13 days left til U23's

god bless the snooze button. started off a little later than i meant to this morning but it worked out just fine. it wasn't a very intense workout but i expect this evenings run to give me more than enough intensity for the day. the game was fun, even though it was a little disappointing. however i was please with my own performance in the front row and i'm feeling a lot more confident now about making the switch.

gym arrival: 6:40am

warm up: bm bar x5 (always tough on a monday morning)

liftylift: I tried to focus on being as explosive as possible with these two moves, once again not so easy on a monday morning. I chose jerks and back squats to use the muscles and forms that you use for lineout lifts and scrumming. i might not be the biggest front row but i'll sure try to become the strongest. I by no means maxed out on either of these this morning but like i said, i tried to explode into position as best as i could.

back squats: 95lbs x5, 115lbs x5, 135lbs x5, 145lbs x8 x5, 165lbs x5, 175lbs x5 x5 x5

jerks: 95lbs x5x5x5x5x5

dumbbell raises for mah shouldahs: 12.5lbs x8ES side, diagonal, front

tunes: the wizard turns on-the flaming lips, ellen and ben-dismemberment plan, autumn almanac-the kinks, right kind of wrong-leanne rhymes, all my friends-lcd soundsystem

gym departure: 7:25am

EXPLOSIVE!
