This one was a “4″. After 5 consecutive days of fairly intensive training, my one day off yesterday was not enough rest to recover and reload.

I came to the gym all geeked up to do well in Hang Squat Cleans, but today wasn’t the day. All the weights felt heavy on this day, so I backed off as soon as I hit the wall and finished with manageable, (read, lighter) weights.

I warmed up with 3 Burgener rounds and some light hang squat cleans and overhead squats.

I did 7 x 3 of the HSC and as modest as it was, it looked liked this:

95/115/125/135/145f/115/125.
