Well that was fun.  Felt like doing an extended workout here, so I did.  Deadlifts I really focused on keeping my shoulders pinned back and making sure I didn't slump at all at the shoulders.  Also didn't want to go too high on weight this week.   Snatches I aaaaalmost had 160.  Next on power cleans I'm starting back over again and focusing on form this time, and making sure I'm keeping the weight in close to my body.  I don't want them to turn into ballistic front raises or something.  After that glute bridges; since I found last week that they didn't really hurt my back/leg that much at all I wanted to push it.  Got to 550 and wasn't sure if that was a PR, turns out 545 was my old one.  I really think I could have had 575 or 600 here, maybe next week.  Was pumped so I did some RDLs, I'm trying to really hammer my lower back, but not via deadlifting & squats, I want to bring my lower back strength up so that it can support squatting better, so I'm throwing in a lot more good mornings, and RDLs.   Finished with some ab-wheel and PUPPs.  Was completely battered after!
