next goals for light day

Got a nap in and feel closer to human. As stressful as this summer has been so far with injuries, the hospital and now lightning its still better than last yaer when I lost five people close to me. Front squats and clean and jerk 70 lbs, ovrhead squats 55 lbs. Will update with details after lifting.
Back from the gym, back to staring at the laptop wondering how to pay for this month. At least there is lifting. If I went by Dan John's red light, yellow light, green light to lift theory I wouldn't have made it in the gym very much this year. Good thing I prefer to retreat to the gym when life is sucking. Today was a light day. Warm-up, air squats, 12, 1 x 10 x 45 back squats. Front squats 2 x 5 x 45 alternated with 2 x 10 x push-ups. Front squats 1 x 5 x 55, 1 x 5 x 65, 1 x 5 x 70. Overhead squat 1 x 5 x 45, overhead press 1 x 5 x 45, OHS 1 x 5 x 45, OHP 1 x 5 x 45. Overhead squat 3 x 5 x 55, alternated with overhead press 3 x 5 x 55.
Power cleans 1 x 5x 45, 2 x 5 x 55, 1 x 3 x 65. Clean and jerk 2 x 3 x 65, 5 x 1 x 70, 1 x 5 x 65. Whew!
Light squats 1 x 5 x 95, 5 x 5 x 115, 15 hyperextensions and foam rolling.

Lightning planned the day for me

So I sit, waiting for the tree guy to give me an estimate at 1, and the air conditioning guy to come by and look at that between 4 and 6pm. At least the power is on, I have a ceiling fan and two floor fans going at the moment trying to stay comfortable. The tree guy is gorgeous so I'd rather not be a smelly pile of sweat when he comes by. I am going to need to go to the gym tonight. The session will depend on the news I get. If I can be co-ordinated at all it will be a day for light Oly lifts, front and overhead squats, power and full cleans. If both estimates make me want to crawl in a hole the plan will be Spinning. I will update later, as long as this borrowed Internet connection holds up.
