I once again felt strong on the squats. No real difficulty with any sets, good sign of the improvement I am making. All GHD sit ups were unbroken, the first two sets of hip extensions were 20-10 rep breakdown and the last set was unbroken. Maiko beasted this Met-Con out after me then slipped into vertigo.

BWI Crippler

30 front squats at .5 bodyweight (95lbs)
mile run

The run felt good, I feel faster and more comfortable with running everyday. The run was rather hilly and it alone took me 6:28, which I am happy with. Probably could have shaved some time off of my 1:45 on the front squats, I was trying to pace myself in the beginning.

Monday 8-10-09

Quote of the day: I better warn...tell...warn/tell the others.!.

Sleep:
8 hours

Eats:
7:40am: 3oz deli ham, 2 eggs, 1.25 cups spinach, 8 strawberries, .5 avocado, 9 almonds; 4p-3c-9f

10:40am: 4.5oz deli ham, 1 egg, 1.25 cups broccoli, .5 cup blueberries, 18 almonds, 6 macadamia nuts; 4p-2c-12f

1:00pm: 4.5oz deli ham, 1 egg, 1.25 cups broccoli, .5 cup blueberries, 9 cherries, .5 avocado, 18 almonds; 4p-3c-12f

4:00pm: Zone Bar; 2p-2.5c-4f

7:00pm: Post workout 21g protein shake, .5 small potato, 1 teaspoon butter; 3p-2c-3f

9:30pm: 5oz tuna, 3 cups stir fry veggies, 9 cherries, 4 strawberries, 2 tablespoons wasabi mayo; 5p-4c-15f

TDB: 22p-16.5c-55f

Workout:
6:00pm: Squat Program
Back Squat
1x8 178
1x6 206
1x4 233
1x4 247

Front Squat
1x5 157
1x4 180
1x3 191
1x3 202

I am noticing significant strength gains and I am becoming more and more comfortable with my squats every session. Going A-to-A with 247 turned out to me more intimidating then difficult. I did not find myself straining for all four reps, they all seemed strong. I noticed a slight lean/bend at my hips while I was standing with 247 but this has to be expected with fatigue. I will work on maintaing stricter form in the future.

Starting today I begin the rehab/nursing of my tweaked left rotator cuff. Under the advice of my wise friend from Cali, I will be scaling my workouts to be absent of fun. No shoulder use for the next 1-2 weeks until I feel it has healed. Lots of running, squating and sympathy for myself.

Sunday 8-9-09

Sleep:
7.5 hours

Eats:
8:30am: Zone Bar; 2p-2.5c-4f

11:30: Post workout 21g protein shake, .5 medium sweet potato, 6 macadamia nuts, 9 almonds; 3p-2c-9f

2:30pm: 3oz deli ham, 2 eggs, 1.25 cups spinach, 8 strawberries, .5 cup blueberries, 1 small avocado, 12 almonds; 4p-4c-12f

9:00pm: 5oz steak, 1.25 cups broccoli, 9 cherries, 8 strawberries, .5 avocado, 1 tablespoon mayo; 5p-4c-15f

TDB: 19p-16-55f

Workout:
9:15am:
Skill work: Snatch
2x3 position snatch 44kg
2x3 50kg
2x1 60kg

I am in love with the snatch. Today I snatched 60kg and felt like my form was damn good (even though Maiko said that I looked horrible! I sensed some sarcasm, I hope). I did not finish my pull but I credit this to the lack of weight on the bar. Mike told me he does the same thing, but, when I get more weight I will really have to finish my pull to have a chance. My form tends to get better with each increase in weight. I feel 100% more comfortable with the snatch every session.

Met-Con
21-15-9 with 25lb weight vest
pull ups
ring dips
walking lunges

7:37

All of the pull-ups and walking lunges were unbroken. The ring dips gave me fits, for there was several times I could not count partial reps due to no lockout. They took the majority of the time.
