for two months now i've been wanting to do this wod. why? because it is one of the only wod's that has back squats in it and i'd been doing heavy back squats (heavy for me anyways) 1-2/wk for the last two months. fast forward two months. i haven't done a heavy back squat in at least a month if i've done them at all since this wod was posted. conclusion-daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn.

back squats 133#
ring dips (skinny black band)
19 even.
if you can do sets of 5-7 of the weight that's not so bad. when you're essentially doing 40 singles throughout the workout...it tends to take a while. my ass and quads have started cramping already but i'll learn not to neglect my back squat again won't i?
ring dips felt solid. i've been trying to do high volume ring dips with the smallest band so that i can attain one of my goals for 09. (ring dips...if you couldn't guess). sometimes i feel like i'm close but somedays it feels like it is so far away.
FOOD: i know i said i was done posting food but that's before i decided to eat everything i could possibly think of, want, desire, in the past couple weeks. i think i may be depressed without realizing it because i do not give a second thought to what i put in my mouth. fortunately my clothes still fit and performance hasn't been noticeably crappy. although recovery hasn't been great but that's why i'm back to logging.

4 rds of
7 reps overhead anyway (93#)
400m run
14:33
that's a relatively heavy weight for me anyways. but add in my core is shot (read stability and power transfer) and the fact that i can't push jerk for shit and it all equals out to a big ol' mess. but it's over and the work is done.
one of the first wods in a long time that i felt like i shorted ROM and couldn't claim it as legit. that leaves a bad feeling in your stomach.

are my arms supposed to be longer?
worked lever progression today. pretty sweet except it's one of those things you're like i'm never going to be able to do this...okay okay i will. (just not soon :P ) i have decided they need to make a gymnastics for dummies book because i have "issues" with the part that most people don't even think about. i have a harder time getting my legs through my arms to the other side of the bar then doing the damn lever. i really think my arms aren't long enough. there's only so much space to work with.
anyways in my quest to get a muscle up i decided that i will NEVER miss a wod that has muscleups in it. "a muscle up is highest pullup and the deepest dip you'll ever do. the road is paved with dips and pullups" blah blah blah. all that does is cause my hand to rip. okay now the bitching is going overboard. i'll simmer down. when i was referring to this wod i actually said "i'm not sure i'll ever be able to do that prescribed." as soon as i said it i realized how many other things i've said that about. fran, annie, filthy fifty, etc. i take it back. it's just going to hurt a lot on the way there.
1 MU/10 HSPU
2 MU/8 HSPU
4 MU/6 HSPU
6 MU/4 HSPU
8 MU/2 HSPU
10 MU/1 HSPU
subbed 3 pullups and 1 ring dip (with skinny black band) for MU, BA HSPU
20:38
ring dips were harder than normal today. not sure if it was the combination of those and hspu or if this week was harder on me than i realized or if i'm just a big pansy but lockout was a battle (that i didn't always win).
last 28 pullups were 1 by 1, holding on by fingertips, praying not to fall. i manage my calluses so what's with all the f-ing blood blisters/rips?
FOOD:
so i know you don't want to see the boring stuff. if you don't know i eat steak, eggs, string cheese, fruit, dill pickle cashew, pickles, green beans, fish oil and sugar free dark choc. that's about it. however i would like people to see how LITTLE i care about "cheating". when i want food, i eat it. but i have to actually want it. and i don't feel bad about eating it. i might feel sick but not guilty. my workout the next day might suck but i still don't feel bad about myself. if i can't see any muscles in my stomach guess what...time to quit eating crap for a little bit.
today i was all set to grill. cole wanted NO part in it. it's pretty easy to be persuaded out of cooking. so like my typical all out feeding- queso, chips, quesadillas and some pumpkin/cream cheese roll thing. YUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUM. and it's glorious rest day tomorrow so i don't even have to suck at a wod. :)
