The cleans are a fun lift and I think this is a PR for me. I'm definitely stronger than the last time I did these. Also, it seems the timing of the lift varies from the ligher weights.

I went back to the narrower grip on the push press, and it definitely helped out.

The wide stance gm's really cook my inner thighs.

I mislabeled the video, it's 215 on the cleans.

No work past the initial due to TRAC. I should be able to get some good rest tonight.

The squats were fun and a struggle. I made some strange noises during the reps. It seems as the weight gets heavier I'm leaning over a bit more.

Had a much easier time with 165 this time around on the press, and used a narrower grip than last time.

Deadlifts are really looking up strength wise. Should I be concerned with the amount my back is rounding?

Floor press speed really died on 250 compared to 225.

GPP

Went to no gi BJJ. We practiced a calf crusher from the turtle position.

Also, did a submission from de la riva guard. You pressure the leg between your legs, get under the other leg, roll onto your shoulder and and grab the leg you are attacking.

Had three matches and each was about 5-7 minutes long.

Bench is feeling stronger and 240 is a personal best for a triple at a 9 for me.

Cleans were a disaster as I hurt my wrist, and I'm lucky it isn't broken. I don't get my arms around fast enough and I bear the weight on my wrists. Oh well, I think I'll concentrate on powerlifting for awhile then.

My goal is to total at least 1250 for my first meet. I'm shooting for 1300 with just a belt. I'm thinking of going ironman or maybe raw. I want to compete drug free, but I think my only option is ironman at that point.

Wrist was still bothering me considerably and it didn't allow me to stay tight with my upper back. Plus, I just wasn't feeling it with the pain. So I cut it after the squats.

Ouch on the wrist. Now I know what to attack Friday night

Eduardo Chile · 03-23-2011, 04:50 AM

I'm really finding I have to use a lot of back strength on the squats. I feel I can handle the weight if I don't lean forward. I think I need to really focus on beefing up the upper back with the Neglected muscle work.

I lacked motivation on the other lifts since they really aggrevated my wrist, but I got through it.

Felt much stronger on the 3 ct pause deadlifts. These were an easy 9. I feel my back didn't really move out of my starting position.

The 1/2 board bench was not a PR and this is due to learning my new foot position. I have to work on keeping my feet flat. I took a side angle as well to see if my butt comes off the bench.
