CFWU x 3
Deadlift (first in over a year)
3x8
135lbs
My objective today was just to do the movement and get back into the weights.
I did find that my grip was weak.
Practiced skipping for about 5 mins
Good overall time in the gym.
Steve's unimproved warm up. Want to add some pull ups and push ups.
Deadlift
1-1-1-1-1-1-1
385-405-405-405-405-405-440 PR
Handstands for 3.5 mins.
The weight was feeling good so I wanted to have another test at a PR. 440 went up smooth and came down nice and clean. I think I was too worried about dropping it.

Warm up was the dynamic one I showed a video of before. I really like how this gets me warm and loose.
Felt really good this afternoon. I was hoping for 445 and 190 but alas. Nada!
Holiday Beard. Oh how I miss it!
First post of the year. I am predicting a great year.
CFWU x1 (I will have to increase this. I was getting bored with doing it 3 times so I went to 1. Now I need the practice for pull ups and OHS.)

That was good lifting today for me. I felt strong but my grip was the weakest part of the lift today. I tried the hook grip to compensate but nearly tore my thumbs off.
Today is day 5 of trying to kick the chewing tobacco habit. I have been addicted to that stuff for about 5-6 years. I have attempted to kick the habit in the past and have some success. I would be absent from chewing for a few months and then I would go back to the habit. I feel that it is more important this time around to truly stop. Getting married this summer is a large motivation. I don't want to get married with only half a jaw. The other and less important but none the less motivating is the financial aspect. I average about a 34g tin every 1.5 days. At a cost of 14.25$ a tin this translates to aboyt 285$ a month.
After 30 days of not chewing I am going to reward myself with an IPod Touch.
Are there any suggestions or words of wisdom to assist me with this painful endeavour?
So Freaking What I can do a Handstand!
Today was suppose to be a 10 km run. Everyone knows I hate running so I didn't do it. I know I should have. Maybe my Bro will run with me later.

These were not max efforts just wanted to lift some stuff today. Traps a little sore still.
10 KB Snatch each hand
Handstand practice and then went home.
"Helen"
Three rounds for time:
Run 400 meters
1 1/2 pood Kettlebell X 21 swings (or 55 pound dumbbell swing)
12 Pull-ups
11:01
Not very happy with this one I was almost 3 minutes longer then last
time. Thought I was going to crush this one. Had to partition the
swings and pull ups in the 3rd round. I think it was more psychological
then physical.
Deny everything...admit nothing...make counter accusations!
After work I went to the gym and completed:
5 left, 5 right
.5 Pood Snatch
1 Pood Snatch
1.5 Pood Snatch
3 left, 3 right One Arm Barbell Snatch
65-85 Lbs
1 Left, 1 Right One Arm Barbell Snatch
105 Lbs
Snatch High Pull
3x5
135 Lbs
Then wanted to do some handstands but lost my balance and started walking. Made it 15feet. That made me excited. After repeated attempts I managed 45 feet. Half way across the gym. I was stoked.
Then I was talking with Dave and we were talking about running and deadlifts. I thought while I was waiting I would try a deadlift.
380lbs PR
I feel really good about that considering yesterday and today's WODs.
Don't laugh this is just a quick attempt to see if I could get my computer to do a video. I have been having issues!
AM
A mixer of movements. Squats with a "body bar", medball curls, tricep extentions, laps around gym (600 metersish), calf raises, and a few more things that I can't recall just right now. finished by doing 10 kipping pull ups then hit the showers.
PM
CFWU x 1
Was at a loss of what to do cuz I was just killing time until I had to go train with someone.

375 x 0
370 x 1
I think that I have a definate lack of strength on my legs to lift any heavier. I would have to spend some time really focusing on the strenght portion for awhile which is the opposite of what I should be doing right now. One day soon?
1 Rep max
Deadlift
Work your way up to your 1 RM as needed.
Final lift of 365lbs. Was disappointed with that. I haven't tried a 1RM since Feb 07 and totally thought I would be able to get 380lbs.
Beat my previous best by 5 pounds. 5 stinkin' pounds. I think I will have to work on that.
Beat by Pat for 15 points.
