Cycle 13 – 3s Week: Power Clean & Deadlift: 5/13/13

Solid 7-8 hour sleep before work.
Arrived at the gym feeling decent (6/10) and energy picked up slightly as I finished my power clean warm-up sets (6/10) and stayed like that the rest of the session.
I do not think I backloaded enough the night before.

Still a good session but I have a feeling that a heavier backload would have given me extra energy to do this session.
I did skip a couple of assistance work as I needed to get home to take one of my dogs to the vet …
I also stopped doing the 1 minute vertical jumps during lower body days to do other dynamic warm-ups.
