Back in the gym, taking it lightly

i decided to take a break from the heavy powerlifts for a week or so to give myself a chance to miss it and for variety. Today, I warmed up with 12 air squats, 10 back squats with the bar only, then did 3 x 10 push-ups, 3 x 5 x 45 front squats. Continued with front squats 1 x 5 x 55, 1 x 5 x 65, 1 x 5 x 75, these were tough. Then, overhead squats, 3 x 5 x 45, overhead press 3 x 5 x 45, overhead squat, 1 x 5 x 55, 1 x 1 x 65, fail, 1 x 5 x 65 did it.Overhead press 1 x 5 x 55, did not press out 65 as the plan was to clean and press that next.

Power cleans, 2 x 5 x 45, 1 x 5 x 55, clean and press 1 x 3 x 65, 1 x 3 x 70, 1 x 1 x 75 messy fail, back to power cleans 5 x 3 x 75 nice, felt strong. Back squats 1 x 5 x 95, 5 x 5 x 115.
Tomorrow will do cardio on the treadmill, easy jog and then Coralette's class. Thursday, increase reps on front squats to eight, keep weight at 45, 55, 65. Do two sets each of overhead squats at 45,55,65. Try to clean and press 75 three times again, if that doesn't happen power clean it out. Back squats, 1 x 5 x 95, 1 x 5 x 115, 2 x 5 x 120, 2 x 5 x 115. Friday off, Saturday cardio.
