All business.

  • Jerk (3:00 rest)
    • 155 x 3
    • 195 x 2
    • 225 x 1
    • 245 x 1
    • 255 x 1
    • 265 x fail :(
  • Weighted dip (BW + 110 - 2:30 rest)
    • 8, 6, 6
  • Metcon - For time
    • 8-1 descending strict BW pullup
    • 1-8 ascending strict KB press (2 x 35#)

    I jerked the same weight as last time, so I'll assume you know how I feel about that.
    I added 5 lbs. to the weighted dips and banged out a couple extra reps but I'm not sure of my body weight at this point. Either way, I'm getting toward the heaviest available dumbbell (125) so that's a little bit of an ego boost. The metcon had me breathing heavily without a lot of movement; I'll credit that to prefatigue. I set a goal about half-way through to finish it in 5 minutes but the end took a bit longer and I completed the series in 5:21. If I tried this fresh I could probably finish it in 3:30 or so. Perhaps I'll try that sometime.

    PWO was whey and a potato again (this time with a little salsa) at about 6:20. Citing an overabundance of leafy greens in the fridge, I had two monster salads for my meals.

    7:30 - 1/2 lb. 93/7 ground beef cooked in coconut oil, ~2 cups butter nut squash, steamed broccoli and kale, Frank's Red Hot. I added a little too much hot sauce and ended up throwing in about 2 cups of spring mix to dull the flavor.
    9:40 - ~8oz. chicken breast with tomatoes and mushrooms cooked in coconut oil, 1 can of raw beets, raw orange pepper, spinach and spring mix, 1/2 avocado and chipotle salsa. This was one of the best salads I've had in a while.

    Following the starch-laden PWO snack, I emphasized protein and maintained a balance of fat and carbs. Took my vitamins with the second meal as usual. I was really full from all the fat and fiber, and fell asleep in 2 minutes flat. Woke up feeling very refreshed, and I can't wait to pound some egg yolks today.
