Today ended up being a long workout, but a really good one. I’d initially intended to just do an off-kilter pyramid of the power snatch, with maybe a similar pyramid of power cleans if I still felt solid.
Power snatch
75 x 1
95 x 1
115 x 1
105 x 1
85 x 1
I still felt solid, so onto the power cleans. I widened the difference in loads for this one, which turned out to be a good call.
Power clean
100 x 1
130 x 1
160 x 1
145 x 1
115 x 1
I was glad to have a bit more leeway in the first two sets to build up to set 3, since it was 95% of my max. After that, I would normally call it a day, but I got it into my head that I wanted to run. And I felt like, for some reason, I could really go all-in on such a run. So:
400m run – 1:34
It was still 4 seconds shy of my PR, but it’s the fastest 400m I’ve run in 17 months. That’s how I like to end a workout.
