After a Week Break



19 Jul 13 (Fri)

     Warmup
     500m  Row

     Strength
     3RepMax Muscle Clean  (to 135lb)             **  Re-set max

     6 Rounds
     100m Row
     5        Ring Rows

  Took a week, week-and-1/2 break. Threw out my back doing an awkward movement (not at the gym) and needed to give it time to recuperate. Couldn't stand, sit, or walk for a while.   :/   Better now. Workout went better than I anticipated, actually. Back on schedule.

  Stopped cleans at 135lb while still comfortable. Think I'll take the lifts back a couple of notches of weight, and work back up. This'll allow me to focus on perfect technique.

  Oh, also, net weight-loss is now at 20lb after 3 months; not too bad. At 242lb.

  Motivational pictures today: Anne Hathaway.   :P   Here's her being awesome:
