AM

Choice Cyclical - 40min @ EN1

*fasted, straight out of bed (BCAA + Greens)

Took bubby for a walk again ~3.5 miles

PM

A

Power Snatch from blocks @ hip - 15 singles @ 185#; rest 60-90sec

Result: 15/15

I was actually pretty happy with this. Starting from a dead position at the hip with no true ability to cheat and "reload" (meaning get a little bit of stretch reflex action) really forced me to think about driving through my heels first versus trying to pull the bar first. 

B

Snatch Push Press - 5 x 3; rest 2min (build ot moderate triple for the day)

Result: 315# for final set

Could've done more but wanted to stay here. I wasn't very comfortable with the movement. It felt like I haven't done it for quite some time.

EMOM for 20min

Min-1 - 5 TnG Power Cleans @ 185#

Min-2 - 5 TnG STOH @ 185#

Min-3 - 5 TnG DL @ 275# (+45# ea side)

Min-4 - 30sec AB @ easy recovery pace

This was good. It was nice doing some "big guy" stuff. I think I need to try to stray away from hook grip on the deads. They rip my thumbs up like no other. My hands were quite tender, overall, afterward. The biggest surprise, however, was my back. Not once did it feel lit up or spicy at any point. This was a big step. 

A few key things I need to consider:

1) no sex an hour before workout

2) caloric intake needs to dramatically increase

3) now that Madeline and Evelyn are on the same schedule, try to be in bed by 10:30p at the latest

4) intra-workout

5) getting back on creatine + protein + beta-alanine, as well as casein before bed
