Shoulders feel pretty taxed today. Couldn't make myself go for it on the Jerks at 90-95%. All reps leading up to it felt pretty good. Overall feel like my body is low on "go juice". Deloading next week will hopefully help. Need to get to bed earlier too...

Notes:
I really backed off the DL today. Low back is pretty fatigued from yesterday's squat session and I feel like I have a knot in my right low-back. I also belted up on the last set...which made a huge difference contributing to the 7 reps. Also hit a couple singles afterward. Hoping to hit some core later...we shall see...

Notes:
Missed 210# on snatch three times on my first set, twice on the second set and then didn't miss at all on the last two. I think I should have done more mobilization and warmed up better. I was easily pulling it high enough, but I think my shoulders were a bit too tight.

Oly Deload and Wendler Phase 2, Week 1

Thursday 5-3

TRAINING:
A. Press - 65%, 75%, 85% x 5
B. Deadlift - 65%, 75%, 85% x 5
C. Snatch Balance + OHS - 65% x 2 x 3
D1. Wtd. Chin-ups - 65# x 5-7 x 3 + AMRAP (BW) x 1

C. 165-175-185

D2. 5-5-6-19

Notes: Press felt good, DL wasn't bad either. Probably could have pulled the 445 another 1-2 reps, but stayed at 5 in order to avoid bad form. Felt like I started to round some on the 5th rep...and I wasn't too dialed in for it either.
