push press // snatch

Two days of Crossfit this week:

4-3-3-3 push press
165, 185, 205, 205 (felt heavy...)

25-20-15-10-5
push press 115#
pull ups
for time: 9:01 (pullups felt slow...)

yesterday:

5-4-3-2-2-2-2 snatch
135, 155, 165, 185, 195 (x1)

amrap 8 min
1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4...
deadlift 185
box jump 32"
for reps: though round of 11 + 1

notes:
mind: getting there. eating more paleo but need to start the day off better. too many calories late at night and not enough in the beginning and middle of the day. weight has been good at around 185-188 but energy levels could be better by eating less late and better quality early.
body: sore as crap in my lat's and shoulders. creating supplementation has helped with WOD's and yoga recovery. speaking of which i have been doing yoga 2-3x a week.
spirit: about to finish Don Quixote. Great book. one of my favorite quotes:
“All I know is that while I’m asleep, I’m never afraid, and I have no hopes, no struggles, no glories — and bless the man who invented sleep, a cloak over all human thought, food that drives away hunger, water that banishes thirst, fire that heats up cold, chill that moderates passion, and, finally, universal currency with which all things can be bought, weight and balance that brings the shepherd and the king, the fool and the wise, to the same level. There’s only one bad thing about sleep, as far as I’ve ever heard, and that is that it resembles death, since there’s very little difference between a sleeping man and a corpse”
Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, Don Quijote de La Mancha
"Essentially, not only do we believe in this myth of 'de-risking', but it has become the one overriding goal; de-risking above growth, de-risking above innovation, de-risking above everything else. And we've reached the point where the Fed is using $70 Billion a month to 'de-risk' a largely insolvent banking system. And this can only end badly. The idea that you can do capitalism without risk is ridiculous on its face."
-- Andreas Antonopoulos on the financial industry and Bitcoin ( MadBitcoins Live: New York Bitcoin Hearings )
