Totally different

so mainsite rest day. no rest for the wicked though. the running wod's felt good the last couple of days so i figured i would hit some iron this am.
i missed the new style total last week while traveling so figured i would make it up.
need to work on some of these skills and figured this is as good a way as any. wanted to sort of set a benchmark for the clean and overhead squat as well.

treadmill warmup
1/4
3/4
kept it short. just to get the heart rate up and the blood flowing

strength warm up
3 rounds
10 dip
10 pull ups
10 air squats
same drill here. just wanted to get the blood flowing.

total.
cleans
these were full squat cleans
10x45
10x95
8x115
6x135
4x155
1x175 fail
1x165
couldn't get under the 175. should have tried it again after the 165 but i think i may have done a few to many reps leading up to this. live and learn. need faster elbows when the weight gets heavier.

overhead squat
threw this in next as i had to wait on a bench.
10x45
10x75
8x95
6x115
4x135
1x155 fail
lost the 155 while pushing it overhead. dropped the bar behind me and freaked me out a little. called it there as my confidence was shaken. i think i can easily get 155 but need to work my snatch balance to get the bar overhead. little bummed by this.

bench press
was running short on time here and was pretty well warm so moved through these fairly quickly
10x135
8x185
4x225
1x245
1x245
the second 245 was a little sluggish. had a spot but just to watch bar. dont think i would have gotten 255 today but i have it in me i'm sure.

all in all this was what i was looking for today. go heavy and see where the breaking point is. rumor has it we are getting a true powerlifting room at the gym. if so i will be focusing harder on some of these lifts.

chilly again today. supposedly big snow this weekend so expect shoveling repeats and snowblower 400m sets!

peace!
