Plan was to do 2 sets of 4 with 405, but its been so long since I've done any raw training, my hamstrings were spasming when I was descending. Weight was super light. Amazing how much the suit takes off your hamstrings. Body weight 230.

Bought a 24kg Kettlebell, got it in yesterday so had to try it.

Did a couple sets of swings, cleans, and snatches. With 10 seconds rest between sets. Very sore, from just a 5 minute workout.

Meet Report

Weighed in at 217. Went 4/9 sq-633, 672, 694 missed. 451, 468 miss, 468 miss. Deadlift 683x1, 722 miss, 722 miss.

I think going down to 220 experiment is over. I am missing lifts in the meet, I can easily get in the gym. Even though the USAPL is stacked at 242, I much better at that weight. I will take 10-14 days off, then decide if attending USAPL Nationals will be my next meet or not.

Squats 3/1
