Seems like I get to Monday each week ad wonder how my diet and training seemed to go all wonky.
Well mostly my diet.
Weight this morning 90.7 - I think a bit of this is due to the sweat released on the WOD
Having difficulty with my left hand - it needs strapping to firm it up to be able to hold the bar overhead
6.00am was Snatch 1RM and then a WOD 15 AMRAP
I did technique work on the Snatch $0/45kg of high hang to work on speed of the last pull and getting under quickly
15 AMRAP
- 100m run
- 10 bar burpees
- 10 SDHP 30kg
- 10 Thrusters 30kg
Did just over 4 rnds
The thrusters were hard with the hand injury -Can't grip the bar enough to aggressively do the thrusters. Pity cause my running and burpees were great. SDHP was OK - need to work on those...

Diet is the biggest challenge
My workout effectiveness is getting better
My "engine" is stronger - doing a 15min WOD I can keep the energy throughout and have enough to push harder in final minutes
BUT - I need to be a little lighter for those body-weight exercises
Weight this morning 91.8kg - must get it down to below 88 before the Feb comps...
My body shape feels good, but...
I have done 6.00am class for last three days
Monday - DeadLifts - did a PR 165kg (15min WOD)
Tuesday - 35min cut Barbara - managed 4 rounds - would have needed another 3 min to finish this
Wednesday - Back Squat 3 rep sets plus ME 110kg 7 reps and 15min WOD 5 C&Js + 10 TTB (6 rounds)
All good stuff

Friday again - end of first week back
Not quite finished for the week - at least 1-2 more exercise related things to do

WOD 15min AMRAP
- 20 Wall Balls
- 8 C&Js 40kg
managed 6 complete rounds
Weight 90.6 after that...

So that was Christmas - welcome to 2014
Last weight recording was 89.6 on the 18th
Yesterday (7th Jan) 92.3kg so nearly 2.5kgs added over the break - not bad for all that drinking and bad food choices!!
This morning 91.1kg - clean eating and back into exercise is working
Started the prep work for The Open on Monday
Monday 6.00am class plus early afternoon weight session(Calstrength) program
Tuesday 12.15 class "Sweat Buster" 33min - lots of DU's awesome
Today(Wednesday) 6.00am class so far - think I will rest for the balance of this day, a my body still in shock from the Xmas/NY break. Will do todays strength program tomorrow, and then Fridays program on Saturday (at this stage)
