DE Lower 2

Warm up:
DB swings (45#)

10x2 box squats (135#, a few inches below parallel)

7x1 push jerks (85,95,105,115,3x120)
7x1 snatch high-pulls (2x95,5x115)
7x1 hang power snatch followed by 2 overhead squats (45,55,2x65,3x75)

Did some pitiful suitcase deadlifts at 115#; really tired and too lazy to drop the weight, so I called it.

Morphed into an overall speed/power day. Jerks felt good, timing was crisp. Did these in the power rack with the pins set so that I could squat after a jerk and set the bar down rather than re-racking (clavicles still bruised). The snatches are also beginning to feel OK (well, that's a bit of an overstatement). I have a tendency to drop into a full squat, which is probably due to not pulling the bar fast enough (failure to fully extend).
