Misloaded the damn weight on the squats. Should have been 260 for 3x5. Oh well. Threw in the deadlifts today because I had time while the kids finished up their workouts. I would like to go back to a three day per week schedule.

I really enjoy the Olympic lifts. The first set of snatch was clunky, but after that it felt better. Last set of clean & jerk was tough. But the racking of the cleans was really good today.

Strength Training

Bench Press: 45x5x2, 115x5, 155x3, 205x1, 235x5, 235x5, 235x5.

So, I think I want to run some totals every so often, just because I think it will be fun, and give me something to work on driving up. Totals will be based on my current numbers, and not any past PRs.

Powerlifting: 265 squat + 235 bench + 320 deadlift = 820 lbs. Not great.

Strengthlifting: 265 squat + 157.5 press + 320 deadlift = 742.5 lbs.

Weightlifting: 107.5 snatch + 120 C&J = 227.5 lbs.

Overall: 1205 lbs. For six total lifts, that's not a great number. So, accountability has been checked, now the work must be done. I'll check it again in a few weeks.

TKD Class: T-Shirt Class: 6:30 - 7:30 pm. Did my form, along with 1st dan and 2nd dan form, then spent the remainder of class going over Do-Kang 5 a few times. Then stretched.

8th and 9th Feb

In the gym after work, warm up and light stretch, then just a set of lat pull downs and chest press, just so I could say I done some weight training...

bought a new balance board for the gym at work so went through a couple of sets of various kicks to work on balance.

Then just worked on some grading combinations and kata.

Press was all over the place today. Getting heavy, and I got out of the groove a few times.
