Saturday Training

Time to see if my heavy powercleans paid off... they did. The "long pull" of the power clean really gives the bar more hang time to pull yourself under it. These were some of the cleanest squat cleans I've ever done. Also, a big lift in the front squat arena - I surprised myself. I've hit 150kg before, but wasn't expecting to hit it today.

Squat Cleans
2x50kg
2x70kg
1x80kg
1x70kg
1x80kg
1x90kg
1x100kg (220lbs)
1x105kg (232lbs)

Clean Pulls
2x130kg (286lbs)
2x140kg (297lbs)

Front Squats
1x70kg
1x100kg (220lbs)
1x120kg (264lbs)
1x130kg (286lbs)
1x140kg (297lbs)
1x150kg (330lbs)

330 pound front squat is no joke. Nice job, man!!

**o1d_dude** · 3rd April 12, 10:15 PM

Two snaps in "Z" formation!

That's a big front squat, Josh.

**Joshua** · 24th April 12, 01:43 PM

wow I haven't updated this in awhile. Maybe tonight I will "transcribe" some of my more recent escapades, I've been on the road a lot lately and haven't been on the forums.

**o1d_dude** · 25th April 12, 11:27 AM

I was wondering about your conspicuous lack of updates.

Good to see you back in the groove.

**Alan H** · 26th April 12, 09:49 AM

I was attending the Dunedin Highland Games on Saturday 28 so I didn't get a workout in then. However, while travelling in Baltimore on Wednesday 25th I at least stepped into one of those crappy "Fitness" gyms and did the following:

Front Squat Reverse Ladders:
3x135lbs / 61.4kg
2x205lbs / 93kg
1x225lbs / 102.3kg
3x185lbs / 84kg
2x215lbs / 97.7kg
1x245lbs / 111.4kg

1x275lbs / 125kg

Push Press Reverse Ladders:

3x135lbs
2x145lbs
1x155lbs
3x145lbs
2x155lbs
1x165lbs

1x225lbs

Workout was done on lunch break at work, about 40 minutes. I was huffing and puffing by the end of it. Being at such a frou-frou joint made me feel like this guy.

Oh, and in the hotel every day I did HIIT in Tabata style on either the elliptical or on the recumbent bike.
