Notes - More powerclean practice, just feel like I need to get reps in on this where possible. Continue to re-read Starting Strength, I focused on the hook grip and keeping the elbows locked today. Also out of the rack catching to the thigh, then to the ground, as opposed to straight to the ground. I think I made a few improvements today.

Notes - First time wearing weightlifting shoes, new Nike Romaleos 3, jet black, they are sweet, and they felt great. So glad I got these. Definitely helps for sure. Working on depth on the squat, some good reps. Had one not great rep on the 2nd work set, 5th rep, but other than that all other reps were good. Certainly 295 felt heavy, but the squats were solid, better depth, shoes helped, all good. Continue to practice powercleans. Need to make sure I keep my elbows locked into the shrug and don't pull with the arms, use the hips to rack. I would say it's getting better, but this is going to be a long time before I feel like I have a half decent powerclean. However I really like this lift, it's fun, and it's been a good move to deadlift once a week and then work on these for additional pulling practice.
