Notes:

Went wider on the OHS stance. My feet are pointed more outward for better stability and balance.

FUCK HER RIGHT IN THE SNATCH!!!
 
Nice!
1) How's the back feeling?
2) On the push press, you don't need to dip that far before reversing. Might get more spring out of a shallower dip. All hip slam at that point.
3) "Stretch" the bar on the descent. Like you're trying to pull it apart.

I used to love OHSq :)

1. Back is fine right now. However I'm down with the flu again. The weather has been retardedly mercurial here lately. Hot and cold, hot and cold; one day my nutsack is the size of a raisin, and next it's as big as a parachute.

2. Thanks for that advice. The push press is something that's still relatively new to me at the moment.

3. Yes, I remember reading about that in a *dry heave* Crossfit article about improving your OHS. I'm going to keep that in mind.

But do you love snatches?

BTNPP to OHS

Form work with baby weights

Notes:

As you can see I've been doing a lot of OHS recently. That is because I plan to transition to an Olympic program after this cycle of DTO ends.

Right now, I would venture to say that my current programming is split into 80/20 powerlifting/olympic lifting, and I plan to switch that around.

Now, I know that most Oly lifters don't train bench, but I'm going do it anyway because I just want to maintain my max, or possibly break it. A 405 bench by the end of the year would be tits.


Week 6 is over. Tomorrow, I may or may not start maxing out on my lifts. I'll probably take tomorrow off and start on Saturday. I wanna be refreshed and in prime shape before I exert 110% of my strength in the gym.

Week 6



Que pasa putos?

I'm in Rosarito, Mexico right now visiting a friend. Estoy visitando a un amigo en Rosarito, MX en este momento.

LA VISTA DE PLAYA ES MUY HERMOSA!!!



Yeah, I drove down here from San Diego. It's not that far, about 30, 45 minutes tops from where I live. If you're planning to drive down to Mexico someday, here's a few warnings to heed:

1. People drive like maniacs down here. California stop? Fuck that, Mexican drivers completely ignore the Alto (stop) signs down here. Red light? Fuck you, it's green light to me. But hey, guess what? I drive like a maniac down here too. Cuz when in Rome... Really, I've seen worse shit in Manhattan while growing up NYC.

2. Take the Cuota highway aka the Scenic Route instead of the Libro. Pay the 30 pesos (the current exchange rate is 17 pesos per 1 US dollar) and enjoy the better road conditions, the lack of traffic jams, and of course, the view of the pristine Pacific Ocean glimmering and sparkling majestically under the sun to your right.

3. If you see sirens, don't be alarmed. The police here are pretty fucking cool and chill and won't fuck with you unless they have a valid reason to. Like if you're fucking retarded enough to carry around drugs or weapons on your person. Dumbass.

Really, it's not that different here from the United States.

Mira, there's:



The Walmart here is fantastic. Seriously, every time I'm about to visit my local Walmart, I dread the fucking chaos and disorder that ensues immediately as I step inside this god forsaken place. Dumbass kids always running around and getting in my path, and whining about not getting that toy or candy that they so goddamn covet. Really, folks. Discipline your kids once in a while, will ya? Jesus. Also, the Walmarts I've been to in the US are disorganized, messy, and are clusterfucks; the aisles are narrow and hard to navigate around, random items are strewn around everywhere, and don't get me started about the fucking idiots that leave their empty Starbucks Mocha Frappucino Chocolatte fufu latte sugary diabetes-inducing bullshit drinks on shelves. Fucking kill yourself, already. You make me sick.

Oh yes, have I mentioned that there is not a single sight of those scootypuff fat motherfuckers navigating around in those goddamned disability scooters unlike in the US? Get some fucking exercise, for Chrissakes, fatties. Last time I checked, being obese is not a fucking disability. And if you want to make the argument that it is, then guess what? You did it to yourself, fatass.

Meat here is pretty cheap. You can get a kg of prime ground beef for like 8 bucks here, and a kg of Ribeye for like 10 bucks. Or it could be less than that, I can't quite remember. I was told by security I couldn't take any photos here.

This fuckin' wall outside of said Walmart beckoned me over to take a selfie. So I did:



Goddamn, that's a terrible angle for my wide face.

And here I am in a coffeeshop/bookstore called Café Nerón on Bulevard Benito Juaréz, sipping on a cup of Americano while I'm posting this bullshit on my laptop. A cup of Americano here is only 20 pesos. That's just a little over a dollar, homie.

Because they can't afford them.

Mexico ranks higher than the US on the fattest countries list.

That is true, and I'm quite aware of that.

But still, the obesity epidemic in the United States (and Mexico) is alarming, and something must be done to rectify this ever-growing problem. People have so many ignorant preconceptions about diet in general, not to mention most of them have sedentary lifestyles.

Fat Acceptance is a cancer in our society. I can't think of anything more disgusting, foul, and malevolent than this sham of a movement.

Btw, I'm going to take a few lessons from Sean Waxman in Lawndale, CA once my DTO cycle ends.

I CAN'T FUCKING WAIT!

Max Deadlift

This flu is getting worse and worse as the days go on. This morning, I woke up extremely dehydrated, with a huge wad of brown phlegm lodged in my throat, and a sore back. Just a sign of things to come...

Deads

Beltless warmup

135, 225, 315 x 1 x 3
405 x 1 x 1

Main - Belted

455 x 1 x 0
405 x 1 x 0

Stopped. Will do deads on another day this week.

I decided to do some light squats to make up for this shit session today.

Squats - Low bar, high bar, front, and overhead

45 x 1 x 3 - LB, HB
135 x 1 x 3 - LB, HB, F
225 x 1 x 3 - LB, HB, F

Lulz. Low bar feels weird to me now. I'm just doing these so I can I get my body reacquainted with the "hip drive."

335 x 1 x * - LB (couldn't attempt), HB (1 rep, pb), F (couldn't attempt)

Wow, I couldn't even handle the weight for the LB. My lower back couldn't support it.

225 x 1 x 3 - LB, HB, F, OH



Man, I need to do some more LB squats from now on. I've been faltering on my deads ever since I abandoned the LB and switched to HB.

Shit, I'm sweating like a pig right now as I'm logging this on my memo app. Not just any sweat; cold sweat.

Reverse Hypers

90 x 1 x 10
200 x 1 x 10

This fucking crusty old homo was looking for an excuse to eye fuck the shit out of me from behind, so he used the situp machine that was directly behind the Reverse Hyperextension machine. Did you get a nice view of my rock hard ass, you creepy, muscle worshipping, dirty old fuck? Whaddya think I am, one of those gay 4 pay bodybuilders? Yuck.

DB Stiff Legged Deads - straps

115 x 1 x 10

Cable crunches - kneeling position

80 x 3 x 10

Notes:

FUCK YOU, FLU.
