 110kg, which is pretty good considering the fact that I haven't been consistent with setting aside enough time to perform them.  I suppose it's like riding a bike.

137.5kg Front Squat

* Notes:

- This was quite possibly one of the longest workouts in a long time.  After doing all the bench, dips, and accessory work, I wasn't all to thrilled to push into getting my front squats done.  I seriously considered doing them later but fought my laziness and went ahead and knocked them out.  Nothing crazy, just to the minimum of 137.5kg was enough for today.

((40 x 6) + (110 x 10))1

* Notes:

- I'm feeling slightly sluggish this morning.  It was a late night spent at the Meade County Fair with the family, so I was running very late in getting up and making it into the garage to lift.

137.5kg Front Squat

* Notes:

- I spent over 4 hours in the car driving out to Lexington, KY to coach an athlete, stood around for 4 hours while coaching, returned home to get my squats done -- so 137.5kg was a gift!  Surprisingly, the top set of 137.5kg went up without too much effort.

Seated Wrist Curl:
20 x 25
22.5 x 25
25 x 25
27.5 x 25

* Notes:

- This is the second half of today's training session.  I felt pretty damn amazing this afternoon, and even attempted (yet failed) 170kg, which I probably should have made but I was overly concerned about a couple wasps that were flying around the garage while I was lifting.  Plus, I should have made an attempt at 160kg before trying a 30kg jump.  Lesson learned -- keep the garage door closed, and be conservative (and reasonable/realistic) with the increases.

120 x (1)3 (3:6:55)


140kg Front Squat

Reverse Hyper (Strap) + Power Clean + Push Jerk:
((110 x 10) + (50 x (1+1)))3

* Notes:

- I'm still aimlessly trying to figure out what I'm attempting to do after the squats.  I had the best intentions of getting some back squats done today, but after reaching 82.5kg -- the movement felt "off" and the spidey-senses told me a low back injury was imminent, so I switched back to front squats; which by the way, weren't easy at all.  Today was a grind to say the least.  I'm losing some core tension at the lower portion of the squat that's causing me some concerns, so making a successful lift at 140kg was a gift.

- Feeling a little run down today but somehow managed to front squat 137.5kg with a brief pause at the bottom.  Not bad considering I feel like shit.

105kg Snatch

Reverse Hyper (Strap) + Quad Temper:
((110 x 10) + (Pin x 2min))3

* Notes:

- I was hoping to have another PR-ish power snatch workout, but that never developed.  Instead, I had to walk away with a less than technically proficient 105kg snatch.  I guess you can't win them all.

170kg Back Squat

Reverse Hyper (Strap) + Standing Band Face Pull:
((110 x 10) + (Green x 10))3

* Notes:

- I decided to change things up a little with the squat everyday routine.  I'm incorporating back squats every other day to give myself some variety and hopefully add some new stimulus to the legs.

* Notes:

- More playing around than anything serious.  The front squats went fairly well; although, I didn't really push for higher numbers.  I had 132.5kg in mind and figured that was enough considering the wonkiness of my low back from the past few days.

60kg No Contact Fat Grips Snatch

* Notes:

-  Front squats went fairly well today topping off at 140kg.  Clean and push jerks were an abortion and I only could successfully lift 110kg.  The 110kg was technically a train wreck and I'm surprised I was able to lift it, because I didn't even move my feet in the clean and the jerk was -- shit!

Axle Reverse Curl + Hanging Rolling Thunder:
((15 x 10) + (bw x 5c))3

Axle French Curl + Hanging Rolling Thunder:
((15 x 10) + (bw x 5x))3

* Notes:

- I'm not entirely sure what's going on but my legs feel like complete hell lately.  It may have something to do with my tender and fickle low back pain, but my quads feel like they have shards of glass embedded in them.  Getting to a point of feeling smooth with the front squats is taking longer and longer.  For this reason, I did 8 total singles with 20kg to help try and grease the groove to allow my legs some time to start firing correctly.  It only helped slightly.  Regardless, another day is done and I'm sitting at day 34 with a fairly comfortable (not easy) 130kg front squat.

* Notes:

- My low back is slowly starting to feel better; hence, the top set at 130kg.  Although, at 110kg, it started to act up again.  130kg was a gift.

130kg Front Squat

* Notes:

- This was the last front squat workout to met my goal of 30 days of squatting everyday.  It took a lot of discipline to get this done, because it was after a 7 hour car drive back from Columbia, MO, and it was at 11:30 p.m.

275lbs (125kg) Front Squat

* Notes:

- I'm back on the road again -- house hunting, so I stopped by CrossFit Fringe, located in Columbia, MO, and they were kind enough to allow me to get a front squat workout in without cost.  I got today's session done in less than 30 minutes -- record time -- due to having an appointment with my realtor.  My low back is still very wonky and tender, especially after sleeping on a less than firm bed last night.  Regardless, I got my squats done!

* Notes:

- I've managed to strain my low back today.  As such, I decided to drop down to 130kg for my final front squat, instead of the 137.5kg which I had indented to end with.  Fuck!

* Notes:

- I played a little neurological trickery today by doing some front rack holds before attempting a front squat.  I used 20kg more during the rack holds and it worked like a charm.  Walking out 20kg less to make a front squat attempt made the weights seem significantly easier -- like I was doing a down set.  I'll use this method again in the near future.

* Notes:

- What a nightmare!  Missed lifts with the muscle snatch and the no contact snatches were abysmal as well.  I tossed 70kg to the front on the first attempt, then to the back (something I rarely ever do) with the second attempt.  Yikes!
