GIANT SETS

3x4

Reverse hyper 230
4x16

Hammer curls 45
4x9

Notes: That 255 is a massive victory.  I took video that I'll upload later, but looking at it, it didn't look as awful as it felt.  The clean is still sluggish, but I have enough energy, and I ended up pressing it strict instead of viper just because of how long it took, which means I should have even more in me when I get the technique figured out.  Leg drive needs some work on the push presses, but that's about standard for me.  Cut out a round of work, since I have my fitness test this afternoon and wanted to leave a little in the tank. 

I'm 10lbs away from comp weight, and that's with a strict press, with 2 months to go.  I'm feeling real good right about now.

Woke up at 197.4.


PM WORKOUT

FITNESS TEST

Height: 69"
Weight: 196lbs
Waist Measurement: 32"
1 minute push-ups: 57 (max score, got it done in 30 seconds)
1 minute sit-ups: 54 (max score, got it done in 45 seconds)
1.5 mile run: 10:50

Notes: I have NO idea where the hell that run came from.  That's the best time I've had in about 11 years.  That weighted vest paid off in spades.  I ran the first lap in 1:32 and the mile in 7:05, and never really felt like I was in a all that much agony.  Despite training slow, I trained to endure, and it worked out well.

Also, video of the PR press I set this morning

Allow me to pat myself on the back briefly, because for once I feel like I'm firing on all cylinders.  Yes, my static strength has taken a very slight plunge, but it's already looking to come back well, and events and athleticism are feeling awesome.  Think I got something good coming my way these next few months.
