11/10
Finally over flu and able to go 100%
- Deads with more hip drive. Deads really haven't been a huge problem for me, would love to get a 550...don't ask me why
- Dead Squats with 18" box. This is helping me tremendously. Driving through with the hips rather than bodybuilding type. Hard to untrain 20+ yrs of squatting
- Power Cleans
Well, everyone was talking shit to each other so we decided to play a game. The two girls had 55lbs, my buddy and I just used 135lbs. Each would do 135lb power clean x 3 reps and just keep going one after another until there was only one left standing. He dropped out after 15 rounds. Me and the girls would not quit. At last count we managed about 30 rounds. I started talking and playing around with the the 135 for a clean and jerk. Added more weight. Ended up almost "pez-dispensering" my head with 185. Quickly learned which direction the hips should go when doing the C&J. I finished off with a 205 that was easy, but looking at the video I had very little hip drive and my legs split only about 2ft. Soooo, we talked and I probably have a 265 with relative ease if I would ever get my hips and legs more into it.
Overall, pretty happy with the first time doing that movement.
