Sunday STuff

Gear:

None / no belt

Olympic-Style Front Squats:
135 x 5
185 x 3
225 x 3
245 x 3
275 x 2 x 2

Couldn't snag a third rep on either set, was falling forward too much. Still improvement, but can't move the weight up yet.

Speed Bench:
195, 9 x 3 (9 sets of 3)

Meh, just easy.

Rippetoe-Style Bent-Over Row:
225, 3 x 5 (3 sets of 5)

Lats/lower back++

I talked to two guys about the club. One one a guy deadlifting 405 @165? (or so) without a belt. SO that was pretty good. He seemed pretty on-the-ball, as he was a Crossfit trainee. Told him about the hours and the website.

Other dude was deadlifting 315 @ some weight > 200 (he was tall). He wore chucks, so he must be curious. Informed him as well.

So keep as out this week for new people. Also, Wooden is somewhat improving; these two guys, and there were a bunch of asian dudes trying to olympic lift (practicing the jerk, hang snatches, etc.)

Then again, I saw some dude doing standing single-arm dumbbell curls while yelling really loudly, so it all kind of balanced out.
