Bloody Push Jerk

Yeah that's right. Bloody. Nothing quite like smashing yourself in the nose with a hollow PVC pipe while trying to practice the Push Jerk. Actually...it was surprisingly not that embarrassing. But Fuck. Still feel like a moron. Ten minutes later everything was cool.

So we learned burpees yesterday. And the Overhead Squat. Burpees go like this: standing position...put your hands on the floor, jump back to pushup position, do a pushup, jump forward, stand up and jump straight in the air.

The Overhead Squat: get in squat position, the hold the bar with straight arms over your head, pinch your shoulder blades together and shrug really hard then do a squat. Keeping your balance is tough on this one.

So the workout was:

12-9-6-3 (so 12 OHSs, 12 Burpees, 9 OHS, 9 Burpees, etc)
OHS (35lbs)
Burpees

My time: 6:10

This one wasn't too bad. Was really tired at the end. But I think it was just right. I didn't have to take a nap afterwards which was sweet.

So this is the halfway point. Feel pretty good about how everything is going. We're moving really fast learning new things. Glad I'm not missing any classes. It's tough keeping up with this diet. Especially if I'm out or don't plan ahead.

Physically, I'm already seeing changes. On a whole I feel stronger. Still skinny and weak. But that'll come with time. Been eating basically as much as I can. I really need to get creative...breakfast is the hardest meal. So sick of scrambled eggs.

Gotta go eat.
