6/21/12 BIG Strength Day

Today was a huge focus on strength. We had no met-cons, no on the minute stuff, just lifting heavy weight. These are usually my favorite days, but now I want to work on stuff I am bad at (sounds crazy, but I may actually want to go run a mile or something).

Snatch- Low Hang- 10x1
I felt very good on this today and did not fail at any reps. I worked up to 215 on my last set. If you recall, that was my max last week. So far at Eternal, I have gone up 25 pounds on this lift, in about 3 weeks. My goal is to hit 250 by the end of July.

Squat- 6x3
385, 385, 395, 395, 405,415(2)
I started out not feeling the squat today, but after a minor coaching tip and stance change, I felt better. I had my feet too wide apart which hindered my ability to track my knees outside of my toes. I narrowed my base, and it fixed a lot of the minor flaws and problems I was experiencing.

Strict Press- 5x3
135, 155, 165, 170, 180

I HATE press. I really don't like doing anything holding weight overhead, because my shoulders are too tight which makes it hard for me. I did OK at this, it just hurts. My last rep at 180 may have been a slight push press, but not huge.
