Train Smart

Squats - 390 1x3 These felt good today, glad I'm approaching 400. Ballin!
Bench - 252.5 1x3 Was meant to do 2 reps but managed to get a third in.
Clean - 140 5x3 MUCH happier with these.

I reset the weight on cleans a couple of weeks ago to figure out a few technical things, and let me say that was the a very good decision. They felt much lighter today than 140 and racking the bar on my shoulders now comes much easier. I focused on raising my hips at the same rate as the bar rises off the floor, and instead of trying to pull the bar off the floor, it helps to think of the movement as trying to get under the bar as quickly as you can by throwing your elbows out. Those two pointers helped A LOT. Moral of the story, train smart, even if it means sucking up your ego and dropping the weight, it'll help in the long run rather than lifting heavy weight with bad form and risking injury.

Until I can do this, I have not succeeded as a weightlifter.
