I drank some h20 and stretched out the cramp.
5x
1 minute of snatches
1 minute off.

5/4/3/2/1
TGUs with the 20.

I woke up the next morning and my erectors were so sore I could barely get out of bed. So I switched my "off" day from sunday to saturday, and did a lot of foam rolling and stretching.
Sunday morning I managed to get through my squat workout:
4@135
3@185
3@225
3@275
2@275
1@285

good mornings
5x4@275

and call it a day. Checking through the archives I've been hammering away without a formal deload week for a good long time. I was going to postpone it until the end of this month because I have a wedding to go to, but it's not going to happen that way. I have to go to Vegas for work tomorrow and wednesday, so this week is as good as any. I am still going to get in some speed work, and some KB work, just no ME work this week. Hopefully I will no longer feel golden brown and delicious.

In which I flirt with the boundries of TMI.

Lets start with last nights workout:
Speed bench:
10x3@155 +bands
Hang Snatches:
40kgx5
50kgx4
60kgx1 (major accomplishment for me)

Close grip Floor press:
4x4@185

Roman chair medicine ball tosses:
10lb ballx 20/15/10

Ok last chance..
I mean it...
If Christine can talk about fem. hygiene products,
and SJ can talk about.. well, things that cannot be mentioned..
I can talk.. jock itch.
It's annoying, and I have it.
This means I have to trade my boxer briefs in for 2 weeks of tighty whiteys, and washing my wedding tackle with dandruff shampoo (which has remarkable anti-fungal properties, and leaves you feeling minty fresh.. As SJ would say "try some Today!")
Such is life as a biped.
Sigh.

If you suck at something, it means you need to do it more.

I honestly believe that (at least in the world of fitness) .
I also believe that very few things in life can't be solved by "I will work harder." You just have to make sure you're working in the right direction.

I suck at KB snatches, so after a few swings and cleans to get a sweat going:
Snatches with the 20kg,
10x10/10: R-30sec
That one almost had me.

You're a big LOSER!

I really like the biggest loser.. or at least I did when it was a meritocracy. It actually shows people, that 1) you can lose a sick amount of weight. 2) that sheeot ain't easy. Too many people want to drop lbs without the drop and give me 20. It's not going to happen. It takes effort. I really enjoy seeing people work hard, build self esteem and create a connection with their bodies. Good stuff.

Last nights workout:

squats
8x3@205+chains

Deads:
5x2@315
all with 1 minute rest.

In which I am a good american.

I feel like I spent a lot of money this weekend.. and I did.. for me.
Friday I bought a spanking new 20kg/44lb kettlebell. I put him to work that night:
swings
10/10
1min rest
20/20
ditto
30/30
..
40/40
...
50/50
lay down on the floor and twitch.
I did 3-4 sets of 10, 2 handed clean and jerks with the 20 in one hand and the 16 in the other (switching every 5) Afterwards I nicknamed the 44 pounder "dirty Harry"

Saturday, was a pretty lazy day. No working out. We fired Bank of America for having crappy customer service, and Had dinner with some family.

Sunday, Big squat day:
Ohs 2x5@45
box squats 14" box:
5@135
5@185
3@225
2@275
1@335 (PR) total grinder, but I got it.
My legs still keep selling out my glutes so I have to do a "Good morning" to finish the lift. I have to work on my hip mobility, and get my glute strength up.
After the workout we went to REI and I picked up a new pair of Sanuk shoes.
Sanuks are great because they're a canvas upper on a flip-flop sole. Protection of a shoe, with the freedom of a flop.

Yesterday was heavy uppers:
bench:
5@45
5@95
4@135
2@185
2@185
2@205
2@205

chins

1A OHP

Y-T-Ws

Kneeling ball slams with 12 lb med ball
kneeling ball throws also with 12 pounder.

It's not ideal to do my two heavy workouts right in a row like that, but It had to be done.
I don't really feel all that much the worse for wear for it.
Hope you had a good weekend.
