That 100lb TGU is getting close. 90lb felt really good today - the trick is not to tire myself out too much with the first few sets. I switched things up a bit today and tried to hit 3 reps for every set of the snatch, so I didn’t go for a PR in weight. I also performed one rep with the left, then one with the right for each set instead of the usual 3x left followed by 3x right. Didn’t go too heavy with the pullups because I wanted to spare my tender little hips until I get a better belt. I had no one to spot me on the bench, so I had to play it safe and quit after 4 reps even though I had a few more in me. A good day in the weight room.
