"When one has made a decision...even if it will be very difficult to succeed by advancing straight ahead, it will not do to think about going at it in a long roundabout way. One's heart may slacken, he may miss his chance, and by and large there will be no success. The Way...is one of immediacy, and it is best to dash in headlong"

Weekend

Good weekend of workouts. Also managed to only have one cheat meal, which is much better than a normal weekend.

Saturday Workout, 11/20 @ CFC, 10:00a:

Strength: 20 rep back squat @ #205

Tough but felt good, think I could maybe go +#10. Hamstrings have been smoked Sunday and today.

Mainsite Metcon,
Seven rounds for time of:
5 Handstand push-ups
185 pound Deadlift, 10 reps
10 Chest to bar pull-ups
20 Double-unders

Time: 14:34

Harder than it looked on paper. Thought I would be in the 10-12 minute range, but the deadlift / CTB combination completely killed my grip. First round was in a minute and it went downhill from there.

3 rounds, 10 burpees/box jumps: 1:18

Saturday Diet:
9:00a: protein shake
11:00a: Clif Builder protein bar
12:30p: three eggs (2 yolk), chicken sausage
4:00p: chipotle salad--barbacoa, guac, pico de gallo, lettuce, fajita veggies
3:00a: 1 slice of pizza at Bacci

Went out Saturday night.

Sunday Workouts

12:00p @ FFC

Bench Press, 3x3 @ #205

Body was feeling pretty wrecked Sunday from a night out and the workout on Saturday--forearms and biceps shot, legs tight. Will go for #215 next time.

Double under work and foam rolling. Tried to get a good sweat to feel a bit better.

6:00p @ CFC

Olympic lifting open gym. Worked mainly on clean and jerks at a light weight. Starting to get better at eliminating the hitch in my pulls, and then focused on getting lower on my jerk. Only went light @ #155, but probably did about at least 20-30 reps. Will go heavy later this week when I'm fresh.

Sunday Diet:
11:00a: protein shake
1:00p: Whole Foods--1/2 lb. brisket, salad
5:00p: sirloin steak, handful of nuts
8:30p: sirloin steak, 10-15 shrimp

Came close to another cheat post lifting, as I was starving and wanted a Chipotle burrito. Was able to stay good and had shrimp waiting for me when I got home.
