Day 15 – JZ’s 30 days of fitness

Holy smokes – Day 15!!! The Official half way point…

15 days down 15 to go – It’s all down hill from here.

So far I have managed to be 100% on my diet (thanks to my re-feeds and cheat days) and 100% on my fitness. However, my fitness seems to have taken a slight step down since Thursday or Friday of last week. Remember Thursday when I took I little fall on the platform on my last set of snatches (I’m a complete fool), then on Friday I didn’t have a great day under the iron either. I did come back on Saturday with a pretty strong workout though.

Today I had scheduled to do my Cleans. And they were to be heavy as I was scheduled for a set of 5 at 75%, a set of 3 at 85%, then a set of 1 (really as many as possible) at 95%. As you could imagine I was psyching myself up since last night.

As I was warming up I felt a slight twinge in my right hip flexor (not good). Of course I ignored it and was determined to hit some serious weight in my cleans. However during my first set I just couldn’t get under the weight comfortably, so I axed my cleans for the day. I was actually supposed to squat so I guess you can say I completely changed my entire workout

here it is raw and uncut;

I think i did 5 or 6 total rounds of the above and worked up a descent sweat so the day wasn’t a total loss. I’ll see how my leg feels tomorrow and throughout the week and hopefully be able to hit my Olympic lifts at the weights I have scheduled. This will determine if I compete or not on the 2oth  of this month…

Nutrition today went as follows;

7:30am – A few turkey meat balls

10:30am – a few more turkey meat balls

12:45 pm – Ascential Protein shake (20grams protein)

1:30pm – workout

2:20pm – Ascential Recovery shake

6:30pm – The rest of my turkey meatball (to finish off my 20 oz of meat for the day)

Well, that’s all I got for today see ya tomorrow
