Week 6!
Weight 244.5 (-1)
It's almost officially a 'routine' now, hard to think about how far I've come even in 6 weeks and where I'll be in 46 more at the 1 year mark.
This week our gym's focus is on 'max reps'. Apparently 12 weeks ago they started a strength focused segment and are finishing that up so they are re-base-lining everyone on their core lifts.
This actually is an awesome thing for me because up until today (and later this week) I've just been making up workouts. When they say 'do 60%' of something I have no idea what my 100% is so I just do something that I think is doable. I actually think this may make my workouts harder as I have concrete #s but we'll see.
Today's Max Lifts
Snatch: 105#
Clean and Jerk: 135# Tried 145 and could have pressed it I think but couldn't get it 'cleaned'. Need to work on this.
Overhead Squat: 110#. Tried heavier but couldn't keep my elbows locked on the assent.
Overall I was really thrilled. I was able to 'out do' some of the people in the gym which was a huge win for me because I've been working on the premise that I'm the slowest and weakest person in there and that might not be the case. I was pretty happy with today.
Not sure what
