Good stuff happened this week and Tuesday was a high volume, CNS-blasting session, masterly programmed by the Brengel. The week finished with a deloading week, starting on Saturday, followed by an unexpected, surprise training session Sunday.
Started and finished very light this week but between the buns was the meat. A deload week, more or less.

Tweet Monday, 5/25 No Training Tuesday, 5/26/09 Snatch, x 2; 65/65/70/75/80/85/. Singles, w/2 OHS: 88/93/93/98/98/103/103/105/105/105/110/110/. Power Cleans, x 3, one from the bottom, two from the mid hang: 110/115/125/135/145/150.
The Olympic squat clean, is a technical lift as is the power clean, requiring mastery of the techniques and progressions, getting quality reps and if you can, good coaching.
Tweet In typical fashion of late, I started my training week slowly, picked up momentum and finished strong. Always finish strong!
