 Good session again, led off with hanging power snatches to switch things up.  Never seems to result in higher weights on them though....

Well it's hot out..mid 80s....it's also suffocatingly humid.  Still waiting on a hot & dry day....aaaaany day now would be great.  Starting to take times on the 100s.  Didn't do great here, but I usually improve pretty quickly over the 2-3 weeks I put max effort in.

 Jammed this into 30 minutes....no clue how.  Rear-foot elevated split squats crushed my quads....not sure I want to be doing these during sprinting season (As I mentioned last week...). Put up 275 on front squats, surprised I had that much juice in my legs after sprinting yesterday...

I can't believe I did this one in 42 minutes.  My deadlift has been lagging all summer really, I commented on that before, I think without the back squatting for a month there in favor of front-squatting only it slipped.  I'm not worried, I'm focusing on track speed at this point so I don't anticipate numbers picking back up until late September or so when sprinting for max speed is probably over for the year (I may do indoor sprinting at the Y this year...maybe).

 Wow, decent weather....that's a shock.  Warm, not too humid...usually summer in New England is divided up between Hot & Humid and Hot & Dry days, with a healthy portion of Hot & Disgustingly Humid days.  The ones I run best in are the hot & dry...which we have had maybe 3 of this year?

 Not bad, got the whole session done in 37 minutes...Feeling strong, no residual soreness from yesterday on the sprinting at max effort. Tried rear-foot elevated split squats...they seem like a good idea, just not sure about right now with sprinting max effort for the next 5 or so weeks.

 So I still feel behind because of the crappy weather for almost a month, but I have to get some times in for the 100 to see where I am.  I have a feeling it's going to take a few weeks here to gear back up.  Maybe in the future I should just always run max effort 100s instead of the 110s.  That's when I was at my fastest, I think.  I feel heavy footed still here, and the weather wasn't great, it barely hit 70 today, and was pretty humid.
