2/2/2011

I felt good when I woke up. I got up a little earlier than usual, I slept 7 1/2 hours. I weighed myself today also. I always weigh myself in the morning on an empty stomach. I weighed in at 188 today. A brief history of my weight:

7/2010 - 186.5 - I was significantly weaker and doing a lot more aerobic stuff at this time.
11/2010 - 190.4 - Since the July weigh in I've set a PR in ever major lift.
2/2/2011 - 188 - I look leaner than I ever have and I'm stronger than I've ever been. I'm happy with where my weight is now. I'd like to lose another 2-3 lbs by March 1st.

The workout today was:

20-15-10

225 lb Dead Lifts
70 lb Russian KB Swing (arms parallel to ground, not overhead/American style swing)
Burpees

Rest 5-10 minutes then:

185 lb Bench Press 5 x 5 with 1,2,3,4,5 185 lb Power Clean Chaser - Rest is partner's set.

I felt decent on the first workout. I didn't get all the dead lifts through like I wanted to. It was good conditioning though. The second part of the workout was actually significantly more difficult than the first part. I did not feel well on the bench or the power cleans. I can usually power clean 185 like it's nothing, but I just didn't have much energy toward the end of the session today. I'm going to rest this afternoon and all day tomorrow. Friday and Saturday are both extremely challenging WODs. I took a video of the WOD, but it ended up being too large to add to the blog. I will use a lower video quality setting in the future for longer WODs so the videos are of adequate size.
