20 days til U23's

I'm never satisfied with my on field performance. It's partly mental and partly physical, but I always feel like I come up short in both areas and it really bothers me. The more I think about it, the more determined I am to become better. It starts here with having woken up at 6am the day after a game for my first of what is going to be many 2-a-days.

gym arrival: 6:27 am

warm up: bm bar x5

lifty lift: My primary focus in my lifting today was technique not weight. Especially now that the season's started, I don't need to pack on muscle nor do I need to hurt myself heavy lifting. It's all going to be about form, trimming down, endurance and speed from now on.

over head squats: 45lbs x5 x5 x8 x8 65lbs x8

dead lifts: i decide to use the down motion because I think it'll benefit me more in the long run to get good form like that. As I ascended number of reps I feel like my form improved. My last set of 8 was definitely my best.
135lbs x3 x4 x5 x6 x7 x8

hang cleans & jerks: wasn't the cleanest sets I could have managed but happy I could do them all the same with sore-after-game-shoulders. 65lbs x8 x8 x8

tunes: dlz-tv on the radio, make your move-john brown's body, mandy goes to medschool-dresden dolls, under my thumb- rolling stones, stare at the sun-mute math

gym departure 7:15am
