8.4.03 ME Lower + PRs + hook grip

[Cuthbert]

Low back was definitely sore from screwing with the atlas stone yesterday, but went heavy and hard anyway...

Combo squat/GM... first time ever doing these

225x3
245x3
275x3
295x3
315x3
325x1
335x1
345x1 PR

Glute Ham Raise
BW x 5 (5 sets)

Decided to try out the hook grip today, see how I liked it... and I like it A LOT!

Hang Power Snatch (hook grip)
95x3
115x3
135x3

My hips felt like a friggin slingshot on these power snatches.... makes a big difference when you dont lose power through the hands...

Hang Power Clean (hook grip)
135x3
185x3
205x1
225x1 PR!

Hadn't performed these in 8 months.. technique felt a little awkward, but hit a 20lb PR nonetheless... very encouraging.

Finished up with front squats and abs
