Under the Bar

WOD

1) clean, triples, 95,115,135, 135

Getting better, still room for qualitative improvement.

2) bench, singles, 225, 245, 255(f), 265(f)

245 - my old friend

255 - a new acquaintance

3) bench, triples, 220, 220(f), 210, 210, 210

4) clean shrug, triples, 225, 225, 305(f), 225, 225
Thinking : Explode !!
Thinking : It's Heavy

Notes: Stronger on the bench than ever, 245 felt light. I unracked and 1/4 benched my challenge weight, 265. I think I can do it. I love setting a PR, even in bench. I meant to clean shrug my challenge weight, 265 (again). The weight felt heavy, and I was slow. When I dropped back down, 225 felt like a paper weight.

Additional Note: Look closely at the picture. I am trying to clean shrug 305. No wonder it felt heavy. I am an idiot.

those cleans in the first video are looking much better! If you keep that form solid as you move up in weight, your gonna have a huge PR. Good work!
