I know it's been warm lately down South but not THAT warm!

Nice work with the barbell, Josh.

Been sick all week, so today was a suckfest. I've done nothing all week, coming into a workout was rough.

I'm MC'ing a strongman competition next weekend, so I've got to find an alternate gym to train at since the event is going on during my normal training time.

Powerclean and Powerjerk
2x2@50kg, 1x2@70, 1x2@80, 1x2@85, 1x2@90kg (198lbs), 1x1@95kg (209lbs)

Powerclean
2 singles @ 100kg (220lbs), 3 misses at 105kg (231lbs) booo!

Clean Pulls
2x110kg, 2x115kg (253lbs), 2x120kg (264lbs)

Lots of "move the weight fast". I like it.

I missed Saturday's session so I could MC a strongman competition all day.

It was very cold, very windy, and I'm sunburned all to heck. I was sore for 3 days afterwards, just by standing in the cold for 9 hours. I didn't anticipate the cold so I wore a polo shirt with an 8-yard kilt, at least I wore my docs so my feet were warm. My hands were the coldest throughout the day, having no pockets to keep them warm and holding a clipboard and microphone, so I could not tuck them under my arms (plus I was continually fighting the wind, using my clipboard to keep the kilt down...

Next year I'll make sure to wear a sweater.

Good easy day today in the gym. Lots of "move stuff fast" work, and a few squats.
Sorry for the crummy and choppy video, since upgrading to lion I seem to have misplaced my iMovie so I'm using some really crappy software to crop the vid... and the snatch vid was from my cellphone, the other two vids of the cleans were from my tablet - which seems to take better videos.

Lots of stretching

Power Snatch to Hang Power Snatch complex (two power snatches per "rep", first one off the floor, second one from the hang).
1x40kg, 1x45kg, 1x50kg, 1x55kg, 1x60kg, 1x65kg, 1x70kg (154lbs)

Power Cleans
1x70kg, 75kg, 80kg, 85kg, 90kg (in the vid), 95kg, 100kg (in the vid)

Front Skwatz
3x70kg (154lbs), 5 singles at 100kg (220lbs)

Working on joining a new gym soon... which means more than *one* weekly session and more playtime with kettlebells, jumping boxes, and indian clubs.
