So strange how these snatch grip DLs light up that tight spot at the base of the right glute but it never hurts the next day.  The 3 reps at 195 nearly tore my thumbs off...or less melodramatically- nearly left a blister.   Shoulders were kinda scrunchy from yesterday and OHS was tough, I had to drop the 135 and 145 rep so as not to risk getting hurt setting it back down on my neck.  145 wasn't beautiful but counted.  No failed reps.  Front squat felt way better this week than last.  Yes, I did a gazillion reps of front squats.  I did it kinda on purpose after jumping to high too soon last week.  I wanted to go slow and feel confident with each jump.  Worked great!  I think I may have even hit 170 with more time.  I messed up on the back squat and lifted 175 twice, like an idiot.  Then I managed 185 but was a little scared because I nearly folded under it.  I had another minute and a half but was afraid to try more without a spotter.  That row combo hurt real good.  My glutes hurt to sit on for the first 2 mins of the 2k.  It also took about a minute after the 500 for me to pick up the pace from a slow flounder to a real row.  This made me feel tough, thanks!
