Power Cleans (I need someone to demonstrate the squat clean...or I need to practice more): 1 x 85# 10 x 135# 1 x 145# 1 x 155# 1 x 165# 1 x 175# (failed) 10 x 125# bench 1 x 175# (failed) 25 x 125# bench
Full squat cleans: 3x115# 2x135# 1x145# 1x155# 1x165# 1x175# 1x185# - pr!!! 1x195# - fail. It was mental, 185# felt solid, I should have been able to do 195. It was simply a mental barrier that I couldn't break through.
Coach Buergner said that a squat clean is just a missed power clean. Power cleans are better, more dynamic and explosive pulling being required.
I am unbelieveably pleased with my performance. I hope to just continue to master the 185#. That particular weight is a milestone and will sufficiently prepare us for the qualifiers. Clean and presses, push presses, ohs, thrusters, etc....should be mastered with the 185#.

Well done ant. I can't bring myself to do the squat cleans for some reason.
