Front Squat: 145x5, 235x3, 325x2
Back Squat: 415x2, 465x1, 505x1, 555x1, 595x1, (add belt) 620 x 3 x 4 sets
Front Squat: 405x 6 (I originally wanted to do 2 sets of 8-10 but my biceps started cramping so I stopped).


** The squats feeling good.  :)  Decided to start working in the front squats because I know that the volume is going to be very low for the next little while and being far from the competition...I want get a little more in....

Conventional Deadlift(kk): 155x3, 245x3, 335x2, 425x1, 515x1, 605x1, 655x1, 715 x 1 x 2 sets, 515 x 8 x 2 sets
Kettlebell snatches: 2 pood x 3 each arm x 8 sets
GHD sit up: 15 x 4 sets
** My groove in the new style deadlift was not feeling very good today.  I was hoping for around 3-4 sets at 715 but was having trouble off the floor.  Sometimes I find myself fiddling with the technique too much and when this happens I question sticking with this technique...it's difficult to get psyched up and wild when You are constantly questioning the set up....reminds me of the types of lifters that i despise...the head cases.

THOUGHTS:  DAN GREEN competed last Saturday.  He did not get the numbers I thought he would get.  I thought for sure he would break the 2000 barrier.  He did not.  He achieved a 1950 total though.  So this places him above me in the Raw 220 Power rankings.  Good for him.  I am sure he is disappointed though.  Leading up to this meet he hit some huge numbers.  I was almost certain that he would be the first North American/Non-Russian to break the 2000@220 juggernaut....so far the only man is Belyaev....and I still have a chance to be the second man to do so in September.  750- 475- 775+  **SHOULDER HEAL THE FUCK UP
