Random Thoughts

Are my attempts to get stronger and put on a little wait just an excuse to eat whatever I want?

I am continuing to set some PR's but I feel like I am falling backwards in terms of total fitness. I think it is all in my head and indicates an over-reliance on appearance as a measure of fitness.

Since my last post my favorite workouts have been Nasty Girls, heavy clean and jerk, and a half filthy fifty (with some mods).

I am going to drop down my deadlift weight since I got the PR and work back up to get a bigger PR over the next month or two. In the meantime I hope the lower intensity on the DL will open up the possibility of PR's on my squat and shoulder press.

My shoulder still hurts but I no longer feel like it will really hold me back. I did 25 strait pull-ups in the half filthy fifty and it felt easy. I think I can still do 30 which is my PR anyway. As long as I can do enough to be under 4:00 in Fran and knocking on the door of sub 8:00 in Helen, I'm happy.

Big goals before the new year:

7:59 Helen
225lb Clean
200lb Jerk
200lb Clean and Jerk
145lb Snatch
900lb CFT
1:29 500m Row
10 HSPU

Of all these, the HSPU seem the least likely.
