A. All done except for MU – I was at home and work gym today with no rings for MU. B. 85# C. 90#, then 95#. – For these, I have to Muscle Clean… My leg isn’t strong enough to drop “under” it quickly yet. Should I stay doing Muscle Cleans or drop the weight?? Was pressed for time tonight – late night wkout after the kids went to bed. Got a quick wkout in at lunch at the Embassy gym – I was able to run today for the first time since January – 5 min on the treadmill… Read more »

A – Crazy how something simple like leg swings help so much. Was able to almost catch in full locked out position without passing thru the dip on MUs. Now I need to focus on my HS walks. Neglected this for a good year. B – 6×4 @225. C – Hang clean sets at 170/175/180. Cleans to 215 but ran out of gas sooner than I thought I would. Pulls off riser at 250. D – sled at 135/180/135 (it was raining outside – no fun). Wow that bamboo walk thing was a dumpster fire. Holy cow. Did 44# KBs… Read more »
