10-1

Power clean + push jerk 90/2 x 4 (70%)
Clean and jerk 90/2, 105/2 x 4 (80%)
Jerk behind head 105/2 110/2 115/2 x 3 (90%)
Clean pull 105/4 x 2 117/4 x 3 (92%)
1/2 jerk 130/10 x 3
Back Squat 115/4 135/4 x 3 (70%)

Flexibility (did this twice, AM and PM):
20-30 minutes of hamstring, groin stretches standing and seated. I stretch really hard, to the point of pain but not injury.

Jerks behind head actually felt really good. I tried these when they were actually written into the program and failed misterably (a few months ago). Now I've got the technique down and they feel great. I will continue using these. The half jerks felt good too, I think it will help my rebound out of the jerk a lot.

It's good that I'm actually doing flexiblity work now. My hamstrings aren't bad but my groin is terrible. I was thinking that I would just do it on workout days to give myself complete rest on my off days, but after doing the AM flexiblity today and then lifting I think I'll be able to do it every day. It's necessary so I guess I might as well, I'll just not do it too hard the day before heavy workouts, and certainly no AM stuff if I'm going 90%+.
