4/10/08
45 - 5,5
85 - 5
115 - 3
155 - 2
195 - 5,5,5 - had a hard time lifting 195. I think my legs are going to crap out at 205-210

OHP
45 - 5,5
60 - 5
70 - 4
85 - 2
105 - 2, 5, 1 - figured out you had to use your back muscles to lock out the weight over the top of the head. Also exaggerated the back too much before, gonna stop that. Lift should get much better now.

Hang Clean
45 - 5,5
65 - 2,2
85 - 2,3 - I'm getting comfortable with the form now. I think I'm ready to go heavy in 1-2 more workouts. Having a hard time re-gripping the bar after a 2 reps of hang clean. I have to put it on the squat rack then grip it again. Any advice?

4/12/08
4 laps around a HS track
Ran 6 sprints on the straight path while jogging around the curves and the other straight path. Legs were wanting to crap out before the lungs. Either my cardio is getting better or the squats from yesterday are taking its toll. Punched the heavy bag for 30 mins after
