Pulling

Power cleans (resetting)
95 x 3
115 x 3
125 x 3
130 x 3
135 x 3
140 x 2
140 x 2

I usually opt for t&g power cleans, but my technique has been a bit shitty the past few times. I think this was in part to trying to move too quickly without focusing on my form. Therefore, I allowed myself to reset after each rep today, so that I was able to concentrate on each rep, rather than trying to get through each set as quickly and fluidly as possible. That makes this a slightly different type of exercise, but it's worth it if it forces me to concentrate on my form.


======

Chin-ups, weighted - 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3 (strict)
35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60 (2)


======

Cable rows - 5 x max reps @ 150lb
5, 5, 5, 5, 5

My form during the later sets was better than the early ones, as I leaned back less.

According to this, I think I'm somewhere between
15% and 20%. 3% looks like a bloody reptile.
I had to postpone my usual training time because of a busy morning. I was less busy this afternoon, so I managed to fit in a quick session (thankfully, just before the jocks started arriving).

Chin-ups, weighted - 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3

How I felt this morning.
My arms felt a bit knackered today, plus the gym was pretty humid. On top of that, I felt really old this morning, as it was Madi's first day in Grade 3. GRADE-BLOODY-THREE!? Jesus - where did the years go?

Power snatches (from the ground)
65 x 3
75 x 3
80 x 3
85 x 3
90 x 3
95 x 2

Bit of a press out on the last two sets.

======

Chin ups (weighted)

95 x 6
105 x 5
115 x 5
120 x 4
125 x 3

I attempted a fourth rep at 125lb, but couldn't move the bar. This was because of lack of strength, rather than any problem with my wrist.

======

Wide cable rows
70 x 10
90 x 10
100 x 10
110 x 10
115 x 8

At the end of the 6-rep round, I dropped the bar on my head instead of in front of me. Ouch!
