Wednesday - Clean and Jerk. Week 1 Cycle 5 | Hill Sprints #27

I really need to get a new camera angle. This is not flattering. 

Today begins cycle number five. I'm totally pleased with how today's session went. I got the exact numbers I wanted and also increased the intensity of my assistance work (added weight to the chin ups). This time last cycle I lifted 185lbs for 10. Today had me lifting 190lbs for my final set, and I really wanted to get 10 reps like last month. A 5lb jump may not seem like a lot, but, for me, all increments on pressing exercises (especially anything overhead) makes a noticeable difference so I'm happy with the progress.

Goals for today:

145x5
170x5
190x5

Lifted:

145x5
170x5
190x10

Assistance work:  
  • 5 sets of weighted chin ups (+25lbs): 10reps, 10, 8, 6, 6. 
  • 5 sets of weighted dips (+45lbs): 10 reps all 5 sets.
