CONDITIONING

hang power snatch-jump over bar-jump over bar-hang power clean-jump over bar-jump over bar: 8 rounds w/115lbs in 5:15

Notes: 2 minutes rests between reverse hypers.  Still needing to take the eccentrics very slow and controlled on the squats, and can occasionally feel the abductor/hip socket wanting to boogie, but things are continuining to improve.  I'm terminating sets before the point of absolute ridiculous struggle, which is leaving me lots of energy on this style of workout.  May have to set up the SSB on an alternate rack and go THERE for my final burnout set to really achieve what I'm going for, but it's been good to get the buffalo bar back on my back.  Mobility continues to be awesome.

Had dried fruit for my pre-workout carbs, since I was coming back from work today.  First time I'd had a full on serving of fruit in years.  It's delicious.  Had 4 dried prunes, 2 dried figs, and a tablespoon of raisins.  Pure sugar. Going out for some Mexican food tonight as my post workout meal.  Doing things right.

Went to the Docs yesterday and had some vitals taken while I was there. Things are looking the best they have in a long time. Blood pressure was 116/74 and a “resting” heart rate of 49, which was post morning energy drink. Stepped on the scale at 183.3, which was weird to see of course, and while fully clothed with wallet, phone and keys in pocket.

I get my lipids done first week of Sep. That will be the big thing to see how this 3 month focus on health has paid off.
