Heavy Upper @ ISCF

I chose to do my axle split jerks today off boxes rather than cleaning them first. This led to another in a series of reminders that I don't get into as tight/good of a rack position when I pick it off of boxes as I do when I clean it first. You can see this in my reaction to a stupid miss forward with 310 in the 4th video. Oh well, I was able to work on some breathing changes to help my bracing and I made myself do conditioning at the end so overall not bad.

0x310 - Very annoying.

Despite not having my first class this morning, I was still rushed during training so I'm just going to always assume I'll only be able to hit the highlights when I train my main upper day on Monday and I'll just have to try to make up the assistance work later in the week if my schedule allows.

Not the conditioning I wanted today, but it was the conditioning I deserved. It is literally the fastest way for me to get it done - 4 minutes with no setup or cleanup to do. It was also easier than last time, probably because I hadn't just finished deadlifting and good morninging.
