I = (almost) RUSSIAN

Power clean

85/5

Power clean + Jerk

100/1+1 x 2

Clean and Jerk

105/1+2
117/1
117/1
120/1
122/1 x 2

Great clean and jerks, I was only supposed to do 117 and maybe 120 but tings felt really good.

Clean Pull

122/3 x 4

Back Squat
The infamous 90%/5 x 2

170/5 (lots of screaming)
175/0

Not so easily got 170/5, which is 90% of 190, the max I used before this prep. phase. I'm currently using 195 as my max, so I technically didn't get 90%/5, but this is still a moral victory and I feel strong as hell. Hence I am almost Russian.

Clean Pull to Straight Legs

120/2
135/2 x 2

Nice work, Jake. One of my goals for this year will be to Power Clean + Push Press more than you C&J. HAH

Hmm that would be depressing, especially if my clean and jerk improves more slowly than your power clean and press.

Wow I somehow missed the whole squat thing. Nice work, Jake.

This guy who works out at MIT gym was doing 110 C&J today. Says his best is 120. He weighs ~75. (All kilos) Your job is to stay stronger than him. He also deadlifted 435 for doubles after cleans.
