I'm getting really tired of writing how disappointed I am with my nutrition slip-ups, so I've decided to just report my workouts for awhile.

Saturday's WOD was "Are We There Yet?," which was originally supposed to be

100 each of:
Dumbell snatch each side, 25 lbs
Box jumps, 20 in
Thrusters, 55 lbs
Pull Ups

in 24:55

I scaled the number of movements down to 50 for all of the exercises, and did half the pullups with a blue band and the other half with a green band. Got totally worked by the thrusters, which as Dan put it, was "really when the workout began." Did them all in extremely painful sets of 5, but was glad to do so with the heavy weight. I am feeling like I'm becoming stronger, especially in my upper body.

I then spent Saturday afternoon at the Olympic Lifting seminar, which was fun. I ended up not doing any of the movements with real weight, as my back was super tight after the deadlifts on Friday and the Saturday morning WOD, but I really enjoyed doing the progressions with PVC. We never really do snatches in the WODs, so it was fun to go over the movement in some depth. I think I actually ended up more sore from holding my squats in the bottom position
during the seminar than from the WOD.

Sunday was a rest day. Monday will likely end up being a rest day too, given my schedule.
