Cambered Bar medium stance good mornings with chains...chains were 120lbs...for whats its worth i do my walk out good mornings very deep
barx5/bar and chainsx5/145 and chainsx3/ 235 and chainsx3/ 325 and chainsx3/375 and chainsx2/415 and chainsx2/445 and chainsx1 narrow stance cambered bar olympic squats 3 sets of 5 reps everything felt pretty good...amazing how those olympic squats were "felt" with moderate weight after doing the good mornings...meaning i was surprised that they were not easier because of the lower weights. |

Yesterday...back was tight a bit in the center...i know your thinking chains, chains, chains, but i like to throw training in with them...
Paused Front Squats with heavy chains up to 300 plus chainsx1 Push presses up to 275 with the chains--x1 Grippers Back is really tweaked feeling in the center today...i think the good mornings tweaked it in the beginning, and now it is what it is.

Jacked up my back pretty bad...I do not understand how it never happens in a split second with me but all these injuries take a couple days and then im basically crippled. Needless to say i didnt lift all week, and my ocd about my training has been brutal...saying how in the heck am i 3 weeks into my training cycle and i get hurt like this? Are you that much of a sissy? Well i decided that enough is enough, and i went out to get something done...i havent eaten in a couple days because when im in pain i have no appetite. Still jacked up in the back but maybe doing a tiny bit of something will help things...Just wanted to get something accomplished.
Snatch grip behind the neck strict press into an overhead squat 95x3 95x3 135x3 160x3 185x2 sets of singles 2 light sets of lat pulls 5 sets of singles on the grippers |

Back still tight and jacked.
 Hang high pulls to chest/throat with clean grip-i noticed i do not have much explosion because of my back issue, and because of being intimitdated i will mess it up more by trying to be explosive. barx....135x3/225x3/275x3/315x2/350x2/365x2 standing d.bell strict presses 4x5 grippers I do not know if i will ever get over my ocd with my training! It is very overwhelming! |

Today was my mothers birthday, I went to her grave and cried like a child. She passed back in May of this year...after this i went and did my training.
Paused Front squats with chains...Did doubles, and then a miss with 275+chains...dont know what happened, but it basically buried when the single before was very easy. Push presses 135x3/225x2..i then added heavy chains and did 225 with chainsx1 225 with chainsx1 and 250 with chainsx1 safety squat bar good morning into a paused squat for 3 sets of 5 reps Grippers |

i think i have possibly found the culprit of my back deal...i thought it may be the good mornings, but i did push presses after front squats the other day and it inflamed by back up again, not as bad, but bad enough...it was better during the day today, but then got a little worse, and then of course was painful during lifting. Im not writing this to be a cry baby, but to note this in here. A friend said i was so durable and resilent, but it seems since i have hit 30 i have had some stupid injuries.
Tonight- Snatch grip high pulls to throat/chest with bar resting on pins at thigh height...i think this makes it a little tougher, starting from a dead stop...135x3/135x3/225x3/275x1/315x1/365x1/365x1 close grip muscle snatches from the same height pin 135x3/185x2/205x1/225x1 snatch grip btn press 135x5/135x5/160x5 grippers

grippers
paused front squats for singles hang muscle cleans from high pins 3x3 very blah training session, felt strong on the grippers, went in to do a moderate day to try and let the back heal, its sad when your light/moderate weight feels heavy.

First power jerk session since highland game season ended...been hitting push presses with chains, decided to do some push/power jerks with the heavy chains....now these chains dont gradually come off the floor, they fly off floor all at one time pretty much. Good core tester.
Worked singles up to 310 or 315 plus chains...funny i had 300/chains on the bar and did two shaky singles, got furious with myself and added weight on, and did it. Usually i have found that the chains + bar weight and straight weight are pretty equal in a max...so for example if my max is around 450 in the push press, i should be able to do 350 the 100lbs of chain. This is specific to the explosive overhead lifts, not necessarily strict press. I am assuming that is because the chains all come off the floor at once, and not gradually, but i could be wrong. Next I did 5 singles in the paused over head squat 135 and chainsx1/ 135 and chainsx1/ 160 and chainsx1/ 180 and chainsx1/ 190 and chainsx1 Finished off with some gripper work(a goal of mine has always been to be able to certify on the number 3)

gripper work-i started with 2.5 and hit 5 reps in the right hand...now granted, it wasnt credit card set, and it was re set after rep, but im pretty sure the handles hit each time, was shocked because i had never done any rep work really with the 2.5...after that did some single attempts with the 3 close grip muscle snatch from the hangbarx10 135x2 185x2 225x2 250x1 260x1- wanted to double 250, but was not feeling it... snatch grip high pulls to throat/chest from hang 225x2 275x2 315x2 340x2...last set was not explosive at all, and i was very dissapointed with height of pull. 2 sets of 20 reps on a pulley row standing, just to get blood flowing. |

Paused Overhead Squats with chains up to 205 with chains and a dump with 215 and chainsForm Work with Light/Moderate weight in the power jerk-did 9 singles up to 365lbs Gripper work First time doing some straight weight with no chains in the power jerk since highland games season ended, felt good and explosive(as it should be with that weight) but could notice a bit of fatigue from going heavy in the overhead squat previously.

Hang Snatch grip high pulls from pins at knee height(up to chest/throat)
135x3 135x3 225x3 275x3 315x3 365x1 365x1 385x1 405x1(dont know if i hit chest height) close grip hang muscle snatches 135x1 185x1 225x1 250x1 250x1 250x1 270x1 275x1 one hand plate holds with 2 25's held toghether/grippers when at the heavier weights, my muscle snatch is a continuous clean and press almost, its a high pull into a press...the transition into the press sometimes at the max weights happens at my throat/chin...im saying this because some say this is not a true muscle snatch.
