This is my last attempt to run through the Hatch cycle, I will try a new max in week 11 and intend to skip week 12. I will use the texas method for push presses, goal is respectable single well over 100 kg. Other than that it is light technique work for the olympic lifts. This will keep me busy till christmas; the cycle is based on ultra optimistic estimates 160/140.

No time for more. I am a little sick and decided to try this session anyway. I had to take a short break (50-60 sec) after rep 3 with 136 kg and 116 kg, more to make sure that I don't train till failure and I really was knackered before the session so I guess it's okay.
