Squats:185x3, 275x3, 365x3, 455x3, 365x3, 275x3, 185x3 (Raw)
Pause Squats:275x5 (2 Sets)
Power Cleans:5x3x185
Zerker Lifts:5x3x225 (This was seriously taxing and different!)
Power Snatch:3 singles with 135
I was absolutely shocked at how difficult the Zerker Lifts were. It worked parts of my back and glutes that I didn't even know existed! Definitely are going to be staples of my routine, both the Zerker Squat and Lift, both good stuff. Didn't really have a lot of time to lift so I had to speed everything up. The squats were all USPF legal and all I wore were my wrist wraps and knee sleeves, both for protection purposes. Surprisingly, 455x3 that deep and raw wasn't all that tough. Getting stronger is cool.
Oh and we have to give Don Salvo the quote of the month last night:"You know what the toughest part of working out is? Working out!"
A little about me
I have competed in both Olympic Weightlifting and Bench-Only Lifting. I competed in Olympic Lifting as a kid. Best lifts of 255 Olympic Press, 225 Snatch, 255 Clean & Jerk. I met many of the great lifters and coaches from the 60's and 70's. After a 20-year break to serve my country I started lifting regularly again and competing in Bench-Only. Best Lift: 419lbs "equipped".
Feel free to follow along on the adventure...
