Skill:
-Frogstand planche: 6x10 sec., 60 sec rest
-L-Sit on parallettes: 6x10 sec, 60 sec rest
-Handstand Holds: 6x15 sec, 60 sec rest


Strength:
-3 position clean (high hang, knee, floor): 5x1, 2 min rest
Warm up: 1x35 - 1x65
Work Sets: [85-85-85-85-85] 


First set of work I forgot to focus on receiving the bar right above parallel.  I have a tendency to receive the bar in an ass-to-heels squat and then let my upper back go.  So Stacey has me work on receiving the bar right above parallel to force me tighten up quicker and the result is I end up receiving the bar exactly where I need to.  Forgot this during the first set, and oh boy when I was at the bottom did I remember my shoulders were not pulled back the way they were supposed to be, which meant my elbows were dropped, which meant if this had been a heavier weight, I would have had serious issues getting up.


-Push Press: 4x3, 2 min rest
Warm up: 3x35 - 5x55 - 3x65
Work Sets: [3x75 - 3x75 - 3x75- 3x75]


Still get frustrated about the loss of strength, but Stacey noted that my technique is getting better.  And these definitely felt lighter than last week's at 75.  Which means maybe, just maybe, Stacey will let me throw on some more weight next week.


-Front Squat: 3x3, 2 min rest
Warm up: 3x75 - 3x95 - 3x105
Work Sets: [3x112.5 - 3x112.5 - 3x112.5]
