Strength and Olympic Lifting

  • 50 m tire flip
  • 20 sledge hammer swings, both arms
  • Bench press 3 sets 5 x 65% max, 5 x 75% max, max reps at 85%.  My max is 125 lbs; I did 6 reps on the last set.
  • Front squats, 8 – 6 – 4 – 2, increasing each time.  85, 105, 125 lbs for the first three sets.  Only did 1 rep on the last, at 135.  That is my working max for front squat, 135 lbs.
  • Pull up ladder.  Supposed to do 3 – 4 – 5 – 6 – 5 – 4 – 3.  Got through first three sets.  Failed on the fourth.  Completed last three at partial completion.
  • Weight ring dip max.  7.5 lbs.
I never ring dipped until yesterday.  Proud of myself for being able to do 7.5 lbs hah.
