tough but good.

Tough start today. worked early and straight through with a lot of bodywork and stretching of clients. The static hold positions are what get me. When I move I feel better.Also probably not eating enough as I was feeling a bit week at noon.Homflecker says to cycle though higher protein/fats and higher carbs emphasis on the main meal and I have been doing more dairy proteins and grains and less green veggies. also much less dessert and I feel weaker! LOL! Its the old powerlifter in me.ONe of the best parts of being a powerlifter was trying to get into the next weight class.

have to up my calories a bit for the next few days.Feel good strength wise but energy could be better.
ALso decided I do need a third workout as I didnt want to snatch again today, nor press on saturday. thought I would try hi pulls as that is a good balance between hips and upper back.


Snatch Hi Pulls
36x10/10
44x8/8
53x6/6
62x5/5
72x5/5
36x15/15
44x10/10
53x8/8
62x6/6
72x6/6
53x10/10
44x10/10
36x10/10

218 total reps in about 25 minutes.

I went at a leisurely pace,resting a minute or two; going when I felt ready to do the next set.too long a rest is no good either. I like training this way, I always have. Have to go at MY pace.time went fast, didnt seem like that many reps.

Bottoms up cleans
36x5/5
44x5/5
53x5/5
62x3/3 (easy)
44x5/5

I love this move but have to be careful not to get too cocky with it.

Farmers walk with X Vest
25 lb vest plus 2 36's

100 feet in rack
100 feet in suitcase

5 sets.

This was way tough as my knee was aching a lot. Too much time in my seiza kneeling chair I think.Its great for my knee and quad flexibility as well as a great postural chair but I think I've overdone it a bit.

The hi pulls were strong though.

Workout structure look solid.

I hear ya' on the food, all I want to do is get some heavy kbs ( doubles ), some more plates for my olympic set, and lift and eat. BUT I would end up being 400 lbs. LOL.
I don't know who said it on the forum, but basically, the thing you don't like is the thing you should be doing.
Like me in aerobic debt, I hate it, but I need it!!! LOL
