Moving along

Week B

Day 2
Front squats 3x5, working sets
Bench press 3x5 working sets
Power clean 5x3 working sets
Dips: 3 sets, unweighted

I also did three sets of dumbbell curls. I find it helps to stretch the biceps after a lot of back work.

Power cleans were tough, mainly because I'm trying to perfect my form. I need to work on driving the weight from the hips/legs and getting under the bar. I was bending my arms too much, trying to pull the weight up. I need coaching in this area. Front squats were easy, bench was fairly easy. I need to have patience. I'll hit a wall soon enough.

I can really feel that I'm gaining strength in my lower back and posterior chain. What I'm doing is working!
