Had a great time training with Caitlin and Rob tonight! This was a good session. These were hard movements to slow down on. I obviously suffer with t2b, even at 80%. Still don't feel 100%, but weight is starting to pack back on. Looking forward to tomorrow.

Started buying fresh caught salmon from some friends at a local restaurant. They get it from a market in ATL. Cut this into 18 fillets.

11/8/11 - Double Training

AM:

Weight: 188#, surprised I haven't gain any more back. Who knows, I might be stuck here for a while.

Back on the OPT Big Dawg Blog for a while. REALLY looking forward to it. I felt amazing following James' training the passed few months. Today looks like a decent day to jump back in to it.

Training:
will

part 1:
A. Snatch - build to a tough double in a few sets; 225# felt good.
B. Snatch Balance - build to a tough single - rest as needed; 225#, midline felt weak and shaky.
C. Ring Dips - amrap (-3); rest 90 sec x 3; 20,20,20 felt great!
D. KBS - 10 heavy; rest 30 sec x 3; 106# felt great. Pretty winded after these.

rest 4+ hours

part 2:
3 sets @ 100%:
Row 500 m
rest 15 min b/t sets

1:25,1:31, 1:41

Had a lot of energy going into tonight. Body is still not ready yet, obviously. My best 500 is a 1:20.1

I should have stopped after the first one, it was just flat out pathetic, buuuuttt I felt like punishing myself. Haven't trained in two weeks and I missed the hurt. Once again, not smart, but felt good.

Onward.

PM:
Weight: 194#

Praise the Lord! Oh, giver thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.

1 scoop almond butter.

Mood: Slept like a rock. Feel awesome!!

Do not remember the past events, pay no attention to things of old. Look, I am about to do something new; even now it is coming. Do you not see it? Indeed, I will make a way in the wilderness, rivers in the desert.

11/6/11 - Neera Complete!

Neera Cleanse Complete


AM:
Weight: 186.5#
Mood: AWESOME!

I literally jumped out of bed this morning and ran down stairs like it was Christmas morning and tore into a shake like it was a present wrapped under a Christmas Tree!

It was glorious...

Welcome Back Shake:
14oz. Coconut Water
2 Bananas
1 Scoop Almond Butter
26g of Max Protein Powder (Goat Formula)
Ice

I plan on training today but going at it easy to ease back in to it. I'll probably rest tomorrow then hop back on the Big Dawg Blog Tuesday, Wednesday, & Thursday. Then, It's off to ATL to hang out with some of the coolest people! Asked Steve Mullen what he did for training the day back after the cleanse and it was very similar to what I had in mind. Will probably look a little something like this:

A. Back Squat: 5,3,2 @ 85-90%; rest 3 min.
B. CTB Chin Ups: 3 x 10; rest 1 min.
C. Run 400m @ 90%; rest 5 min. x 2
D. Double Unders: 20 sec. AMRAP; rest 30 sec. x 3

Took some after pics this morning. Unfortunately I don't have any before to compare them to. Don't make fun, I'm NOT posing. Just wanted to track how freaking skinny I feel.

This is for you Robert...

186.5#

I'm glad it's over. I highly suggest anyone serious about their health and fitness to try it out. It's really not that bad. I plan on tracking my weight the rest of the week to see how long it takes for me to gain it back. Then to see how much of it I keep off.




Know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God.
