Turning tides??

 Here are the highlights of the last week - in amongst the various bench, deadlift, and squats at various weights for 3-5 reps.  I think I may be slowly coming out of my almost yearlong PR rut.  I could be wrong, but there have been some little improvements.
For instance we did:
Overhead Press - 1/1/1, Push Press 3/3/3, Push Jerk 5/5/5
Overhead Press - 110, 115, 120 ,  no change in max weight

Push Press - 125, 135, 145x2, there was anincrease on this one, 145 is a weight that I had failed on before, so although I only got in 2, I'm good with it.
Push Jerk - 125, 130, 135,  I took these slower - primarily because I wasn't uber-confident with the jump under aspect, but I did them, and I think I could have gone heavier.....

Oly lift total - This is 3 attempts at a 1 rep max on both Snatch and Clean and Jerk.
The last several times we have done this one, I ended up not going for a max, but working on form.  This time, I actually did go for 1 rep max, and although in the end, both lifts were heinously ugly, I got them, and they counted, hideous as they were.
Snatch - 85/95/100 - Like I said, I got them, but they weren't exactly pretty.
Clean & Jerk - 95/115/125.  I can't figure out why the Jerk is the easy part.  In theory, if I can jerk 135 or 140 lbs - I should be able to easily clean it up.  So what is my issue? I can't figure that one out.  Either way - the 125 is a PR - despite it's ugliness.
So overall - I got an Oly lift total of 225 hideous though it was.

Tonight we did a heavy metcon....a new heavy metcon straight from the demented mind of Jonathan.
4 rounds x 1 minute stations of:
- Overhead lunges (65#) - I got in 7-10 of these each round.  My right leg likes these far more than my left.  The left leg took alot of enticing to do what it needed to do - especially in that first round.  It did not want to do what my brain told it to!
- Pull-to-inverted-hangs - These were Jump to inverted hang.  I only got in 3-4 each round.  As the rounds went on, they became harder to do, because I was semi-nauseous from drinking a protein drink too close to workout time! OY!
- Ring dips - I did these on the rings with the red bands.  I think I got in 7-9 each round.
- Kettlebell swings (24 kg)- These were the money makers!! It kind of scares me a bit, but these did not feel all that heavy.  It was a bit freaky.  I was doing about 20 each round.  Except for the 3rd round, that wasn't such a good one.

Overall, round 1 - 44, round 2 - 44,  round 3 plummet to 35, round 4 - 38.
for a total of 161.

Not bad - I see potential for things turning on an upward swing......YAY!
