Maxes Revisited

Today at the start of our last week of classes we revisited max testing to see where we stand after a full spring of lifting before heading home for the summer. After losing weight and dropping most of my lifting at the start of outdoor practices I wasn't sure what to expect heading into this afternoon.

Today was cleans and chinups. We went through the upper body warm up and then started the cleans. I warmed up with 110 and felt good so I worked up to 135 lbs. Did this weight easily 3x so I went for it at 155 lbs. I did this 3x as well and this worked out to a 169 lbs 1 rep max. Not bad.

Then for chinups I was still unsure what to expect. I was happy to get 18 (8 rep improvement from the beginning of the semester) but would like to double this by the end of summer. I weighed in at 145 lbs- back to normal playing body weight. I know I've dropped a good amount of fat so I would like to get back to 150-155 by pre-season without any added fat. Interested to get my body fat percentage taken again in two weeks. In all I was very pleased with today and looking forward to continuing the tests on Wednesday.
