This was a pretty freaking good day, all things considered. I woke up with a splitting headache. My wife said that our girls had the same issue and that it was allergies and/or the weather system coming in. I’m probably hyper-sensitive to how I feel now and changes. I got an extra hour of sleep which felt amazing, though. On the complex, I was determined to hit 300+ and after I hit 297 for a 2lb PR, I knew it would happen. That is until I attempted it.
It always feels a lot further away than it actually is, right? I didn’t realize I was that close to 305 but sadly, that is where I failed. I just didn’t have any more gas to drive the bar up. It feels good to know that 300, and more, is that close.

My left knee was feeling a little out of whack this morning, but nothing terrible that stopped me from moving. This warm-up before snatching is going to be a must for me. It really gets me moving better. I think had I not skipped this during my last heavy single day I would have been better. I wanted to work doubles at 185, mainly because that is something I haven’t done before. It works out to about 86% of my true 1RM, so doable. The first 4 sets were pretty good, but that last set was murder. In fact, I missed the first attempt. I even started to strip the bar but didn’t want to let it defeat me, so I loaded it back up, got focused, and hit the final double.

- FS: 5×2 @ 350
My complex was a little sloppy, but I got it for a PR. I have wanted 295 for quite a while now. Looking at the video I would like to think that I could have done it, but 290 felt pretty tough. I think it was a smart thing to stop there.

For some reason, I just couldn’t get warmed up and moving right on the snatches. My plan today was to work up to 85%, which I did, so I can’t be too upset. I missed 195 which really bugged me. But it is what it is. So I moved on to CJ and started to feel a little better. But I really wasn’t amped about working to 85% for some reason. I looked at the class program for lifting and saw the complex, which looked pretty good. I can’t remember the last time I tested a hang clean, so I figured I would give it a shot. I was surprised to hit 295.
