started training in the morning cause the gym is getting crowded in the evening when I usally train. I have to say though I like it better not forcing myself to get to the gym after work. also I like training on an empty stomach, feels much better, just need to warm up more in the mornings however as I feel much more stiff. all in all though, been feeling awesome doing the morning training.

What are your goals exactly? I mean...in terms of numbers or relative to bodyweight, what are they?

really liked these two days, I feel I got worked on monday, but not overly bad, a great workout feeling. tuesday was really easy, but it was a good recovery focusing on form day. I read the article in the performance menu about the starting position, and it actually felt good starting like that. I tend to start like that, but Tommy Kono taught me to start with my shoulders much more over the bar, both feel good, but starting more upright feels better going into the second pull.

[Timothy Scalise]

cj: 80x2, 80x2, 80x2, 80x2
sn pull: 90x3, 90x3, 90x3, 90x2 (did 2 sets with straps, 2 without)
ohs: 70,75,80,85,90
fs: 110x2, 110x2, 110x2, 110x2, 110x2, 110x2

came in feeling beat up and tired, but after the first CJ double I felt great, at the end of it my legs were pretty dead, but I felt awesome, a slow walk home though lol.

[Timothy Scalise]

so im really really bad at keeping up with this log, I am going to try much harder as I really would like input into my training. all excuses aside here I go

snatch pull: 90x3, 90x3, 90x3
clean pull: 110x3, 110x3, 120x3
pausing front squats (3 seconds pause at bottom) 100x3, 100x3, 100x3, 100x3, 100x3
push press: 70x3, 70x3, 75x3, 80x3 ( wasnt going to do these today, but my friend wanted help with his, so I figured I should just do some)

then 150 kb gobblet thrusters in 11:35

well that workout after my oly training yesturday was a mistake... my legs were fryed today. That is really not normal for me at all, usally am not really sore the next day. so today I attempted to do some snatches and it went lousy, so instead of being a meat head I went home to recover and try again tomorrow.
