OMFG a One Rack Gym Sucks!

5min stationary bike
Bench 95x5,135x5,185x3,205x2x12 or something a couple triples thrown in there. I was feeling extremely strong.
DB Rows in between 9 or 10 sets of 3s and 5s 100# - easy
The squat rack was taken up the this whole time so I started doing front squats with with a power clean to get it in position. These really sucked since the bar was bent and thus rolling in to my neck at times. Also, it occurred to me that I'm not very good at getting from a racked position to a press type position. This is essential for me for two reasons: #1 so I can clean and do overhead work with something heavy, #2 so I can lower the bar in a controlled manner from the clean position and not piss off the gym owner.
Clean to front squats - worked up to 3x3 with 175
Front squats 175x3x8 or so
Worked on going from rack to press position up to 185 - just getting confident with this shit.
A few sets of 12 calf raises in between the above shit.
Anyways I felt pretty strong on the benches - Holding my breath from rack to first rep seems like the way to go for a big single.
Life has been getting in the way of hitting the gym - I need to be more vigilant about going and doing what I can when I can and quit pussing out. The shit is only going to get more busy in the future so I might as well get fuckin used to it. Fuck all this introspection. I feel like deleting it now.
