Long Day

Thursday:

Went to the 6am class at CFC. Got to bed about 8:45pm on Wednesday night and woke up around 4:30am--I usually never get 8 hours anymore so I felt great as I headed out.

6:00a, CFC:

Strength:

Before class did 3x3 snatch grip DL 135-145-155.

Snatch balance work. Just did a number of sets and reps at #95. Weight was pretty light for me, but I haven't really practiced this movement. Concentrated on getting down into the squat from the drop instead of easing into it. I feel like this is a big mental exercise as well, since dropping down under weight you're holding over your head doesn't feel like the most natural thing in the world. Good movement.

Conditioning

Metcon,

10 min AMRAP of 7 unbroken pullups / 7 unbroken burpees

10 full rounds + 7 pullups + 1 burpee (+#20 weighted vest)

Goal was 10 rounds, but this one was tough. Have been adding the vest to any workout with all bodyweight movements, and I think it has been paying off during other workouts. The pullups were fine, but burpees got tiring starting at the third round. The vest just seemed to suck me to the floor, so my sets were unbroken but definitely slow.

Thursday Diet:

4:45a: protein + water
7:00a: protein + water, protein bar
10:30a: 2 eggs, steak, 1/2 avocado
1:30p: potbelly's salad
5:30p: protein bar
8:30p: bag of jerky, mixed nuts

Left my place around 5:00a and didn't get back home from work until about 10:00p, so definitely a long day. Probably should have run out to Whole Foods next to my office to grab something for dinner, but was trying to finish up some work and had some snacks nearby.

Friday:

Active rest day--25 min run along the lake this morning.

Friday Diet so far:
7:00a: RTD protein shake
8:45a: protein meal bar (from my office's pantry--not paleo but like a zone bar)
10:00a: 2 eggs, turkey bacon, 1/2 avocado
1:30p: potbelly's salad
