5-8
  Well crossed the 230lb plateau today for the first time. It feels good to know that I've managed to drop nearly 40+ lbs in just over 4 months. Crazy stuff. In terms of training I definitely feel good, most notably in the endurance things now. Funny thing is strength is still there, that last time I dropped sub-230lbs I lost.

AM WOD-Snatch progress, 10min to work to heavy snatch, 215lb easy, failed on 225lb, dropped it right in front of me. Felt good though, fairly certain could have nailed it on second attempt but ran out of time. I failed on 215lb last year solely oly training so felt good a year later and 10 lbs lighter to nail it.

PM WOD- 60 sec Airdyne 30 sec rest 60 sec rower x 10, this was terrible. Good Lord, worst thing I've done in awhile, but was happy to see the progress and glad to have something that could actually wear me out this week. Will see how it affects the assessment tomorrow. All in all awesome.

WOD-MAP
 8 min AMRAP
   5 HSPU 10 pull ups 10thrusters 95 lbs -4 rounds
8 min AMRAP
  30 DU, 20 squats, kb snatch 1.5 pood -3.75 rounds 
8 min AMRAP
  5 burpee boxjumps 20", 10 pushups, 15 kbs 2 pood-5 rounds

Bfast-2 eggs, 2 strips bacon, 1 cup hash brown, 2 blueberry pancakes


Felt a little sluggish today, the MAP was harder than I initially thought, definitely went out to fast on that last round. Think I was a little sluggish due to doing both my WODs yesterday at the same time as well as staying out late on Friday night. Feel good otherwise, definitely think I'm at the breaking point with everything. Just gotta tip the right way, and get things set up back home. Think the other stuff in life  may be having an impact because of the graduation, partying and moving. Still got everything in WOD wise over the weekend. Ok deuces all, thanks bunches.

  Pre-WOD-12 oz coffee, I need my ass to wake up a little bit

 WOD-5x5 at 100kg tempo squats 6.1, these were one of the most terrible things I have ever done in a long while. Legs and core felt like jelly when I went down on that last set.
  5x60 sec sprint 120 sec active rest, legs were shot, but consistently made it 275-300 meters, which is good, legs still felt pretty week
3 min accumulated FLR-yup as terrible in life as it looks on paper, great to be done with it though

Post WOD-20g protein 40 g carbs

PM WOD-20 min run at 85%
                  20 min run at 90%


Feeling good about the progress I have made in the gym, it definitely has helped the self confidence with shedding weight, getting stronger and generally feeling better about everything in life. Thanks PB for laying down the plan. I know you only contribute the plan and I have to follow through but it's a hell of a lot easier to follow through with the results I've seen. Strong work. Gonna have a beer tonight after all is said and done.

PB-strong work on making me feel great on a daily basis and the fact that I miss the gym after not being there for 2 days is pretty awesome.
WOD-20on/10off Tabata ring pushups x8-this sucked, I felt terrible on it, but hey that's what it's all about
15 min amrap 3 CTB pullups and 15 sec accumulated L sit, 10 rounds. The L sit killed me, not really a fun little exercise definitely was the portion that worked me over. Good times pull ups were the easy part

5-1-12
Pre-WOD-2 Beta alanine, 20 g protein 40 g carbs
WOD 50 Power hang cleans 155 lb felt good 3:55 for time, grip went out at the end 50 burpees for time 3:24, just kept moving, made me happy that I was faster than before
