5x5 Squat

Wow, my form is pretty rough. When I get my camera back I'll be getting video footage so I can figure out what's wrong.

Warm up:
15 sit ups
15 push ups
10 OHS
15 pull ups, 60lbs assisted
15 dips, 60lbs assisted
4 sets of 1 full bodyweight pull up
1 full bodyweight dip

Knees to elbows progression: 3 knees to parallel, legs bent

Squat, 5 reps:

95 - 95 - 115 - 115 - 115

Today I'm eating paleo. I don't know what I'll do tomorrow, or beyond that, but just for today I'm eating all paleo.

4 oz chicken breast

1 bowl (1 cup) granola

Lunch: none

Dinner: 2 cups ice cream

Dinner was funny. Got home, no pasta left for me. OK, so I made a yummy burrito with cheese, beans, grilled onions and chicken. Take it out of the microwave and DROP it! I was pissed, so I just had ice cream. My coping skills are astounding!

Food, 080612

Unintentional intermittent fasting today, didn't eat breakfast and my lunchbreak is non-existent, hence no food until around 4:45ish.

4:45 - Rich & Sassy Salad, with pork, bacon, cheese, potato strings, and honey dijon dressing.

6:00 - Wild Sockeye Salmon Caesar Salad

8:30ish - Handful of french fries, carrots with ranch dressing.

So in case it's not obvious, I'm not worrying about strict paleo foods right now, instead I'm focusing on eliminating one group at a time -- currently proccessed grains. Dairy, tubers and dressings will probably go in the future, but for now they'll keep me sane.

Rest day, Michael tomorrow morning.

Deadlift

080611

Deadlift
3x3x3x3x3

135lbs
155lbs
185lbs
205lbs (failed)
185lbs

I love deadlifts! If I can do 185 for 3 reps, I'm looking forward to what my 1 rep max is! Maybe I'll be at 225 soon?

Edit: Odd, I just plugged my 3 rep max into a calculator and it says my max should be 196, when I can pull at least 205, if not 215 on a good day for one rep! I must have more strength to endurance or something, weird!

135 pound Squat clean, 7 reps,
15 Handstand push-ups,
for time.

Modified the HSPU, feet supported by a 3' box, and the cleans were with 75lbs. At the end of my first set I thought "Ok, maybe 3 rounds instead?" but by the end of the third I wanted to do all 5, just so I could say I did. Was dizzy and barely able to walk afterward.

Time: 14:24
