Squats 2 set 195×3

Cleans 2 sets 115×3

Lots of warmup sets ahead of these.

First round of workouts

Made it through my first 4 day sequence of workouts. Recovery has been pretty fast from my first workout. The workouts are short and to the point. I have not been making it through all the conditioning pieces, but that will come. Do enjoy doing some heavier lifts.

Depending on the timing, I’ll do legs today, and see if I can work the squat up to either 195×3, or 205×3. Hang power cleans, maybe up to 135×3. Will see how it goes.

Knee is bugging me again (started before I made the switch). Came about the last time I was at Orange and running. I did a short run yesterday (maybe a mile or so), and it started early on in the run. I’m gonna keep rolling, and hopefully that will work it out.

2 weeks of BB, now other stuff

So I did 2-3 weeks of Body Beast, and found myself wanting to lift some heavier weights/less volume. So I’m switching for now back to the plan I had put in the blog a few months ago.

Yesterday was lower body.

Started off with some Goblet squats for warmup.

3x Hang Power Cleans Working up to 3×105. Still felt pretty light.

Then I did a back squat, quickly working up to 3×185. I should be able to keep moving that up for a little while, then play with some different loadings (up to at least 3×225).

I did ab wheel, and some other ab work. Some sets up push ups, some foam rolling, and some KB cleans from the floor (not in that order).

It felt good to move some heavier weights… something more than 50 pounds dumbells.

Think this workout will actually get me some more conditioning time in.
