Today I actually felt like myself again after being here for 2 weeks. I felt pretty rested and I could finally breath again. Thank God!!! The last couple weeks have really sucked getting acclimated to the altitude and dry weather. However, it was the first day today in about a week where I didn't get woke up by mortar attacks. I hope it stay stays that way!!
Well here's the training:
TRAINING:
Strength:
A.) Completed the Front Squats at the Rep Scheme and percentages prescribed. Felt pretty good and last few sets were a little slower then the first 2 but still felt good with it. Percentages might be a little different now considering I haven't did any 1 Rep Max stuff in a little while.
OLYMPIC
B.) Hell yeah is all I have to say. Felt really good on the Hang snatches yesterday and felt really well today. Up until today the best Heavy snatch I have been able to get doing RAW is 155 LBS. Sucky!!! However, I finally broke that today and got 160LBS/72.72KG. I feel as though I will be able to get more and more by simply taking time a few times away besides the regular training to work more on technique and getting under the bar quickly and down in a full squat!!! I will be working on this more diligently!
C.) Didn't break a PR on this one, but did tie my PR at 225 for C&J. Felt really good with this as when I got here I was having a hard time getting just a clean at 190 (couldn't breath and muscles were not as use to the little oxygen) So, I take this as a sign that my body is finally adjusting and I should hopefully start seeing gains quickly. Can't wait to get back to California after this and then see if I see some bigger increases.
CONDITIONING:
This was no joke and neither was the rest I needed to take in order to make sure my time were close together. I did not have a prowler so I did sled pulls replacing the prowler and I had not Airdyne or Rower so I replaced it with 100 Double Unders.
Round 1: 4:18
Round 2: 4:41 (rest 5)
Round 3: 4:21 (rest 7:30)
Round 4: 4:33 (rest 7:30)
Round 5: 4:53 (rest 8) (this last round really sucked!!!)
Diet has been the same as usual. I try to drink a good amount of water around 90-100 oz a day while also drinking about 2 8 oz cups of coffee a day. I stick to as lean as meat as possible, a little hard out here but have been doing alright. Mainly Chicken, Steak, Beef Kabobs, Chicken Kabobs and Salmon and Trout a couple times a week. Luckily I am able to load up on vegetables every meal from the salad bar and I have a mixture of nuts and seeds in the trail mix for snacks. I am currently Taking Syntha-6 Protein, True Mass Protein, Cell Mass Recovery and Amino X all from BSN as supplements right now. They are not too bad but will be looking to replace the True Mass with a cleaner protein and hopefully the Syntha-6 as well.
