9-30 - 10-14

For the new guys, all my weights are in kg (most of the time).

9-30
Push jerk - 111 - miss, 1, 113 - miss 98/2@8,8,8,8,8, 100/2@9, 1+miss, 1+miss
C&J 100/1+1+miss 95/1+1 @ 8,8,7 100/1@8
Power clean 100/3 @ 8,9,9
Press 65/1@9, 70@10 52/5@8, 48/5@7,7
Front squat 6x2 - 125,130,134,139,142,142 all at 8 except the last two at 9

Overall this wasn't terrible. At least the front squats were ok.

10-5
P. Sn. 84,86,89,91,93-miss
Bench 215/6@8,8,9,10
Back squat 165/1

This workout sucked, but I deloaded this week so whatever.

10-12
Power clean+Jerk 107,111,116 - miss 97/1+2@9, 92/1+2@8,8,8,8
Clean and jerk 105/2+1 @ 8,9,9,9
Press 61/5 @ 8,8,9,9,10
Front squat 125/6@10, 125/6@9, 125/2+fail

The weird thing about using the RPEs is that I often rebound after I have a bad set, so if I set myself to stop if I reach an RPE of 9 or 10 I think I might be stopping early since I sometimes oscillate or even improve in later sets. But then again, I usually know when I'm going to do this, which is why I take the later set, so maybe my problem is my perception of my RPE...

10-14
Power snatch 91, 93-miss, 93, 95.5, 98 - miss, 98 - miss
84/3@8,8,9,9,8,8
At this point my triceps were running out of steam
Snatch 89/2@8,9,8, miss,1,miss for last set. My back and triceps were pretty gone.
Bench 215/6 @ 8,9,9 215/5+miss, 205/6@9, 205/3@9
Somehow my upper body was pretty good for these. I've done better, but I've done worse.
Back squat 152/3@8,8,8,8, 157/3@8, 157/1@9

This was a great workout. I felt like my technique was really dialed in on everything. 95.5 is a tie for my record power snatch and it felt easy, and the fatigue in my back and triceps is a good thing. They are what should be working. My back squat finally feels like it's come back a little from the horrible start it had with this program. I think the week off really helped. I'm excited for nexy week when I get to go balls out on the lifts in the intensity phase.

Ita visited on the second until the 7th, then I left on the 7th for a conference in Pittsburgh, so I didn't have a chance to post at all until I got back Saturday night. At that point I had statistics homework due Tuesday and today, both of which took like 12 hours of work. So, I didn't post until last night.
