Always Be Smashing

Got in some skiing with the family over Thanksgiving break. Pretty nice conditions - good snow, reasonably warm - but none of us had skiied for 2 years, so we were all rusty. Good stuff.

WGS sequence
SQT 3x3 300#
HRP 3x15
OP 3x3 135#
Pull-ups 3x3

I am trying to go back on some calorie restrictions, since I've packed on a bunch of weight over the last 6 months. Really felt it during this session - got a little "fuzzy" in the head, despite pretty low volume. Sucks. Cut it short to go do family stuff.

Snatches as a finisher = not a good idea, things just get too sloppy.

2x KB snatch 16x5 45#
25min treadmill run/walk 2.2m

That last season was in a rec center gym. 45# was the heaviest KB they had... but there were 2 off them, so I figured, what the heck. First time I've ever done a double snatch... about as awkward as I thought it would be, but it got the job done.
 
Last Wednesday we played in a volleyball tournament, with a sub replacing our weakest player. It was the best we've played in a long time - we ended up taking 3rd. It was awesome - but it was a long night, double the number of games we normally play. Afterwards, my wife and I were both just wrecked - achy hips, creaky knees, sore shoulders, the whole 9 yards. Ended up taking the next two days off to recover.

Hey StrongFirst. We gotta talk.

I'm not going to be on here for the foreseeable future. It's not you, it's me - for real. I'm just posting my training, but I'm not contributing. I'm not adding to the discussion, I'm not reading other peoples logs the way I used to. I've just got too much else going on right now... and it's only going to get worse as we get into basketball and baseball seasons for my boy. Anybody who knows me knows, that's always priority #1... and as he's gotten older, supporting what he's doing takes more and more of my time.

Y'all are great - this is far and away the best corner of the internet, and I've always taken more from this place than I've put in.

Stay strong. Maybe see some of you at a TSC someday - I'm still gonna be out there lifting heavy s#@^, even if I'm not posting about it.

Completely understood my man. I thought those commitments would die off when my kids were out of school. Now it's my grandson's flag football, soccer, and planning next trip to other grandson's h.s. graduation. Plus there's a new g.s. that is already playing baseball. Our suv usually has fold-up chairs in it all the time. Enjoy your time away. We'll still be makin up $_it when you get back.
