Wed -- July 16th

Felt good today. Went to Costco today to stock up on meats and good lord is the quality good and prices fantastic. I used to be out on it feeling the meats and cheeses and veggies wouldn't be good but they are just as good as IGA Marketplace below my place. I picked up a wack of chicken and steak and also picked up a large bag of pre-cooked chicken breast. The ingrediants look pretty good outside of a little too much sodium and its so convenient. The picture below is of the rider that just got his whole team kicked off the the tour de france. How can these idiots continue to dope when there sport has turned into the biggest joke. I posted the picture because this is what most people consider fit. He looks like an alien, with a tiny body and a massive head. This guy couldn't press 95 pounds if his life was on the line.



Workout 1: Squash. 40 min of game play. Had one of my better games ever. Felt great moving around the court and was hitting all my shots. I won 3-0.
Workout 2:
warmup: dynamax ball throwing
Squat Cleans: worked on form and did doubles: worked up to two sets of 155#
Workout:
rounds in 20min:
2 static pullups
4 knees to elbows
6 pushups, with grip on a d-ball
8 20" box jumps. Land with one foot on top of box and alternate.
20 1/4 rounds.
Great workout. Knees to elbows are what really slowed me down. I worked hard to keep my form and make sure I was hitting the knees to elbows on each rep. I placed 4th and was so close to second.




By the way I weighted in today at 188. I think 180 is a perfect weight for my size and I'll curious to see how I do at that weight again. I am very happy with the body composition change especially since I'm also taking creatine right now which causes you to retain water.
