Power Clean

  • 77.5 kg (170.5lbs): 3,3,3,3,3

Squat

  • 172.5kg (379.5lbs): 3,3,3,3,3

Bench Press

  • 122.5 kg (269.5lbs): 3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3

Notes

  • Decided to try out 3 reps instead of 5, and add more sets so the total volume almost the same.
  • Bench press felt easy at 8x3. I wonder if I can do 5x5 at this weight?

  • Form on the power cleans felt sloppy, but it got up anyway.
  • Got a little too greedy going for a new PR press. So greedy I tired myself out and missed a person record! Had to settle for 92.5 kg (203.5lbs) for 2 sets of 2 reps.
  • Didn't feel 100% today...Lacking the aggressive energy that I usually have on PR Fridays :/
