Before leaving, and on the way to the gym to coach at 8:30, I had:

• 6000iu vitamin d
• espresso, of course.

Then I coached for 3 hours, then I worked out.

Workout:

• Snatch, worked up to 95, but heel bruise acted up, so I stopped jumping. So…
• Snatch pulls. Worked up to 255 or more in sets of 3.
• Overhead squats, worked up to about 225 in sets of 3.
• Weighted pull-ups, worked up to a string of singles at 45.
• Muscle-ups, never hit one from hanging, but hit about 5-6 jumping.
• Monkeying around on the rope and pull-up rig.

Post-workout meal:

• Spoonful of almond butter
• 1/2 pound pulled, seasoned venison (dad’s deer). Last of that…
• Espresso, of course.
• The pre- and post- workout BCAA 20g.

002:snack/lunch

• Had a handful of dry roasted cashews on the way into work, then…

• And no, I didn’t forget: this meal is indeed meat-free. GASP!
