I started the zone diet today:

BMI: 18%
Activity Level: Active.

Rx’d Blocks: 18 broken up as (5 + 2 + 5 + 1 + 5 + 1)

I’m quite surprised at how much food is involved and allowed per block! Energy was high throughout the day, Can’t wait to see how it translate to performance in Oly class. Shoulder still bugging though.

Power Jerk: Shoulder felt horrible during the jerks. Not sure how i re-injured it, but I had to stop and restart a few times. I think I need to get more mobility in. Taking an extra day of rest tomorrow to rest it.

Wednesday – Open Gym

Exercise Weight Reps Sets
Back Squat 255 5 5
Hang Clean (mid thigh) 150 3 2
165 3 3
Halting Clean Deadlift (hip) 185 3 1
195 3 2
Stiff leg Deadlift (on plate) 210 5 3

Anxiety: 0 Great day!

Reflection: Squats were taxing, Shoulder felt marginally OK. I’m still quite diligent about getting that mobility in before working out. Again I felt a little rushed in the gym, I think it’s because I spend so much time on the squats, specifically the warm-up sets. You can’t just jump to 255 and not be nervous about hurting something on that first rep!  So I end up spending almost half the session on squats. I was hoping to do a 7 min WOD at the end but there was no time. 

Overall the session was pretty good.

Tall Jerk 95 5 3
Muscle Clean + Tall Clean 115 3 3

Anxiety: 0

Reflection: Went to physio today for my shoulder, whatever magic Vanessa did… give me more of it! Shoulder felt amazing in class today. No pinch or pain at all. As a result, I was really able to focus on driving the bar vertically and getting my head through. I thoroughly enjoyed the class tonight as well, it was quite helpful with vertical shin position and transition to the bottom compounded with building speed to get under lifts. Bring on that rest day!
