Time to catch up on a few blog post.  Now that school is back in session I have to really structure my time.  Thursday was a teacher day for me - that required me to be at school from 7:30am to 8pm.  As far as training - I was able to do some 5 x 5 weighted pull ups and dips.  That was it.  I felt tired so the rest was worth it.  It will take me a week or so to get used to teaching all day.  But it does allow me a few small chunks of time that I can fit in some training.

On Friday I drove down to work with Brandon.  The drive was about 1hr and 35min - though I did get lost.  Once there we talked for a while.  I really loved his ideas and direction that he has planned out for me.  We started with some easy snatch technique work.  Lots of changes to make there.  Then I moved on to the last test which was:
800 Run
100 Wall Balls
400 Run
50 C and J @115lbs
200 Run
25 Burpee-Box Jumps

That was a long grind for sure.  I did struggle some on the wall balls and felt heavy on the running.  I could have been better at decreasing the rest between reps. Something to work on for sure.

For Saturday I warmed up slowly.  Then did a 20 rep unbroken deadlift set.  These were touch and go reps for 20.  I did 285lbs today(up from 275).  Then did some 5 x 5 work on close grip bench with 170 and pull ups.  I finished with 8 x 20sec on 10sec rest on the AD6.  That sucked for sure.

Looking forward to my new training block to arrive.
