7.12.10 - Deadlift (wk 1) + 5 x 400m conditioning runs

244.0

I eased off the low carb last week, but still, the baseline is a bit lower than before, so that's good. I'm going to jump back on the bandwagon this week and try to get a reading under 240 as soon as possible. 235 by August 10th is the new goal, which shouldn't be a problem if I can manage an ounce of discipline.

Strength:
Deadlift
Set 1: 5 reps at 200 (65%)
Set 2: 5 reps at 230 (75%)
Set 3: 10 reps at 260 (85%)

This is the second cycle of 5/3/1. For the Deadlift, I am incrementing by 10 pounds. Scott seems to have it in mind that the thing to do is recalculate off of your new max, but this is what the Wendler e-book says to do, so that's my plan. Next cycle, I may only go up 5 pounds but we'll see. It will depend how many reps I get to in Wk 3.

Metcon:
X 5 repeats
400m run
60 seconds rest

1:51, 1:49, 1:53, 1:53, 1:51

I really kind of killed it with this WOD. Definitely one of my better ones. One note: since I was at the head of the pack, my average rest time was probably on the order of 80 - 90 seconds instead of 60. I'll take it though.

Food:
Yogurt Mix
Grande Latte
2 chicken breasts
small salad
Jerky
Apply
nut cluster things
Teriyaki chicken w/small salad and white rice
Tall Decaf Latte
4 chocolate almonds cluster things
