Somehow my touch and go power clean maxes are getting worse. Before I started, I looked in my blog and it says my TNG power clean 5RM is 175. I did 170 for three today just to test it out and I didn't possibly think I could get a fourth. I dropped to 165 and did 5 easily but I don't think I could have gone any heavier. I have no idea how I did 175 for 5 at one point, but I should definitely be able to do 175/180 for 5. The same thing happened last week, I was 5 pounds underneath my 2RM TNG max. Merrrr. This is probably just a classic case of bitch fever. 

Behind the neck stuff was solid today, the only tough rep was the push press at 145, I almost thought I wasn't going to be able to lock it out but I got it. 

I really enjoyed the 8 sets for even times. Times got slower on the seventh and eight set because my grip was starting to get tired on the axle deadlifts and I had to slow those down a little bit. 

Austin joined me on my cool down walk so that was enjoyable.
