am i done yet...?

woah worlds longest day... started at 545 when I got up and did not end until after 8pm.. ohh baby. look at me go.  It was a Y-full day!! work from 7-9 then a work meeting from 930-12.. but it went until 130... a short drive back to my site and then 2-6.  You might be wondering when I was able to workout, WELL. that was after all the running around at the Y.  So from about 630-8 I was in Kelly getting everything but my front squats done. Ellyn didn't want me doing those on my own unless i had a cage to catch the bar.. and loading and unloading would have been a pain and the cage was being used etc etc etc so no front squats today.

this week is a little jumbled with lifting because of meetings for the Y, but I'm making it work and getting my workouts in.  Gotta sacrifice something, right? so my free time is what gets the ax this week. and maybe a little bit of my sanity... oh well.  I'm doing the things i like and the things i need to do.. it's a give and take.

But back to my workout.. I had clean and jerks with the dumb bells 8 sets of 1 going up to 90%.  I missed one lift and that was the 90%.  my clean was out in front and i let it fall instead of fighting it (and lets be honest- there was a lack of focus with the lift itself).  I finished my lifts and got a little more solid and a little more purposeful with the lifts (especially the jerks).. I've been trying to get my foot speed faster, my legs to land in a wide stance (this i was pretty sure i wasn't doing so well), and my head through (something i've mentioned before on my blog that I wanted to work on).  Getting stuff done...

The next lift I had was jerk recoveries.  These went better than the last time I did them.  I was able to increase my reps on my 2 highest weights.  My feet still need work on getting and staying wide when I recover, but putting my head through helped stabilize the weights and it feels good to max out the dumb bells in the weight room.  :)  I'm sure all the stinky wrestlers were wondering what I was doing when i grabbed the heavy weights.. ha. little did they know!!

But i need to get myself in the shower and in bed because my day starts early.  It will be a short day tomorrow! 630-6... only 11.5 hours.. it'll be a breeze!
