Reborn!!!!!!

Well yesterday I got stuck at work a little later than I wanted too, so I had to skip the workout, but let me tell you what I did do. I ate a bag of BBQ kettle chips and then went to California Pizza Kitchen for steak tacos and chips, which I then washed down with some frozen yogurt and gummy bears. Pretty much a strong mans perfect meal.

This morning I woke up a little later than I wanted too, but the sleep was needed. I headed down to the kitchen and started my day with 4 egg whites and 1 bowl of oatmeal. I gave myself an hour and a half to digest then hit the garage. I started with a five minute row and then warmed up with the pvc pipe for a bit, then did some work with just the barbell and then I got into my work sets.

I started with 3x5 snatch at 135, the weight was relatively easy for this number of reps, but i have a few weak spots to correct before moving up in weight. My second pull felt great and I really got my thighs to connect with the bar (a few reps I pulled to late and made contact a little too high, but i have focused on snatches for a while).

 I then moved to 4x5 snatch pulls at 185. Once again the weight was easy but I have a bad habit of muting my hips so I really wanted to ensure triple extension was reached each pull.

I then did 5x5 back squat at 185 with a 5 second pause in the bottom position. and to top it off I finished with 30 strict pull ups.

After that I hopped on the bike and rode for a bit and let me tell you that really burns the quads and knees, really feels good for the knees when I am done.

After all that I mixed a banana and some whey protein and ice and stretched out for a bit. I am tired and not used to that volume, but it feels great and my traps are already sore. I really enjoyed today and can't wait to continue.

This video helps me focus on really extending my hips while doing my O-lifts. Bounce that D.
