Notes:
Grace is a really good benchmark for me because, from a mobility standpoint, the movements aren't challenging at all, and also because it goes quick.
It looks like yesterday's Grace time wasn't bad at all. My recorded PR for Grace was 5:58 though I seem to recall doing it once in like 4:30 or something like that. Bad on me for not recording that PR if that was indeed the case. Previously, in another journal entry a while back, I said that my goal was to record a sub-4:00 minute Grace. I think that's still a good goal to have. That's basically 8-8-8-6, doing each set on the minute. To do that, I need to make improvements in my power clean and my Push Press/Jerk. Push Press especially is lacking, probably due to weakness in the hips. Along with Push Press, it seems like Front Squats and Thrusters would do me the most good. The Front Squats should help the Power Cleans and the Thrusters should help the Push Press/Jerk. I think I can confidently predict that getting down to 258 or something like that will most likely get me under 6 minutes, and perhaps quite a bit more than that if I target some of these other movements. Getting under 235 will probably put me just under or just over 4:00 minutes, and getting down to 215-220 will likely get me right around 3:30. So really, the biggest thing is just getting the weight down. Not only will there be less of me to lift, but I'll simply move more efficiently and everything will work better.
I like that I'm recording stuff everyday and starting to get motivated again. I think I should be in a pretty good place by my 45th birthday on August 10th. Maybe I'll do Grace that day!
