Training 2/4/12 Training C&J PR!

Sleep: I was in bed by 8, but not sure how long it was until I fell asleep.  I've been doing better about not getting all worked up when I fail to fall asleep right away, but Friday night was not so smooth.  I think it was the anticipation of going to a concert Saturday night & knowing my sleep was going to be off.  I felt so-so upon waking up on Saturday.

Training @ 7am

A. Squat Clean and JErk - build to a tough single in 12 min

95lbs, 115lbs, 135lbs, 145lbs, 155lbs F on Jerk!, 155lbs got it!  The 2nd attempt at 155lbs was a lot more work or at least felt like a lot more work to stand up the squat.  I had lots of negative thoughts going through my head as I stood there with the bar on my shoulders.   I took a moment to clear my mind and give myself a positive cue and then hit it! 

This is a training C&J PR, ties my all time C&J PR and is a "full squat" C&J PR as I power clean more often than the full clean. It feels like so much more work to stand the squat up than to just pop it up to my shoulders.  I understand that in an ideal world I'd be stronger in my clean than my power clean.  This is not a clean PR, but the best I've done since that freak day in Oct 2010 when I hit 165lbs at a WLing clinic.  I think the coffee in Durham is more potent that Asheville. :) 

B. Clean GRip DL - 3 x 3@ 80%; rest 2 min

205lbs x 3x 3. Felt a bit slow off the ground.
