A. Snx1 @ 176. 4-for-6. Body moving well but felt heavier than normal, I usually wouldn’t miss these. BW has been down about 5-6lbs since I’ve been playing with a mostly plant diet these past 2wks, just exploring. Energy levels have been feeling awesome but I know I’m still probably not eating enough to support training and I can’t afford to lose weight. Going to try and start adding some dense smoothies with high (good) fats in the morning B. +7.5# last week did 227#. These were slow but got em done! C Done. 12burpees, scaleD to 12cals on echo… Read more »

A) Presses at 45, PP+OHS was 115/145/165, last part I did snatch+OHS at 185/195/205
B) Done at 225, happy with this today – went every 1:20
C) 265/305/325/345/365, 20 at 280 – last few were pretty ugly so I’m not entirely sure how much is left in the tank on these.
SAO
A) Only time for 3 sets, 53s/70

Tino – I’m traveling for work this week so I’ll be living the hotel gym life tomorrow and wednesday. If you have any hotel workouts handy, would you mind sending them over?

When there’s no set percentage work based on feel and mechanics. If mechanics are sound then you can increase load but the main priority is perfect positions.
