This session was all over the place.
Backsquat:
60kg x3
70kg x3
80kg x3
80kg x3
90kg x1 (failed on 2nd)
80kg x3
80kg x1 (failed on 2nd)
My thinking behind the failures is that I've only just added the extra squat days into my program, I should begin to see the benefits of it soon, I hope. 80kg felt far lighter than it ever has before.
Clean and Jerk:
60kg 3 attempts, made all the cleans and missed all the jerks. I've been having issues with locking elbows out properly even at lower weights. My clean is feeling super strong but my split jerk simply sucks, it's causing a lot of pain in my shoulders.
Annoyed at my 7 missed attempts at 60kg (4 from last week) I decided to try squat jerking. And somehow I made 50kg and a really close attempt at 55kg (which is my max split jerk). And my elbows were perfectly locked out and no pain in my shoulders...
All in all it's been an okay week, made PRs in the snatch (35kg), front squat (80kg) and clean and squat jerk (50kg). Also managed to push press 50kg which was unexpected. Backsquat didn't see any PRs which is a bit annoying but I'm sure I'll make 90kg x2/3 next week,
