Well today could have been worst, it started off great but it started to get a bit frustrating when I went back to Dal for weights.
I started off with circuits, long tempo, hill runs, medballs, just general conditioning stuff but I probably should have split the workout up so I could have put in a better effort in the weightroom.
I started off with snatch, doing an explosive exercise such as this during general prep isn't going to do me much good but I want to put in an effort learning the movement for later in the year. Then I went to Romanian deadlifts, they didn't feel too bad but I found my lower back was getting tired which means I wasn't there technically. I did feel them in the glute-hamstring area too which is a good sign.
Pull-up's and rows didn't go well at all, I just had nothing left. I hate doing upper body work, I know it has its place but ahhhh it's just so monotonous.
I weighed in at 161lb's on the scale in the Dalplex which is about where I want to be. I would like to compete at around 157lb's so if I could keep my body weight under 165lb's and still get "strong" that would be great.
