I went on a hike up in Yosemite National Park. It was around 13 miles round trip when all said and done. The weather was perfect for a walk through the woods.

730am w/ Kelly

Today's workout was a max effort in the clean, as well as the front squat, time permitting.

The clean wasn't coming together for me today and I only got up to 220#.

Front squatting felt strong today. Maybe I was pissed that the clean wasn't going very well. I got a new 1 rep max PR at 255#, but ran out of time and felt like I could've done 10-20 more lbs. Time will tell.

Noon weightlifting with Carl.

Practiced split cleans for an hour. This is a style of clean that I don't do often enough; it felt unstable and I could only get 215.

Afterwards I finished up with a little pressing and ended up w/ a new 1 rep max PR @ 175#.

12pm weightlifting with Kelly

5x5 backsquat @ 225#

This was too light in hindsight. Didn't start to feel shakey at all until last set. Shoot for 255 or 260 next time. On an upside, I feel like I've dialed in my setup at far as bar positioning.
