Deadlift, GH Situps

21:00

Warmup (Rope climbs, Threw around lacrosse ball, Running)

3 rounds of:
10 Deadlifts
30 GHD situps
For time: 6:59 @ 225 lbs

Daily report
  • Body: Sore. Especially in my back. A little sick.
  • Sleep: Poor. 6 hours.
  • Nutrition: Okay. So it turns out that stir fry last night was about 10 degrees too hot. Today was a little uncomfortable.
  • Notes: Just a quick one from the main site today. Not sure if it was my poor diet or the cleans from  yesterday that put me out but I was groggy today. Probably a little of both on top of the stress of finals. No excuses, I'll be back into the swing once I'm home for break. By the way, here are some times and weights to compare my time to:
    Mikko Salo 3:54 at 315lbs, Michelle Kinney 4:23 at 205 lbs, Leah Polaski 4:24 at 187lbs, Dave Lipson 5:02 at 455lbs, Tim Burke 5:51 at 315lbs, James Hobart 5:59 at 300lbs, Rob Orlando 6:08 at 315lbs. 
    Very, very humbling.
  • Cool link of the day: 10 things you didn't know about sound. Very interesting commentary. This one is especially fascinating-- 
    1.) You are a chord. This is obvious from physics, though it's admittedly somewhat metaphorical to call the combined rhythms and vibrations within a human being a chord, which we usually understand to be an aesthetically pleasant audible collection of tones. But "the fundamental characteristic of nature is periodic functioning in frequency, or musical pitch," according to C.T. Eagle. Matter is vibrating energy; therefore, we are a collection of vibrations of many kinds, which can be considered a chord.
    This raises an important question: As our eating gets further from our paleolithic roots, are our bodies thrown off pitch?
