For today:

Squatting and cleaning. (Sounds like a bowel issue)

Warmup and stretching, followed by:

Low bar squats:
135# x 5
150# x 5
150# x 5
150# x 5
150# x 5

150 seems light, but I'm learning to squat with the bar lower on my back for more efficient leverage, and I'm also recovering from this damn groin injury, so I'm slowly rebuilding it.

Then:

Power clean and jerk:
85# x 5
85# x 4
95# x 2
95# x 2

Light, but I'm just learning the moves. Love these cleans.

Saturday 5/9/09

For Today:

Benching Day:

Warm ups, stretching. Followed by:

Bench Press, 135# x 10
Do as many as I can for 4 sets.
x7
x6
x3

Followed by 1 attempt to hit 275#, failed.
1 attempt at 265#, nailed
1 attempt at 275#, failed again.

I mixed in sets on the groin abducter thingy. I pulled my groin about 9 weeks ago, and it's still in need of some rehab, I find that working the groin abducter thingy helps loosen it up and strengthen it. Hopefully.

I also ran a mile.

Friday. 5/08/09

For today:

Stretching, warm-ups

135# Deadlift x 5

Workout:

225# deadlift x 5
Burpees x 10

Five sets for time: 13:24

Attempted 300# twice, failed on both accounts. Bullshit. This workout has a crossfit moniker, can't recall what it is.
