A
Snatch Complex - 2 squat snatch + 2 hang power snatch + 2 snatch balance + 2 overhead squat x 5

Result: 135 / 185 / 205 / 215X / 215

I wasn't sure where to start so I started with something I knew I could hit. Hindsight, 135# was far too light...go fucking figure. Overall, I give my performance on this a C+. I felt lethargic and very off balance. Disappointed as well that 215# felt like a fucking truck.

B
5RM Push Press in 5 sets or less

Result: 215 / 225 / 255 / 275F @ rep 4 / 275

275# is 5# under my current 1RM. That being said, I think I can be close to 300# on a 1RM push press. I'm okay with this after the way the snatch complex went.

C
3 x 20 Ab wheel + 10 strict toes to bar

I didn't have access to a GHD tonight so I  had to improvise a little. This was far more difficult, I think, than 20 GHD sit ups would have been. I didn't like this.

I'm looking forward to resting tomorrow. I'm very, very spent. Rachel and I have had extremely limited funds lately (it's mostly my fault) and I haven't been able to eat anywhere near as much as I need to. This means I've had no protein for almost a month and have been cycled off creatine and beta-alanine for almost 10 weeks. However, I'm consistently able to take fish oil and green tea extract (luckily, bodybuilding.com had a special of but one get 3 free green tea extract). I understand that these don't really aid with recovery all too much, however, the fish oil has been helping my joint pains a lot and the green tea extract has given me a false since of energy...sure...oh well. It'll get better. Family is coming in soon, so we'll have lots of food :)
