New phase!

So after 5 days rest, Im back at it.  I did some light stretching, jogging, and rowing for active recovery, but I also ate like crap.  And I felt it today.  It felt like I was going to meet pukie a couple times which has not happened in a looooong time.  I guess its time to get back on track with nutrition and start hitting it hard again.  I need some huge gains this cycle and plan on committing to it 100%.  I meant to film todays workout but forgot the camera.  I will try to post more videos from here on!

New PRs!

So I knew a bunch more PRs were coming.  I recently PRed in the squat clean and the clean & jerk.   I also was only 10lb off my best bench press ever dating back to college when I was about 10lb heavier playing football and lot more of a power lifter then.  Last night I felt my best ever during a Fran and improved by 56 seconds from the last time I did it.  Here is my first time attempting chest bar Fran.  I feel like I even look a lot more out of shape and pale.  Below is the video of my PR in Fran.  Such a huge improvement!!!

Wihout goals, there is no direction... the path to death!

From the book Deep Survival from Laurence Gonzales

  – Just as you can become lost in the woods, you can become lost in business or in a relationship: “If he'd been able to reason more clearly, he could have understood that he was not on the correct route. But logic was rapidly being pushed into the background by emotion and stress. So, by the simple act of putting one foot in front of the other, he was about to cross over from mild geographical confusion to a state of being genuinely lost. The stages of getting lost resemble the five stages of dying described by Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, the psychologist who wrote On Death and Dying: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance.”

NEW PR!

I will try to post every time I get a new PR, hopefully there will be many more!

I will leave nothing behind every day and focus on being as prepared as possbile through nutrition, sleep, and a positive mentality; run a 18:30 min 5k I will not give up when it gets hard. I want to keep moving in every workout, and I want to move faster; Sub 2:25 fran
