Notes:
Snatch - I was just messing around today while waiting for the rower to open up lower back was tight from deadlifts so I just used the bar. Split style felt very weird just wanted to try it out.
Row with traveling burpee - I spent about 10-15 seconds messing with the feet straps so that was added rest time, I tried it without using the foot straps and it felt really awkward.
Tabata planks - OUCH my stomach spasmed and just felt like one huge cramp.

Reading Goal for February

Last year sometime Alwyn Cosgrove wrote something talking about his reading habits and how he tries to read 1 fitness related or business related book a week. After thinking about this and thinking of how much better off a person would be if they stuck by that simple rule. Starting this month I'm going to read 1 fitness related book per month, along with my sci-fi books that I can't stay away from!

January 2007 - Lights Out


Reading right now - Core Performance Essentials and Spin. After I finish those books I'll post a review here.

Notes:
-New Rules of Lifting Strenght II workout C
-Deadlifts - Complete reset method like the last time I did workout C, meaning I'd completely put the bar down and re-position myself for each heavy rep. I'll try to go up to 305 or 310 next time
-Rack Deadlifts - 1st set was kind of shaky, the 2nd set was great the 3rd set I felt weak so I stopped rather than try to deadlift with poor form.
-Bulgarian Split squat - 25 was a good weight, perhaps start with 25 next time and go up to 30?
-Face pull - done with pronated grip it was supposed to be done with a nuetral grip though...oops
-2K Row - I need to row more the correct rowing form is still not intuitive, I'm still struggling to make sure I drive more with my legs before pulling with my arms. I'm also rushing the recovery too much. I do like my 4 second improvement though, I'd say that the raching start helped with that a little

February 1, 2007

I've been really skimping on my met/con this week and I won't be able to hit the gym today so I can make it home in time to watch the baby. I really need to workout when I get home but sometimes it's so hard motivating myself at home, anyone else have this problem? I have some KB's, rings, parallettes, some light db's I jsut find when I get home my motivation disappears.
