I got through another tough, but good week of training. Scott is waiting how much of this the “old guy” can take. He is in for a long wait for his answer.

I never thought getting in only three training days a week made for a full training week, but the log shows the story.

Another excellent week of training with Scott expertly mixing in some technical movements like, um, the Bunny Hop, when mastered, may become one of my favorites.

Started and finished very light this week but between the buns was the meat. A deload week, more or less.

This was my best squat workout in a while. I got nice and deep on all reps and felt great at 90% (315) which tells me my 1RM max is about to make an increase. I stuck with the plan and did the reps. they will come in handy when I go for a new PR.

Breaking Down the Clean

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.
