- Deadlifts: 340*10 375*10
- BB Hanging Power Snatch: 155*1 145*2 145*1
- BB Hanging Power Cleans: 135*32 (not a typo)
40 minutes
So I decided 3 sets of 10 on the deadlifting was a lot like the 4 sets of 10 on squatting; it just wears me down more than anything. I want to go 385-395-405 over the next three weeks, and if I'm worn down that's not going to happen. When I started this higher rep stuff I was not sure how long I would continue for, I think I'm going to do a few more weeks, I'm at the one month mark now. My goal is 250 for 10 on bench press, 405 for 10 on deadlifting, and 300 for 10 on squatting. Snatches the 155 was really shaky. Should have warmed up more and done 145 first for 1, then 155. I went straight from 135 to 155.
Ok so for the hanging power cleans, the gym is having a competition on various lifts, the idea came from one of the trainers. It's mostly cardiovascular stuff; nothing like 'highest deadlift' or anything, it's more 'how many reps with 75% of your bw (max weight 135 lbs)' type of deal. In this case it was total number of reps in three minutes with 135 lbs. You could put the bar down as needed. Some other guy got 50 with 135...then I found out he used wrist wraps. My face when they told me:
Anyway I got 32 reps. My last rep the weight actually fell out of my hands, not even on purpose, my grip was just exhausted, even with putting the weight down twice during the three minutes.. Afterward my forearms were so swollen I think it bruised the skin underneath, check this out, both forearms had bruising on them all over, like this.
