Good workout, most people dont use high rep cleans but i love em for conditioning and the extra upper back/trap work. upper back still needs work as i think it is holding my deadlift back at the moment. thursday is a squat day and needs to be a good one since i didnt get to hit my lower body on monday.
Gym I work out at closed yesterday for the weekend (unbeknownst to me until i got there), so not weights till monday…fml

cleans and front squats felt really good today, very happy with both of those. been prioritizing my grip and upper back lately to help my deadlift, hence the high rep deadlifts and chainsaws. been doing deadlifts double overhand to really emphasize grip and chainsaws to hit upper back. im really looking forward to testing my deadlift in a couple of weeks (been stallled at around 460 for about 2 months).

Couldnt lift yesterday as I had a dynamics test that i spent all of sunday night studying for and as soon as i was done with class i had to finish my comm presentation which was due at 6 that i finished at 5:40. long day but i got a good nights sleep last night and had a productive lifting session today. the next two weeks are going to hell schoolwise so hopefully i dont miss too many more lifting sessions. o well im done in less than 2 weeks, then no more excuses!
