(15) Chain Suspended Squats 565
1x6

Notes:  Finding my groove every week.  Wrists weren't playing nice today, but still managed to get the weight up.  After my deload, I'm going to swallow my pride and start at about 525 for a full cycle.

Drop set 405-315-225-135-front squat bar
10 reps each

Notes: Running short on time, and training first thing in the morning, so max strength wasn't there for partial work.  Really got some blood flowing.

Training Log: Entry 1531

Took a practice physical fitness assessment today.  These were the results.

Waist: 34"
Push ups: 67 in less than a minute
Sit ups: 58 in less than a minute
1.5 mile run: 12:13

Overall score of 90.9.  Considering I haven't started prepping/running for my real PFT yet, this is a great showing for me.

(3) Mat Pulls 585
1x11

Notes:  Still feeling a little GI distress.  Fatigue was a factor, but strength was still high.  The pull felt distinctly like 2 parts today.  I got the bar to mid quad, and then hips went forward at same time knees extended.  This felt stronger/faster than before, might have to look into it.

(4) Mat Pulls 585
1x11

Notes: Not a bad day.  I only had 1 meal in me, and pulled this 2 hours later than I like to.  This is traditionally the height that gives me the most trouble, so should be smooth from here.

Tabata axel hang  clean and press 105

Notes:  Was going to take a break from cleaning, but looks like I'm hooked.  I think training the hang clean will help prevent interference between my dead and my clean.

(13) Chain Suspended Squats 550
1x1

Notes: Squats are kinda screwed up with my current rotation, and 550 seems to be a tricky number for me.  Think I'm going to bump back up to 15 links and keep setting weight PRs until it's time to deload, and then start the ROM progression process again.
