Phase III Day 4 (Thursday):

Soreness is all gone. I realized I need to spend more time stretching. I'm not very flexible at all and it would be of huge benefit to me anyway in hurdles and strength.

Workout layout will be the same as listed earlier for the next 4 weeks.

Hang Snatches: 75/85/95 and 85/95/100 (Oh, shite I need work on shoulders.)

Military Press: 65/75/85 and 75/85/90 (Yeah..... I'm pretty buff aren't I? haha)

Russian Twists: 2x10 w/10lb. weight.

Prone Rows: 2x10 w/2x25lb. dumbbells.

The ridiculously week shoulders is probably because of my deltoid tear. That might be one of the ones with fastest improvement now that I'm recovered. You never know.

You were clean+pressing 115 the other, why are you only pressing 90 today?

Regardless, good session.

interesting adam linkenauger talks about intermittent fasting as well in his vertfreak program, is there any merit to this?

I am experimenting with it at the moment, but kind of fell off the wagon in the past few days...

I was sitting in the driver's seat of a car in a parking lot. Not sure what I was doing there. Anyway I was waiting for a while and then I looked down to the right and noticed that there was a lioness in the back seat resting her head on the divider between the front seats. I immediately started freaking out but kept cool externally because she was clearly alive and just resting. Didn't want to spook her. Then we started having a conversation about something. Wish I could remember what. Anyway, the whole time I was thinking, "She's gonna bite my head, she's gonna maul my face!"

Eventually she said it was time for her to go so I opened the door and she slid across my lap, kind of like a snake, onto the floor of the car and onto the ground. As soon as she was all the way outside the car I slammed the door, turned the car on and patched out trying to get out of there as fast as possible.

I was just a little ways down the road when I noticed movement in the back seat, turned around, and there was another lioness back there that hadn't been there before. Started freaking out again but keeping cool. Then I woke up.

Would help to have a 3/4 angle (can't really see how stable your knees are there). They look fine from that angle, though. On the last one you started to shoot your hips before your chest, but only a little bit. Just think about driving your chest up.

Not parallel, if you're into that kind of thing.

I cannot film from a 3/4 angle, that column is in the way.

When am I above parallel?

Any criticisms?
