Power Clean (3×5): 70#
It was all heavy. The squats were ugly but okay, in a heavy, ugly sort of way that I hope no one saw. The presses I’m going to keep with the 60# for as many reps as possible then lower, because I don’t have a micro enough weight. Cleans were heavy, but nice. I much prefer workout A.

Last two squats were tough every set (almost goodmorninged them), bench was heavy, deads were a breeze. It was mostly mental. I could psyche myself up for any given set and do better.

You’d have thought I was asking my quads to run a marathon given they way they reacted to 15 lousy squats. I has a sad.
