Sunday 9 Sep 12

CFDC

Tall clean 3, 3, 2, 1, 1, 1

40kg, 45kg, 50kg, 55kg, 60kg, 60kg

Squat 1 x 20 @ 65%

195#

Then, complete 5 rounds of:

10 bench press (155#)*
10 toes-to-bar

*Used "sling-shot" device while benching

Notes:  Another great traininging sesson, one which marked the end of the mini-squat cycle.  Tall cleans were a great primer for squats.  Not too taxing in terms of weight, but really got the body ready to go.  20-rep squats were absolutely brutal, particularly for the last five reps.  I was breathing so heavy and had trouble controling my mid-line.  Very happy with this accomplishment, though.  Through in some pressing/pulling work at the end with bench press and toes-to-bar.  "Sling-shot" forces you to use perfect mechanics on the bench by pulling your elbows together and engaging the lats.  Don't think I would've been able to mananage 10 reps at 155# without it.  Toes-to-bar felt strong.
