Squats
Points to consider
- 3x5 @ 215lb with 5 min rests
- Still working on staying tight in the hole and not going too low
- Form on 185lb squat shows more of what I see on Rippetoe "hip drive" videos. Is this a good thing? We'll see...
- Sets after the first felt better even though there were people chatting right behind me. iit was a good test of ignoring them, focusing on the movement and not allowing the presence of others to change my form because I become self-conscious.
Bench press
Points to consider
- 3x5 @ 140lb with 5 min rests
- Successful reps: 4, 3, 3
- Felt awful; that was surprising
Power clean
Points to consider
- 5x3 @ 85lb with 2 min rests
- Only did 2 sets as I ran out of time
- In the 2nd set, I tried to lower the bar onto my thighs from the rack position rather than trying to slow it just with arms/back. Is that right?
