Notes: 2:00 between giant sets.  Met the same amount of reps as last week.  ZERO hamstring pain.  Groin is still a little achy, but it'll heal up in time I'm sure.  I made it the goal to get in more total reps than last time, as that seems to be working well.  Got 30 vs 25.  I'm getting the itch to try 5x10 with 410 and see what happens. 

I upped the weight and cut the reps on snatches because, in truth, the 7.5kg plates I have are Pendlay MDUSAs and given that Glen Pendlay has ascended to Valhalla and the company is no longer around, I REALLY don't want to warp them.  They're irreplaceable.  So I'm using some heavier 25lb crumb plates that have a better chance to withstand the abuse.  When I focused on moving fast, I had a few decent snatches in there.

On the training front, I'm kicking around stealing from Brian Alsruhe's programs for my bench and press in the future.  Primary issue used to be time constraints, but I found myself with a decent amount of time with my new schedule.  Right now it's not viable, since my family is quarantined with me and I wanna spend as much time as I can with them, but once we return to ops normal I may give it a go.

Played some frisbee with my kid today and tried to focus on being more athletic.  Chased after bad throws, got some jumps in, moved, got my heart rate up.  It was nice to remember what that felt like.
