Oh what a difference a week makes. Last week I was pouting about 18.1 and this week I’m on cloud 9 about 18.2. Well maybe not cloud 9, but it was a pretty solid workout for me.
If you are familiar with the workout, you know you go for a max clean with the remaining time left (if you have any). This was something I was not looking forward to. AT ALL. I couldn’t tell you the last time I lifted heavy…I want to say October or November, but it is probably more like August. After training for a competition and then it being canceled and traveling practically the whole month of September, I wasn’t really feeling it after that.
My lifts felt pretty good during the workout and I decided to keep adding weight. And to my surprise, I hit a PR! Granted I didn’t hit it in the workout, but I did a few lifts after it was over since I felt so good. Ended up with a 1.5# PR!! ??? Goes to show you that some days are better than others and it’s important to not let those shitty days get you down!
