Tough Friday

Today at work wasn't so laborious, it was a much more planned and executed day. I took a good lunch with steamed broccoli with olive oil, uncooked sesame oil and garlic, smoked salmon, raw yogurt & huckleberries, mixed unsalted nuts, an avocado and my vitamins. Still I felt lethargic and even unfocused at times, I did skip the coffee again this morning, my lunch has changed substantially and I have had a couple of very physical days this past week at work. However, I'm getting excellent sleep, plenty of minerals & vitamins, fish oil and good fats. I think its just my body readjusting to my new diet and learning how to work with it, it has only been 5 days.

I got home and lounged around, had coffee and ended up eating a big snack of cheese slices & peanut butter plus a couple of Leslie's cookies and that seemed to conk me right out. For about the next hour and a half I tried to get myself into the mood but it finally took me going downstairs to get heated up.

Did my warm-up:

50 x 20lb d-ball slams
30 pull -ups
50 x 45lb thrusters (these sucked today!)
20 dips (first time all consecutive)
2 min intense skipping
20 hand stand push-ups

Good stretch, getting the splits down and another 30 overhead squats.

I did the Burgener warm-up to get my shoulders limber for all of the olypmic snatch I was about to perform, the bar was feeling about right but I noticed a lack of grip strength, due to yesterdays WOD maybe?

THE WOD:
12 x 65lb Olympic snatch
10 push-ups

Goal: 18 rounds
Actual: 17 rounds and 3 reps of the Snatch

It went well though I think I made a mistake by not putting more into it at the start. The snatches were excellent and were coming smoothly and I was landing them in a good catch, I wouldn't hesitate to say that my technique under the high intensity of the WOD to be very good.

Tomorrow I'm building my squat rack so Leslie and I can have a fun day of Squats. Later I'm heading out for a bit of hunting, hopefully I'll get some more meat for the freezer.
