My body was hurting today, a little DOMS from Saturday's chipper. Not to mention I didn't do myself any favors nutritionally or rest wise. Knowing that I was going clean starting today, I didn't hold back much over the weekend in regards to alcohol/nutrition and I could feel it today. But was still good to get back in the gym and I'm stoked to have a new and intense drive to train again, feeling motivated.
Started with some strength work today. This is a de-loading week in our cycle so the weights were light and consequently, I kept rest short. I timed 1 minute active rests between every set in which I'd perform some type of calisthenic to keep myself warm.
Hang Squat Clean and Jerk
-2 x 5 x 95#
-2 x 5 x 115#
-2 x 5 x 135#
Front Squats
-2 x 5 x 145#
-2 x 5 x 165#
I was feeling pretty good and loose after the strength work and it was nice to have 165# feel light on the front squats. In the past, much more than 155# has felt really heavy to me during met-cons but I'm getting to a place where I know I can handle weight like that no problem. It feels like more mental victory than physical.
I finished the session with some productive hspu and muscle-up work.
