A – Squat clean from blocks at knee – 6 singles, rest 3 min (4 @ 275, build for last 2)missed 285 2x, went to 280 and over pulled it but nailed it twice, was pissed and went back to 285 and missed it again.
All over the place this am. Played around with bigger jumps in my warm up and might not be the best plan for me but I know it’s good exposure to force this sometimes. Jumps were 215 – 245 – 275. I’m sure this affected my top end lifting a little today, probably more so mentally as a crutch than actual physical performance.
B – OHS @ 31X1 tempo, 4 sets of 4, rest 2-3 min
215 x 3, 225 struggled with tempo
At this point I accepted that this am was just not my day with the barbell.
C1 – BB landmine half moons x 5/direction, rest 90 sec
Done @ +20
C2 – Twisting GHD hip extensions x 4/side, rest 90 sec x 4 sets
Definitely felt way more comfortable here than I feel I had with any of the previous days, not that it was bad before, maybe just a better set up in machine, but just felt good
D – 15 unbroken toes to bar, rest as needed to get 4 unbroken sets with no loss of rhythm
Done x 5 sets
Was going to leave in my notes that 4 sets felt good and could have done another so I figured what the hell, not the best day with a barbell so let’s walk away with a positive and see if you can do another. 5th was good and rhythm felt the same except for having to kip and activate lats a little more from rep10ish to 15. Don’t think a 6th set would’ve had similar rhythm. Hard to pinpoint the limiter exactly, but I would probably say abdominal endurance in the bigger sets. Rest time was approximately 45, 1:15, 1:45, 2ish minutes
