Trouble with triffles

Annoying little injuries palague most of us. Its not the age, its the mileage is what I usually quip about these things as an effort to push them out of mind through humor. But they add up. Monday: Very littel warm up, lots of mobility then back squats 5,3,3,2,2,2,1,1,1,1,1 Topped off at 292.5, dumped 295 on last attempt so I called it a day. Tuesday: Airdyne 8:00 warm up 5x3 clean and jerk 135, 145, 155, 165, 175 3 rounds, not for time: 7 front squats at 135 12 32 inch box jumps 25 double unders Airdyne 10:00 cooldown

Heavyish

Of the many faults and gaps in my training I think the worst is an avoidance of heavy weight.

I've got to change that.

95-115-135-175-205-225-245-255-265-275-285

Happy New Year's Eve

2014 will be my 1st year in the "land of google" as my Android phone just arrived.

Probably not, but I will squawk about it occasionally as a respite from my blathering.
