November 01, 2011 – ME LB

Late lifting yesterday. Working on editing project after work so got to Max Fitness an hour later than planned. I’m noticing that I tend to have red dots on my face and throat after these heavy ME LB days.

Comments: As I said, I got there late, most people were already half through their workouts. 18” pulls so I tested out my new blocks. They work great. I was stupid and tried for 595lbs DOH and did manage to break it off the blocks a bit. Even though I said I’d be sticking to my small jump plan (which I disregarded last week with the chain pulls), I ignored it. I wanted 700lbs bad and that is how I got it. Big ol’ ramp up the legs. I hope to get it cleaner in the future. I was getting pretty tired on snatch grip pulls and the crappy bar wasn’t making it any easier. Had to rush modified glute ham raises and rows (more so on rows). Didn’t seem to mess with the ghrs much but rows were really tough.
