Came into the gym today still good and sore from Saturday's work. But, aside from the muscle ache, I did feel pretty refreshed and energized after Sunday's rest. Started back with week 1 of another strength cycle today. Went after clean and jerks followed by front squats:
hsc and jerk
5 x 155
5 x 185
5 x 200
fronts
5 x 205
8 x 230
This was a productive effort. Since my glutes/posterior were hurting pretty good from Saturday's dead lift tabata, I decided to give myself a little break and take the cleans from the hang instead of the floor. My transition to the jerk out of the front squat continues to improve, today seemed world's easier than a couple weeks back. Fronts felt stronger as well. I'd a liked to have hit 10 reps @ 230 on my max out set but failed on rep 9. This is still a good effort for me and they continue to improve, slow but steady.
I finished the session with 3 trips up the 12ft rope, starting seated on the ground, and w/out using my feet. Between each trip, I worked in 10 x ring push-ups. Good start to the week.
