Monday: Strength n such (ME TGU)

Light warm up of stretching (esp. hamstrings) and:

• Pull ups (10, 5)
  
• Push ups (10, 10)
• Squats (10, 10)

Max Effort Turkish Get Ups:

• 3 x 30
• 3 x 40
• 3 x 50
• 1 x 60
• 1 x 70 FAIL
  
• 1 x 70

This wasn't really two full attempts. It was a bad start on the first, then a real attempt for each side, on which I came very close on both and just couldn't keep it up on the thrust toward the peak. I am confident I could get 65 b/c 60 went right up. I felt like 70 was really within my grasp.

AGAIN, flirted with the crazy beast thruster-clean-SDLHP akbar killer but I was pretty beat from the TGUs. Was gonna just do AMRAP in 10 min, but ended up doing 3 rounds of the circuit again, this time the 3 was even harder (!!!).

• Thruster x 5 x 95
• Hang Clean x 7 x 95
• SDLHP x 10 x 95
  

This is ok practice, but all the benefits of this workout are lost if you are not pushing it and getting in the heavy reps -- the benefits being fat burn + delicious akbar soreness.

Finished workout with a few standing twists (45lb plate) and some saxon side bends (10s).

I was beat and sweaty. TGUs are a great workout in and of themselves. BUT...

Weigh in: 182!!!!!!!!
I need to stop eating and start doing "cardio" workouts (well, high intensity fat-burning workouts) more. Ever since the temperature dropped I have been voracious and just stuffing my face like every meal is my last.
