Good squatting.

THank you gentleman giant.

+1, although it will probably send me into a DT-like tailspin from which there is no escape other than yoga, gay music, and utilizing Yugo as my spirit guide (I'd guess he'd be a slug, because they have no chin, enjoy thinking about things under trees, and are probably terrible at squatting and driving in the snow).

Thanks dude. Yoga and stretching have been important to my gains lately imo. You should try it.

Squats felt pretty heavy in general, so I just hit a top single and called it a day.

Do anything specific in yoga or just random classes/videos?

Way ahead of you then, although I've only done energy

Clean
up to 295, 305,315, 330x

315 was nice so I made a big jump for PR attempt. 330 was a super slow pull to the hips and that messed up my timing a bit, but I think the pull is there.

Wow you totally had it. Next time, tiger

FB,
Jerk > clean?

Yup. I hit 335# off the rack back in like March 2014, but I've hit 330# a couple times recently off blocks.

Next time don't miss 150.

3 Position Snatch

The final snatch is from Position 1 and I almost missed it. Decided to leave out the other power snatch...

Tie PR PS. Had some right elbow trouble on both of these but no video. Strange for it to be the right side? Oh well, keep on grinding.

Going to start (RPEing) my squats. Wow, today was rough squatting.

Sotts Press
up to 5x95

These are mandatory now on snatching days.

Row
5x30s row, 30s rest = 806m

Did these with some CFers, so went a little harder than I normally would and tried to stay over 150m/interval. The final distance includes the distance it kept going once I started rest.

Power Clean + Clean + Front Squat (Blocks Above Knee)

Almost failed power clean on 120, so I decided to drop that from the complex and go a little heavier.

OHP
up to 85, 7x65

Could've got 1-2 more, but left it in the tank.

------
Felt pretty beat up today and decided to not do any "heavy" squats and I thought doing a complex is an efficient use of my time. This really is the essence of lifting every day. Probably going to take it easy today and get in/get out, but that depends on how the weights feel once I get in there.

Sidenote: Youtube's Remove Song process does the exact opposite of what it's supposed to, so hopefully my videos don't get pulled.

Oops, quoted then didn't reply. Thanks man. The conditioning is pretty easy, you havin a laugh?

In light of your move to the 105s - yes it is indeed a joke

~150/rd is what I've been averaging as well. It's pretty rough but I'm liking it

I should probably start counting calories sometime, but that's not fun and I'm not good at estimating what my GF cooks. If I weren't getting meals made for me all the time I might not have put on all this weight. Regardless, I'm dropping eating out for the near future.

It's not bad but I'm not a tall so it's tiring.

Back was a little meh from DL the day before and I felt tired. 275 went up very easy, but I have no idea why I failed 285 and wish I got it on video.

Hang Clean Above Knee
245,255,265,275,285,295x

Top lelz at hitting 285 from hang easily. I should've hit 295 but some people were talking to me and my rest was too long, which led me to being slow under the bar.

Wanted to do some front squats but all the racks were in use by people doing BTN Press. I did some rings work (top position holds, ring dips, pullups) but I didn't pay much attention to how many reps/sets.
