Dog barking in one ear, cat meowing in the other.

Good thing I spent the morning at the gym and am too loose to feel annoyed. Started with yoga, 1.5 hours. Then lifts. Lifting after yoga makes it a tough warm-up but I managed. Warmed up with air squats, 1 x 12, back squats, 1 x 10 x 45, front squats, 1 x 8 x 45, 10 push-ups, front squats, 1 x 8 x 45, push-ups 10, front squats 1 x 5 x 65, Power cleans 1 x 5 x 45, clean and press 1 x 5 x 45, clean, front squat press 1 x 5 x 45. Power clean 1 x 3 x 65, clean and press 1 x 3 x 65, clean front squat and press 1 x 3 x 65, 1 x 1 x 70, 3 x 1 x 75.

Overhead squat 1 x 5 x 45, power snatch 1 x 5 x 45, snatch 1 x 5 x 45, overhead squat 1 x 3 x 55, power snatch 1 x 3 x 55, snatch 1 x 3 x 55. My snatch is in slow motion. Overhead squat 2 x 3 x 65, 2 x 3 x 75, 1 x 3 x 70, 3 x 5 x 65. Clean and press 3 x 3 x 65 and I was so done.

Driving on the way home I felt all the exercise endorphins floating around my head, it was great. If anyone had asked a question at that time the answer would have been yes regardless. That is fading away with my various animals being annoying and the fact that my "Lift More Suck Less" bumper sticker came all folded and mesed up and may need to be returned. I contacted Cafepress and requested they just send a new one, will see how that goes.

Back in the gym, taking it lightly

i decided to take a break from the heavy powerlifts for a week or so to give myself a chance to miss it and for variety. Today, I warmed up with 12 air squats, 10 back squats with the bar only, then did 3 x 10 push-ups, 3 x 5 x 45 front squats. Continued with front squats 1 x 5 x 55, 1 x 5 x 65, 1 x 5 x 75, these were tough. Then, overhead squats, 3 x 5 x 45, overhead press 3 x 5 x 45, overhead squat, 1 x 5 x 55, 1 x 1 x 65, fail, 1 x 5 x 65 did it.Overhead press 1 x 5 x 55, did not press out 65 as the plan was to clean and press that next.

Power cleans, 2 x 5 x 45, 1 x 5 x 55, clean and press 1 x 3 x 65, 1 x 3 x 70, 1 x 1 x 75 messy fail, back to power cleans 5 x 3 x 75 nice, felt strong. Back squats 1 x 5 x 95, 5 x 5 x 115.
Tomorrow will do cardio on the treadmill, easy jog and then Coralette's class. Thursday, increase reps on front squats to eight, keep weight at 45, 55, 65. Do two sets each of overhead squats at 45,55,65. Try to clean and press 75 three times again, if that doesn't happen power clean it out. Back squats, 1 x 5 x 95, 1 x 5 x 115, 2 x 5 x 120, 2 x 5 x 115. Friday off, Saturday cardio.
