Last 2 workouts

8-11
This workout was 1 day after my previous and it showed

P. Cl. 85/2 100/2 x 3
Clean and Jerk 100/1 112/1 x 4 - got 2, then missed the jerk, then missed the clean. I felt like total shit.

Came back in the PM and got:

Clean and jerk 105/2+1 x 3 112/1 x 2 made up the reps
Jerk 105/2 120 - 1+miss, 1+miss This was supposed to be a double at 90 but because of the 2 days in a row I think my back was fried.

BTN Press 52/3 x 4
Front squat 85/4 100/4 120/3 My mid back was toast so I couldn't do more on front squats.

8-13
P. Sn. 70/3 x 2 82/2 x 3
Snatch 77/3 88/2 x 2 102 - 2,1+miss, miss, 95/1 102 - 1+miss, miss, 1, 1
Was supposed to do 90% doubles for 3x2, but since all the weights are in pounds I did 225, which is 102 or 92%. I got 1 double, which is technically a PR double (the most I've doubled is 100kg) then I fought to get 6 total lifts.

Snatch Ab. Kn. 77/2 x 2 88/1 x 4
Sn. Pull 102/3 x 2 110/3 x 2 120/1 x 3
Back squat 105/3 125/3 152/4 x 5 These got hard at the end.

Jake, I was wondering how your shoulders took to doing BTN presses. Does it put any strain on the joint that feels uncomfortable? What about with heavy weights? I know my shoulders started to get beat up when I did them, so I just was curious.

No pain with behind the neck presses. The only lift I've ever felt pain in my shoulder with is bench press, but with the right form tweaks I got it to go away.

I always have to arch my back really hard to get into position to lift behind the neck, so maybe if you don't ach it could put strain on your shoulders.

Good job on the double snatch PR.

Hmmm. I arch too when I do them. I guess its just my long arms putting my shoulder in an awkward position.
