Power Clean

67.5 kg (148.5lbs): 3,3,3,3,3

Squat

160 kg (352lbs): 5,5,5,5,5

Press

80 kg (176lbs): 5,5,5,5,5

Notes

  • Eating a lighter breakfast seem to make me less fatigue during the workout
  • Engaging in self-talk to hype myself up seems to work to get me through each set.  Especially squat.
  • Finally did 5x5 on press first try. Not sure if I can keep on making 2.5 kg jumps. Might be time to invest in fractional plates?

Dips

Body weight (~88.4 kg): 15,15,15

Notes

  • Felt fresh after the workout.
  • Squat - Feel easy unracking and walking with the weight. Still tough at the bottom.
  • Recording videos and reviewing them with a critical eye sure help. Can spot imperfections in technique.
  • Struggling with the weight seems a lot longer when performing compared to watching a video of you doing the exercise.
    • 1 sec feels like forever when the weight slows down or temporarily stuck.
  • Burping after workout taste like fish oil...
  • Wore 2 shirts - tight undershirt and normal t-shirt. I can't remember where I read about it, but wearing 2 shirts seem to keep the bar in place while squatting. Time to buy more tight undershirts! Black of course.

Notes

Chipped tooth during push press attempt...dammit. And I think it's partially dislodged too!

Happened when I was warming up for the press. Never done push press before so I figured it would be safest to do them with a lighter weight just to try them out. Went down and pushed with my legs...some how the bar nicked my chin causing my lower front tooth to jam into my top front tooth.

It's barely noticeable, but still.
