Notes:
-I did the deadlifts the way I've been doing them in stage 1... because I never elevated the bar on risers so I was always lower in relation to the bar than I guess I technically should have been. I also forgot to do them wide-grip... does anyone know if there's a reason to do them wide-grip? I don't think it would change anything much...
-I estimated too high on those BSSs for the first set... I should have done BW from the beginning... whew! Those are not fun!
-I could have gone heavier on the UG lat pulldowns.. which surprised me, so I was a tad impressed withmyself
-I'm not sure I did the reverse lunges right... I was pretty wobbly but I think I got the hang of them on the 2nd set, I will try heavier DBs next time
-5s were too light on the Cuban Snatch things, but 10s were too heavy.... I shouldn't have tried to jump that high... I'll use the 7.5s next time
-Ab stuff was fine, I like ab work... didn't feel the side crunches as much as I thought I should... I'll try to find a way to make them harder
-I felt retarded doing those prone cobras! haha. It doesn't look like I'm doing anything and they're definitely not as hard as the planks... maybe I did them wrong, I have to re-check the book
-I think 8 was a little too ambitious for my HIIT last time, so I used 7.5 and 7.0 for my intervals today... I was also prety dang spent by that time so I took it "easy" even though my face was a nice shade of purple when I was done, haha... me and running have never been friends.. I must fix this.
Yesterday's eats were interesting. I felt like I ate well and healthy all day, then when everything was plugged into Fitday I came out with 48% fats, 35% carbs and about 17% protein... not good. But when I woke up today my belly felt flatter than normal... so I found that interesting. I also just had the last little bit of my protein powder so I need to get some ASAP
