Work set:
None, pain in right shoulder.
Power Cleans:
Had been over 2 weeks since I last did Power Cleans, and instead of staying same 150lb, or going up just 5lb, something told me to go try 165lb.
165/3/1 (After almost failing to clean the third rep, I got it up, and as i tried to set it down, I fell backwards. Lucky it was 45lb plates, and the bar did not hit me, because the distance from ground to bar was thicker than my trunk. Had some weird looks from the people in the gym.)
155lb/3/4 (4 sets completed properly at 155lb. Up 5 pounds.)
Chin ups:
10 reps
10 reps
6 reps
(all full range, from hanging up, no kipping. I can do less than I used to, biceps were burning on third set badly).
