Sun & Rain :
It looked like it would rain, I stepped outside, it started to lightly rain.
“Shoot”, I think to myself, “I guess I’m not hitting that 135lb power snatch amrap”.
It rains for five minutes, and “to give me vitamin d” the sun comes back out.
Thinking I’d not lift because of the rain isn’t like me, I’ve lifted in the rain, and while it has snowed before, but the sun coming back out…I couldn’t just stretch my tight lats while getting shirtless sunlight, had to lift…
Funny, it wasn’t the snatch amrap.
Lifting :
Press :
115-200 singles at every 5lb jump
That’s 18 c&p singles so far, more heaves/cleans than I’d usually hit at one per set.
I heaved until about 180lbs, at which point I switched to power cleans.
This is done about as fast as the plate changes until about 180lbs, with the 35s never coming off, and today I did not bother clipping it until again, about 180lbs.
Press w/Power Jerk Set Extender :
205lbs x 1pc+2p+5j
The first four jerks were not push presses, but used very little lower body, the fifth jerk used considerable hip power.
This bar has no whip, like 1800s germans doing continentals would be lifting on.
Press :
7x165lbs
Eating :
I’m sipping water, reading, writing for awhile, then after showering up I’ve got some italian sausage to cook – lately I’ve started sprinting, mentally checked in to my intermittent fasting which has made it more purposeful than sheer laziness, I’ve taken the action of upping the amount of meat I eat.
Dinners are meat.
This is ;
•breaded chicken a few times a week over carbs, and with cheese cause the meat is low fat
•bacon cheeseburgers, no bun, few veggies, a few times a week, maybe with mashed potatoes which I mix a bunch of sour cream into, again upping the saturated fat
It’s all about the saturated fat.
•steak once or twice a week, generally without carbs other than from the milk I drink alongside all meals
Persistence & Tenacity
