#BLOC #Lifting

Squat 3 x AMRAP @ 120

Resting 3 minutes.
3×5. Feeling heavy today.

Circuit 3 Laps

Resting 90 seconds.

Safe Press – 70 – 0
Clean Pull – 40 – 11
Pinch Hold – 20 – 10s over 4/5 pickups.

Safe press – Tried a lower bar start and a push press but yoke is still just slightly too heavy.

Clean pulls all ok.

Pinch holds – plates are just slightly too wide to be comfortable. Accumulated a fair few seconds but grip was toasted after 1 round.

Summary

Banging headache this morning, was hoping it would have gone by the time squats were out the way.
Only 1 fairly unsatisfactory lap on the circuit again.
