Fail?

Well, you know those days when life just happens? Today was one of those and I wanted it to be a perfect training day, but that would not be real. I arrived home and warmed up for a bit and went after my power snatch (remind you I hate Olympic Lifts). I did my three sets of touch and go power snatches at #105lbs. Pathetic I know but that is the goal here to improve that number as well as others. The issue is more technique then strength (video to follow when I have a cameraman).

Shortly after my snatches my buddy and sometime workout partner Brad showed up and wanted to help me install the Stud bar pull-up bar I have. Well I couldn't refuse the help when it was available. 3 hours later the Stud bar is mounted with 7 out of 8 lag bolts being in studs. Apparently the first set of studs from the wall is oddly spaced. We then measured out further from the wall and thought we had it. but it turns out the stud runs somewhat diagonal. However with Brad's help we were able to get it up and secure (or so I hope). Brad had to run at that point and I have a staff meeting with my night crew at 9pm, so it was some light skill work on the movements that were supposed to be in my workout. I can tell I will have to scale hand stand push ups in the beginning due to an old shoulder injury and the fact that I am still building strength back. Toes to Bar and Double unders are still looking strong and should be o.k. when I make this workout up, possibly Wednesday.

as far as food for today, I had three eggs scrambled with a tomato, V8, a pack of emergency and a cup of coffee with coconut milk for breakfast. Lunch was some pork loin and fresh broccoli, dinner was chicken salad and fresh asparagus. We will see what the post meeting snack brings for us. Wish me a better training day tomorrow. 

Well it's up now!
