150 x (F)2 (2:22:222) * Pull

* Notes:

- Found an opportunity to get in a very quick lift, so I decided clean again off the 12" block.  The workout wasn't half bad but once I get into the higher weights, I become the world's biggest pussy and lack enough balls to drop under the bar.  Shit is annoying!

* Notes:

- The use of Anderson front squats definitely made the 1 1/2 front squats a breeze!  155kg within the first three reps without a hitch.  Felt like a fucking champ!

117.5 x (2)2 (4:28:152)
120 x (2)2 (4:32:156)

* Notes:

- Decided to attack the cleans again and skip the scheduled snatch session.  Turned out pleasantly well, as I managed to make all my lifts without a single failure.  I moved at a fairly quick pace and waved back and forth 7 separate times -- ultimately ending at 135kg.  I'm pleased.

12" Block Power Clean:
107.5 x (2)5 (10:40:160)

* Notes:

- Felt very good initially but started to falter towards 132.5kg and up.  It took a lot of concentration to stay engaged with the weights.  After topping off at 145kg, I decided to drop down 20kg and wave back up in 2.5kg increments to get sufficient volume.  It worked out very well and I'm pleased with today's workout.

132.5 x (1)2 (2:33:342)
135 x (1)2 (2:35:344)

* Notes:

- It seems to take forever to get warmed up with the cleans.  I freaking hate them!  I only managed to get up to 140kg today, which is 15kg off my PR; however, all the cleans leading up to and after the misses at 142.5kg were exceptionally well executed - crisp, fluid, and commanding!  Just wish I could do that with 160kg!

115 x (2)6 (12:43:153)

* Notes:

- Blah and Piss.  Mental breakdown today resulted in a lackluster performance with the block cleans.  My brain just shut off at 135kg.  That should have been a relatively easy weight to clean but without the old "brain housing group" involved -- forget about it!
