OLY/UPPER BACK/FLEXIBILITY

- Oly
Everything is feeling ridiculously light. So much so that I think I'm cheating the pull. I will probably move up to 50 next week. I also finally learned how to catch a snatch on my legs.
- Drop snatches 20x5, 40x5x3
- Hang snatches 40x3x5
- Snatch of blocks
- 6 blocks 40x3, 2
Felt unstable so I did two sets.
- 5 blocks 40x2
- 4 blocks 40x2
- 3 blocks 40x3x2
- Hang cleans 40x5x2
- Cleans of 3 blocks 40x5x2
- Full cleans 40x5x2
- Jerks 40x3, 50x3, 60x3
For these I wanted to make sure I wasn't just pressing, so I increased the weight. All reps felt easy and fast. Need to re-assess technique.
- Upper back
I need to decide if this is just for prehab/recovery or if I'm going to be serious about the upper back on Saturday.
- Pull-ups BWx12x3
- Cable rows w/ articulating back 200x8, 240x8, 300x6
240 easy, 300 hard (relatively--could have done a few sets of 8 if I pushed it).
- Strict hammer curls 30x12x2
- Flexibility
- Soleus
- Gastroc
- Hamstrings in hack squat position (bar behind legs)
- Seated illiotibial
- Adductor on machine
- Seated groin

EDIT: Weight was 212 today. I've significantly cut back on my eating over the past week and the weight hasn't dropped. I'm going to continue for now and monitor things...if the weight doesn't change in a couple weeks I'll need to seriously reconsider this 198 thing.
