Push Pressing


Had a good day today, both diet and workout wise. I must admit that after the workout I wanted to go to IGA and hit up some sandwiche and chip combo but instead did chicken breast, asperagus and carrots. I wonder if my carb cravings will ever fully go away or if I'll be addicted my whole life to a good chip and a coke. I hope not.

Workout: Max Push Press = 220 PB

Failed twice at 225 but my previous best was 215 so I'm happy with that. 220 actually went up like butter so I think I have 225 in me. Hopefully next time.
did some handstand work and usual warmup before hand.
500m row: 1:38...this is the exercise I would like to improve in the most. This will be my starting point and the goal is to break 1:30 in the next couple of months. Andy Sac rowed a gym record 1:22. I was pulling 1:30 for a while but totally gassed at 300m.
1.5 poud in each hand Kettlebell front squats: 10,5,5,5,8
Kettlebell snatch work and overhead squat for fun.


B: 6oz turkey burger/deli turkey, 1 garpefruit, trail mix
L: Tuna Salad
L: 1 elevate bar,2 turkey burgers, trail mix
PW: 1 elevate bar (I had to have this in IGA so that I got a good dinner as apposed to a cheat meal. Normally I would have liked to have a protein drink)
D: 5oz chicken with teryaki sauce ( not a lot), 6 asparagus (cooked in 1/2 tsp of butter), 6 carrots raw.
S: 2oz cheese, 12 grapes, trail mix

Pie, I did the Goat today (Mon) around 6pm.

Round 1 5:50,
Round 2 5:16
Round 3 3:44

The row kicked my ass. I held 1:44-1:52/500m the whole way. I was very foggy after this one, it took about 8min to add up my scores on the white board (no joke).

I'm going to get myself a Splitz burger for getting through this one after the Grind this morning.

Wow, sac you smoked me. I think I was 6min on the first two rounds and then just over 4min on the last one.

Good for you for rocking that after the grind. I will say that I was and am surprised at how fresh my legs feel after it. I thought for sure I would have to take today off but they aren't that sore. I am going to try Ants workout today at the barn as there are another two exercises I don't like.
