CFDC

Muscle-ups 5 x 2

Clean 1 RM

95kg(pr)

Squat 2 x 8 @ 80%

240#

Notes:  One of the most grueling training sessions of my life.  Major improvement on my muscle-ups.  Very happy that I'm at least able to do doubles now.  I think my chin-up work is paying off, and it also helps that I've shed a few pounds (down from ~203 to ~197).  The clean max attempt was a full squat clean, and 95kg was a 5kg personal record for me.  It was super clean, too!  Right away, Mike said to put 100kg on the bar.  I ended up taking three attempts at 100kg, but failed each time.  I got great extension and moved quickly under the bar, but my positioning at the bottom failed me.  Mike thinks it's a mobility issue, and he's probably right.  I think I can hit 100kg soon with some front squat mobility practice.  Then, we did squats.  I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw sets of eight at 80%.  These ended up being two of the hardest sets of my life.  Everything from my mouth to my ankles was hurting on the last few reps.  I spent the rest of the day on the couch.
