Progress? Booyah!

Well today’s WOD was Hanging Power Cleans 5-5-5-5-5, which means you do 5 sets of 5 reps at your max. Usually you build up to your absolute max. This was eerily similar to the WOD from July 20 where I started with 85# and did a complete set of 3 at 115#. Today’s aim was to at least tie that if not beat it. Now in my experience, 3 weeks isn’t a lot of time between workouts to notice a significant improvement but I was willing to give it a shot. So today I started at 85# and went up by 10s (85-95-105-115). The last set I decided to go for it, but in a mediocre fashion. I got 120 up 3 times, so not enough for a complete set, however this would have been good for July 20. Soooo, this is a round about way of saying I’m improving. Granted in a mediocre fashion.
