Back to the grind

Well, I am home. Let me tell you I used to enjoy air travel, but I hate it so much now. No even the travel part, the part that people refuse to take care of themselves as humans. People are so overweight they can barely breathe or walk through the airport. I would consider that as something rude to say, but since I am a believer that 90 percent of the time it is a personal choice, I don't care. Also, I had some fraudulent credit card charges on my statement this morning, so I will get to spend the remained of the day on the phone with the bank I am sure.

Anyways, New England was beautiful and the games were a great experience, tailgating is pretty fun, almost as good as the Nascar crowd. As far as workouts there we went to globo gym and I had to do press I couldn't remember the numbers so I did 3x3x3 @135, I did this as a super set with pull ups. I then helped coach my buddy on his O-lifts.

Today I forced myself to get up, as it is officially day one of not being an excuse making bitch. I felt stiff from the plane rides so I rowed for 5 minutes and foam rolled my lower body. I then did my back squats 5,3,1 190, 205, 240. I hit five on my last set, I am still struggling somewhere in between HBBS and LBBS and it is throwing me off balance, I may need to send you a video.

To catch up this week I did press as well for my 5,3,1 week I did 105, 120 and 135 with 5 on the last set. I played with a wider grip than normal today, I didn't feel as strong but I think it ill be a little more beneficial in the long run.

For conditioning I did today's off season CFFB wod. 7 rounds of 3 power snatches and 250 m row. I have really spent a lot of time improving bar speed and technique on my O-lifts and refuse to go heavy and sacrifice form, so I scaled today to 95lbs, that was a mistake, I should have started at 135 and scaled down if needed. On a positive note, my power cleans were pretty flawless. I am excited to be back on track with you conditioning wise after this week, and yes we have nowhere to go but up.
