No Rest for the Weary

[ASUThermo]

hang cleans: 67.5kg x 3, sweet. feels so light after holding 180 in your hands.

Yesterday my buddy was having trouble with cleans prior to doing heavy deadlifts, after he could clean 20lbs. more than what he was struggling with before. Keep up the good work.

thanks, its moving pretty good at the moment, cant complain :icon_chee

EDIT: Just looked over the 1st page of the log, and its been a year since I started this log. Makes me realise how short a year really is. Very fun to look through a entire year of training, tho. =D

Thanks. Yes my squat is going very good atm. hopefully it continues for a while.:icon_chee 165 was pretty hard, I came out of the hole easy, then my hips rose alot faster than my shoudlers, so I ended up good morning most of the weight at the top. I might be able to double it, but not at that perticular day

Nice work on the volume day. I both love and hate day 1 of TM.
