2017-01-20: Few days rest, then lifting heavy!

Due to the workshop I mentioned on Tuesday, which was quite fatiguing, I didn't lift on neither Wednesday nor Thursday.  Back on track today though!

Today's Lifts

Barbell Squat

5x20kg
5x40kg
3x60kg
3x80kg
3x100kg
1x120kg
1x140kg
1x160kg
0x167.5kg (failed lift)

I could probably have pushed the failed one through, but halfway up I didn't make progress and decided to dump it.  Afterwards I felt like I should've pushed on.  Usually when I fail, I feel drained - this time I felt frustrated for not pushing.  Mental block.  

Deadlift

5x60kg
5x80kg
3x100kg
3x120kg
3x140kg (interesting..)
2x7x140kg
5x140kg

So, the first set of 140kg was interesting in that normally I have no problem in lifting 140kg without chalk.  Today my hands was sweaty and the bar was slippery.  I tried going for a 4th rep, but felt the skin tearing of my hand.  Ripped a callus (not bloody) - with a nice piece of skin hanging from my hands afterwards.  Removed it, chalked up and continued with more sets.

Power Clean

1x60kg

Power Snatch

1x60kg
