    BS: 215#

    WOD: DNF (Failed the first clean and felt my lower back immediately. I dropped the weight but the damage was done. I haven’t felt good since doing Diane last week. Back to the drawing board…. Very frustrating).

      Already do both, a lot…. But thanks. I’ll be doing my lower back strengthening program that I did a few months back, again.

      Good luck with it. Squatting creates a lot of compression on the spine – hanging from a bar may help, even between sets. I have ruptured discs L4, L5 & S1. Aside from training, getting inflammation down has helped me immensely, i.e., ice and advil (600mg every 4-6 hours directly after injury). I used to see the back doctors at HSS every time my back flared until one of them finally told me patients report a lot of success with ice. Bingo – ice is MAGIC. Get one of those huge reusable ice packs! I also use Biofreeze for pain.

    15.4: 43 rx

    [when done in 2015 Open, I didn’t have 125# clean, so 3 rx was all I had—looking forward to testing this in another year to see where my clean gets me]

    Squats: 215

    15.4: 35 w/ 135# squat cleans

    I got a 1 Rx in 2015, I figured work on dialing in cleans versus a few sloppy reps at 155 or 165.

    15.4: 50 Rx
    all squat cleans
    while I’m happy I improved from last time (27), HSPUs were a disaster today, did mostly singles, and failed 2 cleans. i wish i could do heavy power cleans… can do more next time.
