people are willing to read my statements of purpose
and so i shall send them
after i do this snatch / cnj workout
it's been two weeks since i did the lifts
for the past two weeks, only doing one full body strength workout
but both of those were almost good enough to compensate, so i'm happy about that
technique gains are seriously being made in the upright olympic squat
which is super atg btw
last friday:
push press
45x5
75x5
95x5x2
115x4x2
125x4x2
135x4x5
155x0 (knee re-bend), 155x1
lol, can push this much harder, i will push press 185 soon
back squat
185x5x2
205x5x2
225x5
255x3
275x2x2 - on both sets the first rep rocked and the second rep slipped
bench - benching with math phd dude who is probably in his head pissing himself laughing at my lifts
45x5
135x5x2
155x5
165x5x2
could have done 1-2 more sets of bench easily but was saving gas in tank for pull -
clean pull - im trying to do that 3x shrug shit after the last rep like i see lifters do
135x5
185x3
225x3
275x3
315x3
340x1x2 also could have done 1x5 here at least but 2.5 hours in the gym cmon yo
(all double overhand hook grip btw)
no assistance OR stretching don't tell michael
neglecting my core
today:
got lemon-ginger tea before the gym at slc because my stomach hurts - dairy and gluten consumption was liberal over the weekend, I'm going to see someone tomorrow morning about a solution to my intolerance - google BIE for some desperate new age BS - health industrial complex; speaking of which debated getting a caffeinated chocolate bar (to be more alert? who the fuck knows) but realized i don't need that much more of that drug and it doesn't help me much
The woman at the slc international news counter is like the cashier version of my counselor: old, white (probably gaelic/irish), gentle, enthusiastic, supportive. I thought about the dark haired woman who used to be the cashier there; in my fourth year it looks like she (was) transferred to the math CND and seemed more rushed, less happy, etc. there.
just thinking this blog could be a good 'organizing prinipal' to get other shit down, idk, i have a number of systems for capturing thoughts and data on things but they all fail @ some point, so we'll see how long I care about this. Pulled the switcheroo on michael - he probably thought he wouldn't have to listen to me yammer on as much if I blogged instead of just messaging him re: lifting - now he'll have to hear even more of my thoughts!
warmup: a bit of rolling all around, mainly to get upper body going and target glute as the only limitation to perfect bottom squat position
snatch
....
95x3x3
115x3x3
125x1, callus tore on each hand, and one internal blood blister under the callus, goddamnit
nav tells me about some potato peeler device for removing calluses
also my shins were already poorly covered with (layers) of tape and i tore off a hairy bunch of tape and nav said i looked like the movie the mummy
and i said but not like the rock
125x2 ugh starting to feel bad and weak
115x3x2 banged pelvis on last rep
this entire time my right trap is screaming out for attention, i got hungry hansen to shove his elbow in there which helped, but i basically think i didnt warm up enough or mobilize enough and this would affect also my clean and jerk, i let nav show me a trick with a ball + dowel that enhances the standard ball to trap, felt pretty heavenly, and also sad
cnj
up to 95 x 3x3,
115x3x3
135x3x3
145x2x2 started to feel slow and uneven on my right (re: trap, shoulder), like, bar flew up up to this point and then i started getting tired and sore
135x2, 135x1
is that enough volume? I wish I had lifted more but need to warmup carefully. when it's busy i try to grab a platform right away and warmup with the bar, lol, stupid,
also fyi i woke up at 4:30 this morning to drive back from toronto, probably slept 6h or less, excuses
hungry hansen asked if id (and michael'd) be willing to take on the uw wl club bc they need more experienced ppl and he will be gone next semester
like lmao ok sounds fun but i can't really commit
do i even go here lol
finished with stirring the pot - (10 rotations x each direction) x 3
did some banded shoulder shit
one set of pushups between blocks
watched zammar fool around trying to get a weighted belt going for that squat exercise shit
something something
weak legs lever arm something something
overall this session was a 5/10, i could be doing better
~2 hours; if i was willing to do 2.5 to 3 i could do better
food today:
random food in morning (5am): one boiled egg, some chips, a clementine or two
10am: small cup of chips (shhh) and an orange
lunch: large green salad (arugula kale brussel sprouts red cabbage etc), chick peas, chill vinaigrette
1 carrot
2-4pm: more chips (shhh)
4:30: small leftover chick peas from lunch, 1 scoop of vegan protein (hemp, soy, maybe rice in there too) (20g), 1 carrot (some chips [shh]),
drank total of 3-4 coffees today, from new fancy eco beans i bought, and i didnt even like the coffee, wtf, couldnt even enjoy that smoky boldness that helps me thru my misery
>too much coffee (needs to go down to 1-2 instead of 3-4)
>not enough water (drank probably 2l of just water MAX, if that, needs to be 4+litres)
dinner: SOGO cumin lamb (spicy) with rice, "traditional chinese crepe"
craving a coke or a soda, weird, yesterday ksenija asked me how much i drank it and i said like once a month max, and then i was having one, and i want one now
i rate this blog post 5/10
