I'm only adding this, so that when I look back in a month, two, a year, etc. I know my mental state. I know it's not helping anything, I just need to find a way out of this rut, pull myself up by the bootstraps and move on. That being said, here's the last couple of days:
Friday: Bench press 10-8-6-4-2
10-115, 8-120, 6-125, 4-130, 2-140. Tried 145 for 2, only got 1. Tried 155 to match the PR, failure. Did a set of negatives. Not much to say here - unimpressive.
Monday: - 3 front squats - 115/145/165x2
3 shoulder presses 95/105/
I thought I did ok these until I saw what I did last time, where I got 1 at 175 on the front squats and 2 at 110. This was back in April. That was a bit depressing.
Tuesday: "Heavy Helen"
200 meter run
15 Kettlebell swings (24 kg)
9 weighted pullups (25 lbs)
3 rounds for time
Huh. Looking at this just now, I did it wrong and have been doing it wrong. I swear it was 15/12/9 of the Kettlebell swings and pullups - which is how I did it. I did the pullups in a red and mini band, dead hang. Most got over the bar, mostly. I finished it, doing it my way - in 15:30 - a full 6 minutes more than last time, but last time I was kipping the pullups.
Today:
Power cleans from the hang: 3-3-3 85/95/100
Power cleans from the floor: 3-3-3 100/110/115
Full oly cleans: 3-3-3 95/105/115
About the same as last time. I think the hang cleans may have been 5 lbs heavier. Nothing fabulous. Yes, I know form wise they look better....that's about all I can say.
We need to come up with a strategy...
