Sorry allbodies. I took off last week for a somewhat impromptu trip up to NYC to visit my sister, and then she sort of spontaneously followed me back to DC for the 4th. She ended up joining me and Big L for the concerts and fireworks at the National Mall which was kind of fun. Got good seats on the lawn this time, as opposed to last year when I didn't know better and ended up pinned against one of the pillars of the Lincoln Memorial. Did Lyudmila drink too much Dos Equis and embarrass herself a little in front of my sister? Yes. "Welcome to cuatro equis!" It's fine.
Choice quotes from my sister later:
"LOLOL you do realize she's just a younger Russian version of mom, right? Loud, obnoxious, kind of entitled, probably the kind that gets off on emasculating her husband in front of the kids? Jesus Christ! Freud is fucking Oedipus up the ass right now and they're both crying out your name, you sick fuck."
"Uh did she really down four slices of pizza in the time it took you to eat two and me one???"
"Wait, you don't know what she looks like naked? WTF. It looks like you guys are basically married. Shit. Uh, tits? Do you at least know what her tits look like? No? Shit to tell mom or not tell mom..."
Anyway all this didn't leave time for training or internetting, it's fine. Unrelated: Lil L decided to take the rest of the week off and is now on some sort of solo vision quest driving through the hills of West Virginia. Just got a text from her about how she had to take a piss on the side of the road. I asked for pics, got no response. Maybe those guys from Deliverance got her or something.
Yesterday I did:
Clean:
20kg x many
40x3
60x3
70x3
80x2
90x1
95x1

Coach adjusted my 1st pull a bit to set up a better power position, which helped.
Today I did:
CJ
20kg x many
40x2
50x2
60x2
70x2
80x2
90x1
100x1

Coach was like, "uh...what kind of jump do you usually take from here?"
"No idea. I don't venture into this territory too much due to the shitty jerk."
"Screw it. 105 looked easy. Give me 115."
115x1
118x1
"Okay so want to do 120 and then toy with the idea of a PR?"
"Nah."
"Okay 122 then."
122x1 PR ta da....
I tried 124 after this but rushed the clean and missed it. Wanted to do it again figuring I could adjust but coach cut me off since the comp is next week and now is a bad time to tweak a wrist.
