04/03
Time 2pm
Bodyweight (home scale) 249.8

No pretest recoded
Mobility drills
Post test top of ankle

Snatch
Pre-Test: Bottom of ankle
Time: 8:00
Weight: 24K
Unilateral: Y
Reps: 100

Notes

Towel Deadlifts
Pre-Test: bottom of foot
Time: 8:00
Weight: 135lb
Unilateral: N
Reps: 90
Post-Test: Floor
Notes
This was with a barbell versus my usual dumbbell work. The range of motion feels really short but solid, obviously the body agreed with the movement.

Thrusters
Pre-Test: bottom of thumbs on floor (record)
Time: 8:00
Weight: 135
Unilateral: N
Reps: 8
Post-Test: floor
Notes
This was really heavy for me on thrusters but I wanted to try it. The test reps went awesome. The latter reps could have been better. Because it was so heavy for me, given the nature of the workout, there was a lot of time taken between reps to prepare myself to stay tension free. Obviously I was not 100% successful

Burpee -> Clean
Pre-Test: grasp toes
Time: 8:00
Weight: 16K
Unilateral: Y(sorta)
Reps: 17
Post-Test: grasp foot/toes
Notes

pigeon-toe presses
Pre-Test: bottom of toes
Time: 8:00
Weight: 16K
Unilateral: Y
Reps: 10
Post-Test: top of toe nails
Notes
I was testing every few reps and immediately saw a decline in ROM, which made me bail on this

04/04
unfortunately I used ink on my tracking sheet so once it went in my gymbag it all ran. I can tell you that I did Snatch 60lb X90, towel deadlift 60lb X 84, Thrusters (can’t read the weight but it was 35lbs X 2) X 35, Burpee -> clean 60lbs X 22, Pigeon-toe presses 35lbs X 60. It looks like my ROM looks like I got to the point of grasping my toes

04/05 – no workout

04/06 – no recorded workout but I did do one. As I recall I worked the depth squat, presses and plate rotations but had to go.

04/07 – same as the day before

Notes
the ROM on this felt weird. I think it’s because my hip joints are so much more open

04/09 – nothing

04/10 – nothing
oddly, that nerve injury on my left sciatic was acting up. This is really dumb, but I think it was a session of Wii boxing I did the evening before that correlated. My right bicep is sore, presumably from throwing my right arm with no resistance. I assume the two are related.

This week was pretty crap for workouts. My job’s been interfering. My goal for the coming week is to hit 5 solid workouts (even if one or two of them is outside my normal nooner). My other goal is to get home from work on time, something I haven’t succeeded at in two weeks.
