Did the last set as Hang Power C&Js.  My back is still sore, I'm trying loosen up my posterior chain and hip flexors.  I think that is where the porblem lies.

Basketball Day!!!  FINALLY!!!  Actually had 10 this morning.  It was fun.  Didn't play that great but pretty good.  My back is still pretty tight.  I need to focus on mobility and flexibility throughout the day.  I only really tried to jump once and got easily up over the rim.  Anyhow, it was great to just play again.

I also was in the water all day, diving for work.  Which seems to exhaust me even though  it's not terribly strenuous.

Snatch - Rest=60s
2 x 2 - 95#
2 x 2 - 110#
2 x 1 - 120#
2 x 1 - 130#
4 x 1 - 115#
Felt pretty good on these.  I'm throwing the weight a lot higher, or maybe I'm getting better at getting under it.  Either way, felt pretty good.

Snatch Pull to Knees
3 x 5 - 155#
Very short range of motion, but I tried to visualized the proper hip position through the entire movement.

Snatch Grip Behind the Neck Press
3 x 5 - 65#
Maybe a little light, but I'm so weak on this movement that I wanted to err on the side of caution.  Got all the reps with no pain.

Strength - Finished 3 weeks of Wendler, so starting over without rest week.
Squat - Cycle 2, Week 1
5 x 135#
5 x 155#
3 x 185#
5 x 220#
5 x 240#
5+5 x 260#
Made that my woman!  Using a bench again to check depth, and it is just below my knee in height.

Ran out of time for a WOD.  However, I did do about 5 min of foam rolling this morning and that really took the tension off my back.  Hit my glutes, hamstrings, and hip flexors/quads really hard.  I want to make sure and make that part of my routine.  I was kind of dragging @$$ while getting started so I need to do a better job of time management if I want to try and get a WOD in too.

20 & 21 Oct 12

I had drill with my reserve unit and formation was at 0500 both days.  Also the gym closed at 5 pm on Saturday, and I was driving home on Sunday so no workouts.
