Today, squats suprisingly got progressively easier.  Maybe it's because I felt I had to step my game up with John Cena squatting 235kg for multiple sets of triples a couple platforms down from me. HA!

Push jerks were difficult as the weight got heavier.  On the last set, I missed my attempts.  I need to keep working on these with heavier weight in order to improve on my split jerks.

I want to share with you this old classic Russian weightlifting training video.  While the video is in Russian, you can still get the idea of what's going on by just lowering the volume and listening.  You might find it valuable!
