Well, I have not had a computer since we have been in Seattle, so I have not been able to post. I do not have much time now, so there will be a full report Wednesday.

Last night I clean and jerked 140 kilos for five singles — the most I have ever done. Afterwords I squatted 204 kilos for three sets of five. My trunk is and was absolutely destroyed after doing this. If anybody tells you that the basic barbell exercises — squat, press, deadlift, bench, clean and jerk, and snatch — do not work the “core”, please tell them to kindly fuck off.

Note: I had literally 2 minutes to type this post last night, and I had intended on typing “core” as a very tongue-in-cheek comment. Hopefully I got that across, but we definitely do not use the term “core”.
