  • full squat snatch 95lbs x 3 reps x 1 set
  • clean deadlift 275lbs x 2 reps x 3 sets

oh yea. the back squat was sick and wasn't nearly as difficult as i expected.

WOD 6/26: catalyst wod

hit a PR on the snatch balance - so stoked. i have to work on the depth i go on the balance - but other than that it was pretty stable.
liz hit another PR as well - snatch balance 65lbs!

we are also switching to a "Lion Diet" as we think we are fast oxidizers - 65% protein/20% fat/15% carbs. we are eyeballing of course but day 2 on this "diet" with all this protein - i had a dream about f'ing someone up - and then i said "WHAT!" to a group of people in the dream and they were all scared. thank you red meat ;)
