255xF-missed clean, was beat and shut it down.

Have had an off week or so. I started playing soccer on Sundays, so that is a factor, rough week at work, 2 all night shifts, so add that in. Also, been trying to do 2 lifts a session, instead of my old 1 lift a day.

Considering changing up to less olift, more slow lifts to maintain until after soccer.

In todays weightlifting world, people just olift. But, back in the old days, Tommy Kono talks about bodybuilding, or Tommy Shuggs talks about doing the slow lifts to build strength, then focus on the olifts 6weeks out. Maybe it is time to go back to squat, press, pull for awhile, at least until after soccer, and build the base of strength.
