the return

Tomorrow is the first day of classes. I haven't been posting here much, but I am going to get back into it. I'm quite lighter than I was before, weighing in at around 185. It's a good weight for me, but I'd like to get some of the strength back -- specifically with oly lifts.

I have been following OPT for the past week, but have not been posting it here. A lot of kettle bell work. A fun one was:

15 clean/jerk 135#
9 man makers 45# dbs
12 cj
12 mm
9 cj
15 mm

Took me 30 minutes, but it was good to start cleaning again. Oly lifting is going to take a few weeks to get used to, but I am going to try to get serious with my diet and training to start getting back to the numbers I was hitting last school year.

Today:

AM: run 5k; rest 1 hour; run 5k
PM: power snatch 3,2,1,1,1 for loads: 135, 155, 155, 155, 155, 155 (left some in the tank; technique work)

Daily report:

  • Mind: A little foggy. Diet hasn't been great. Hoping to improve here in the next few weeks.
  • Body: Sore legs, sore arms. A little light.
  • Spirit: Looking forward to my classes tomorrow. Great to be back at school.
