Tues March 18/2008

Well back up to 168lbs from 165lbs last week. I'm thinkin its mostly just becoming more hydrated again from recovering from sickness. I'm hoping my weight levels off here...well I mean in a level ascending pattern...1/2lb-1lb per week would be great.


Deads
60kg x 5
80kg x 3
100kg x 2
120kg x 1
130kg 3x3

Well I figured since I could do 125kg 3x5 that this would be easy. I guess I didn't remember that I hadn't really done deads for 2 weeks and I hurt my back a little bit the last time. I think my back is fine after this one but it was a hell of push....or should I say "pull." lol

BB Military Press
-bar x 5
-65lbs x 4
-85lbs x 3
-105lbs x 1
-120lbs x5,4,3

Well looks like I shoulda made some 1.25lb plates. Couldn't quite do it today. That was upsetting. Stuck right back where I was stuck before I started cutting.


P.Rows
bar x 5
30kg x 4
40kg x 3
50kg x 2
60lg x 1
70kg 2x5,1x4

Well I hit the wall today. I think I was having a bit of an energy crisis. Thinking of things that could replace this exercise...

Snatch/Overhead Squat

20kg 2x5
25kg 1x5

I'm really starting to like working on the oly style lifts. The explosiveness gets my really sweating.

Hanging Leg Raises

bw 1x10,1x9,1x8

A bit better each time.


Side Bends (DB)
50lbs x 5
85lbs 3x10

Grip was really taking a beating today. All the pulling work happened today.


Diet

9:30am - 1 cup of oats, 1.5 scoops whey protein powder

11:00am- Workout

12:45 - PWO - 2 scoops gainer (~40g protein and 60g carbs I think...about 500 cals)

1:30pm - chicken breast in a wrap with spinach/pickles/olives and some veggies on the side

3:30pm - Spinach, can of tuna, mustard, italian dressing, almonds

5:30pm - burger with pickles and ketchup + a bowl of fruit salad


Thoughts

Well today was pretty much a lame day as far as energy levels. I'm really learning to hate P.Rows and really starting to like the snatch. I think I also waited too long between my first meal and my workout. It was 3 hours since I'd eaten by the end of my workout so I think that explains part of the energy problem.
