8.8.2012 - Press, Hang Cleans + Metcons

Time to start journaling again. I suppose I'll have to start weighing myself again as well. Not looking forward to that, but no getting around it. 

Strength:
Press
5 reps at 95
3 reps at 115
1 rep at 125


Very, very weak in the press. I should note that pushups have been weak lately too. On the press, I maxed out at 155 a couple of months ago and I feel like I've been weak ever since. Overall upper body strength doesn't seem like it's been good at all. Burpees especially have been tougher than usual. It's like there's no strength in my arms to push off the ground. I almost wonder if I have some sort of injury.

Power Cleans (hang)
4 X 5 at 135 

These felt really good. My hook grip was strong for the first 2 sets but not as much in the last two. The cleans felt really strong though and the bar was just flying up, so that's good. 


Metcon:
10 Rounds, 1 minute each
20 seconds of Deadlifts (#205)
20 seconds of V-Ups
20 seconds rest

56 Deadlifts
54 V-Ups

Food:
Eggs, 3
Bacon, 4 slices
Sausage, 1
Red Bull, sugarless
Skirt Steak Burrito
Coffee, 1 cup
Corn Chips
Salad - Gyro meat, lettuce, cucumber, red onion, olives, banana peppers, feta cheese, feta dressing, olive oil
Apple
Cheese
2 pieces of pastrami
