10/5/12 - Training + Test

Friday
AM
A. Squat clean from high blocks 1, 1, 1, 1, 1; rest 2 min
275,285,295,295,305
Never cleaned from high blocks like this. Loved it. I feel like this part of my pull is my biggest weakness. Felt I could have gone heavier but didn't want to end up maxing out.

B1. Close grip bench press 6, 4, 2, 6; rest 2 min
225, 245, 275, 235
These weights were perfect. Pressing felt good. 

B2. Bent over barbell rows 5, 5, 5, 5; rest 2 min
185, 195, 205, 215
Felt good.

C. 1 1/4 front squat 3, 2, 1, 3, 2, 1; rest 2 min
265, 285, 315, 275 (did 5 by accident? For some reason I had set of 6 in my head), 315, 325
These were really tough. Very akward. Watching the video, I hate my positioning in the front squat. I would like to get my shins a little more perpendicular.

Felt fantastic. Row was much stronger this time as well as more aggressive transitions between movements.
Averaged a 1:40/500m pace. Felt strong. Also felt fine when I was finished. Last time I was wrecked. Felt like I could have rested 10 min. and done it again. Feeling good.
