AFTERNOON WORKOUT
Axle clean and press (clean once) 200lbs
1x12
1x5
1x1
Notes: Had to squeeze in a super quick workout between obligations, so didn't take a lot of time to warm-up. A little more practice with the clean would have helped, as I could NOT get this even to save my life. I kept being too far one side or the other, which sapped a lot of energy. Brought my head through on a few more reps this time at least. Still a lifetime PR, and a great "bad day PR" to boot. Really starting to get a hang for this, and had a few presses where leg drive carried the whole implement. Liked how the sets broke down today, think I'll do this in the future (1 top set, then get half as many reps in as few sets as possible).

I'm amazed at your ability to let the axle slightly drop for a nanosecond at the point where it seems to get stuck before pressing it up. I bet you're going to have way better leg drive next comp.
ReplyDeleteIt definitely isn't intentional, haha. I think the drop is partially me bending my back under the weight.
DeleteI am finally excited about pressing. Leg drive makes so much more sense now. Thanks for the support.
