CleanPull + HighHang Clean HighPull + 3 HighHang PowerCleans with 165lbs
Well the High hang olys were done with a very small dip, about 2-3 inches. with the 165lb sets, the bar was coming up high enough to rack with a small dip, but as I started fatigue, and grip starting slipping the bar got lower, so by the last set, I racked it quite deep with the hammies down to parallel
Something I rarely do, and normally kills my hammies, but the Drop jumps today and complexed partial ROM frontsquats last week helped a lot here.
I figure if I had done a 5th set I would have had to squatcleaned it
Bar is crashing on me though - something that always happens when I rack the bar with open hands instead of holding onto the bar

Overheadsquats with 55lbs
I have a habit of turning out my feet too much on the first rep, need to fix that

Fullsquats with bands exploding onto toes. I complexed these with 30lb jumpsquats

Overhead squats were tough but I made em all no probs, up the weight next week. Warmup for full squats

Light Bands kicking in one inch off the bottom - wrapped around 25lb plate on the floor, with another 45 ontop.

Bar x5, 135lbs x5, 135+bands x 3, 5 moderate intensity jumps

Cleangrip full Frontsquats+Bands - tempo X0X0 - rest 1min
exploding onto toes and jerking bar off shoulders
135x5, 185lbs 2x3
The pause on the 2nd rep of each fullsquat set felt about 30lbs heavier than without!
The bands while they do make the top harder, sure make the stretch reflex much greater than normal, as evidenced by how much harder the paused rep felt!
First time doing frontsquats with bands, and it did feel harder, but what got me was the fact that 185+bands = about 285-305lbs up top and it didn’t feel as heavy as I thought it would. I did all sets fine, with no breathing or blackout problems. Sure gives me a confidence boost
I would rested longer than a minute between sets and have done another set, but someone was waiting to use the powerrack - damn - gym only has one rack now!!!
I was slightly airbourne on all squats, right up on my toes
