----------------------------------------
Wasn’t scheduled to do push jerks but just wanted to have a little fun. I could tell at 355 I had a little more in the tank but instead of trying for 375 I decided to skip and go straight to 405. I could tell when I unracked the weight it wasn’t going to go lol. Sometimes you just know. The rest of the workout was all higher rep, bodybuilding style work. In my lifting “career” I was at my strongest right after I did bodybuilding. This was for a couple reasons. 1) I wasn’t doing anything too crazy to hurt myself so stayed pretty injury free for a couple years. 2) Volume training is the foundation on which you can build solid strength on. I keep having to remind myself of these facts every time I start pushing the strength envelope.
