Great day of training today, everything still EASY and with good form, Snatch off boxes - couldn't stick 100kg again today, although a torn calusses in my left hand made it hard, will tape up tomorrow morning.

Squats were gorgeous, a photographer would've been saying yeah baby more, more like that haha the form was picture perfect!
Deadlifts and Bench Press too, leg drive was there and made it easy.

Time to enjoy some Oats with milk, cream, banana and caramel condensed milk #YUM :P


Also, got my measurements done yesterday - Body Weight: 94kg Body Fat: 8.9% - 7 site test

Plyometrics were fun, Snatch and CPP were good considering - my hands are still a bit beat up and it made the hook grip a bit rough and tough to keep closed.

Powerlifts were great, tight form although my hip flexors were extremely tight, I need to spend a bit more time stretching my hips and quads.

While warming up for Snatch with the bar I dropped the bar onto my lower back, I was sweating like crazy by then and my hands slipped :/ got a small lump of fatty tissue and a it of bruise. Was fine at first, although was irritating against my belt during deficit deads.

Great day of training, attacked the weights during Snatch and CJ, short rest, just went at it like an animal.

Decided to reward myself with some extra 'carbs' along with my post training shake. Amelia made some yummy treats, so I indulged in a slice of 'Captains America' cake, 4 chocolate and marshmallow muffins, 2 banana and chocolate brownies and 2 chewy Anzac biscuits.

Time to stretch, clean up and get ready for - IRON MAN 1, 2 and 3 wooooh! #MOTIVATION
