You say "fuck" a lot. I like it.
Oh, and PRs in both olympic lifts in the same session - not bad, either.

Disclaimer: all these lifts were done before 1pm
Intensity Day
Squat
45x2x5 95x5, 135x5, 185x3, 215x1
235x5
Felt all over the place and slow :/
Too much work done on wed.
Press
45x5, 60x5, 75x3, 90x2,
105x4
Are you kidding me?
I dunno. I mean - I was definitely fatigued when I went in to do this. I felt it in the warmup. I overdid Wednesday. Left trap is kind of bothering me again, I need to go in and get some body work done.
DL
135x4, 185x2, 225x1, 2x1
290x5
Think "chest out." (Thanks Niki.) This was pretty good today. Especially after all the frustration earlier in the workout I was determined to get my head back in the right space, and I did. I compared this to my 290 from Feb and it definitely looks faster. Lost my set on the last rep - but overall feel like I'm improving at holding it.
Overall I really hate intensity day, so far. I'm having a hard time adjusting to this low volume.. I'm a work horse, I like feeling like I've done a lot.
Sidebar: really, really hungry by the afternoon. I don't know if that's because Niki and I walked around too much or what.

Congrats on the Oly PR's! Well done. I know how good that feels
This is why we made such good training partners...
And yes, sir. I'm listening.
Thanks Gillian!! Hoping to get to some big numbers w/C&J this cycle.
Thanks Kim, it's been good training with you and Niki.
AND YES, the lots of walking happened AGAIN on Saturday.
I have been hungry for days.

HIIT erg
5 min warmup
[0:20 on // 2:00 off] x12
10 min cool down, average: I don't know. If was slow
Sprint average: 1:30.9
Splits: 1:37.0, 1:30.0, 1:29.2x2, 1:30.9, 1:30.0, 1:31.7, 1:30.9, 1:33.4, 1:28.4, 1:30.0
I felt like crap. It kinda took everything out of me to get this done. Feeling depleted.

Snatch
W/u shrugs, muscle snatch, progressive power to full snatch w/empty bar
3 hang snatches+full snatch : 65, 75
2 hang snatches +full: 85, 95, 105, 115.. Dropped back to 95 and did 4 more sets.
1 hr of practice. I was really tired for 105/115, wasn't moving fast enough under the bar. Video'd everything, so got some good feedback. Definitely lower than last week, just above parallel, not pulling into full snatch. But progress. In warmup I definitely felt myself snapping down fast enough that I could feel my arms pulling the bar down. Just need that at higher wt.
Mobility needs to be a focus this week, esp ankles/feet/calves. I like to talk about this, but am not always excellent at execution.
Felt hungry, tired last night. I woke up after 9 hours sleep, still drained. I think I'm feeling the caloric deficit.
