Farts!

today was day uno of my uno's - day 1 of singles in my main lifts. Power cleans and benching was the topic of the day and one went well and one went hilariously aweful.

As previously posted I warmed up properly first starting with some smr on the foam roller and then led into some hip/t-spine mobility. I stretched a little bit and did some p.chain/glute activation and began with some light warm-up sets on power cleans.

complexes x 2 154 x 3 198 x 1 218 x 1 230 x 1
p.clean 5x1 @ 242 (95%)
set 1 - miss
set 2 - good
set 3 - good
set 4 - miss
set 5 - miss
extra set 6 - m...i...s...s
extra set 7 - MISS! Hopefully with troys help I'll load the video

Here is why I take these many many misses light heartedly. A. I successfully completed the task, twice. B. I left it all on the table - so I have no regrets. As the video will hopefully show I fought my last rep for a good 3.5-4 seconds. The pull was decent, catch was okay, I just couldn't muster it up. I was mad that I wasn't getting my 4th and 5th and 6th attempt but once I dropped my 7th set I wasn't mad at all. I laughed. I fought it, and this week, it won. Until another Mr.Red-Blue, we shall meet again!

Bench was great. 255 for 5x1.

All my sets felt good, controlled, good pause at the bottom, fast on the way up, no sticking points. Bench is feeling strong right now...said that its 10# heavier than my power clean but it just means I need to focus and I know where I need to build my strengths in - while continuing to build my bench.

Just watch Fight Club...dang broke the first and second rule - I'm out.
