Believe…In the resolute urgency of now

August 20, 2007 at 4:34 pm (Life, Training)

So the last post was pretty vain and I can’t say much more for my weekend.  Today is two weeks plus a day until my butt is back in classes so this past weekend I spent some serious time with my mom.  Got a pedicure, got my haircut (finally, it had been a year since I’ve had a real cut…don’t ask), stocked up on groceries and fresh veggies.  Things I don’t always get to do being a regular bus rider and student.  I’m working on cleaning up my diet even more than it has been, so I got a bunch of turkey from “The Turkey Shop” out by where my Mom lives and now it’s frozen in my freezer.  The funny thing is I used to work at “The Turkey Shop,” handling raw meat was not as fun as it looks.  So I sympathize with all the high school kids there toiling away scooping ground turkey.

Training on Friday was pretty good.  I worked from the hang and pushed a little bit in the power clean and squat portions.  The last two sets for each were increased after I asked coach if it would be alright.

Power Snatch from hang up to 50 x 2 for 4
Power Clean from hang up to 60 x2  for 2 sets, 65 x2 for 2 sets
Back Squat up to 95 x 4 for 2 sets, 105 x 4 for 2 sets
Snatch Pull 75 kg x 3 for 3 sets  

Post scheduled workout I did a few presses with 35 kgs, then some romanian deadlifts with 65kgs and then some extra power cleans with  65 working on speed.  I was also stalling waiting for my friend to meet me post football training camp, they’re on two-a-days for the next little while.

Sunday I fit in a quick cardio workout, taking advantage of the fact I life on a mountain and near a university that is built into the mountain I used the hills and stairs for an extra boost…my legs hurt more than heavy squats.
