Olympic lifting and accessory log for Tuesday, January 5th

Went to the Y because I skipped Crossfit this am.  Tired and sore.  Decided to go for broke on the jerks and then do my rows from tomorrow since I likely won't have time go to the gym.

Jerks went well.

Worked only jerks this time, no presses.  45# for 5 or 6 reps, 95#-135#-155# for triples. Did singles at 185#, twice because I didn't like the first one.  Then I caught fire.  Single at 195# pure gold. 205# again, nailed it. 215# (PR) bam! Best jerk of my life. Better than the 3 previous ones.  So I had to try 220#.  I didn't want to push my luck at 225#, so 100kg was a good enough benchmark.

Got right under it. The tiniest press out, as my left wasn't quite locked out, but I held it, and stood it up.

Pretty stoked.  But I'll have to revise my 2016 goals!

Next chance I get to clean and jerk, I'm totally going for 225#!

After that I did a triple of supinated bent over barbell rows at 185#  (after a warm up set of 8 at 135#).

Didn't like the first attempt, so rested a bit and did it again, better.

Then I hit the steam room and went for a beer with my son.  Great day.
