Today was horrible; nothing was working, everything felt like shit. 1600 cals, a little heavy on the carbs, but that’s what I get for not having food in the house. Absolute junk gym session.
- Snatch:
- 24 kg x 5 reps (+44 pts)
- 28 kg x 2 reps (+47 pts)
- Whole body just quit. Couldn’t do shit today.
- Snatch Balance:
- 28 kg x 2 reps (+29 pts)
- 28 kg x 3 reps (+30 pts)
- 35 kg x 3 reps (+38 pts)
- 35 kg x 2 reps (+37 pts)
- 35 kg x 2 reps (+37 pts)
- NOPE. Nope nope nope.
- Push Press:
- 38 kg x 3 reps (+35 pts)
- 42 kg x 2 reps (+38 pts)
- 45 kg x 2 reps (+41 pts)
- Also, nope.
- Barbell Squat:
- 45 kg x 5 reps (+60 pts)
- 55 kg x 5 reps (+73 pts)
- 65 kg x 5 reps (+86 pts)
- Do I even lift?

- 55 kg x 3 reps (+52 pts)

- Lady powerlifter at the gym gave me pointers. Weak lockout, but apparently I’m “hella strong” and “Pascal (the powerlifting coach) would be pleased”. No more grip issues! Felt like I could have done more. 120-125 next time?
- Two-Arm Kettlebell Swing:
- 16 kg x 20 reps (+22 pts)
- 16 kg x 15 reps (+20 pts)
- Easy, but the 50lb KB we have has a massive handle that I can barely hold in my hands, so I stuck with this one. :/
- One-Arm Kettlebell Swing:
- 16 kg x 5 reps (+18 pts)
- Just for shits and giggles.
