Physics was closed today, so I went to the Y at lunch for some mobility.
But first I decided to have a go at my power clean PR. I hadn't tried in a while and I felt that my goal from Oct 5, 2012 was within reach. I figured I should try to attain at least one of my goal for 2013. Granted this was set before I decided to make 2013 my year of mobility.
My current PR of 175# was set last September 23rd. So I slowly worked up to 135#, then 2 reps at 155#, then a single 165#, 175#, and finally 185#. It was almost anti climactic. I pulled and there it was. I had to take a couple of steps forward, but I was holding 185# across my delts in a front rack position that moments before had been on the floor. So I had to try for 190#, but it didn't go. So there it is. One of six goals met.
The others will fall soon. Except maybe the snatch and dead lift, but we'll see.
Nice way to close out 2013.
