Condition Kettlebell Gym

Thursday 8/13 - Light Day

As you can tell, my “days” are all mixed up.  I am cramming in my light, medium, and heavies because of being sick last week.  I do a good but of joint mobility every day when I teach classes so I am counting that as my variety until I can catch up to a normal schedule and start bending on variety days.

Light Day 4PM

5x (2,4,6,8) VPP with 2 8kg’s

8kg front raise snatch 2×15 per arm

8kg side raise snatch 2×15 per arm

Undereating

2 miso soups

2 coffee with cream

cranberry, orange, pineapple juice

Arden’s detox juice

FEAST - went to Park Tavern to have dinner with the dog outside 9PM

salad w/ginger dressing

hummus with sesame crackers

2 bison patties (no bread) with gorgonzola, hummus, and wasabi sauce

Friday 8/14 Medium Day

Long Cycle Clean and Jerk 5x(2,4,6,8) with 2 12kg’s

If you aren’t used to doing these, they are no joke.  I thought that 12’s would be easy but they werent - it took me like 1.5 hours to complete this!

And here we come to the Warrior Diet.  In the bastardized version I have been trying to follow, I allow myself 1 day completely off and and one “half day” where I fast but dinner isn’t following the Warrior Protocol (not eating salad first, having refined sugar, etc..) Today I ate a sandwich at 2PM and then went for pizza that night.  It really doesnt fit as  half day but it wasn’t too bad either.  And even though I am doing a halfway version of the Warrior Diet, it is better than the way I was eating before and I am training ALOT more consistently (did I write at some point that between the RKC II and the beginning of this program I had trained 2-3 times in I think 6 weeks??) So even though I am not being as strict as I could be, I am still seeing results.  When it gets to be 4 weeks out from the show (this weekend) I will have to follow theeating program more strictly, but the point of this experiment is to have freedom and not go crazy for 3 months straight while training for a show.

Saturday 8/15

I guess this would be a variety day.  2 classes, 2 private sessions, plus a workshop then waitressed for 6 hours.  I didn’t “train” but I felt like I worked really hard. I am definitely quitting my waitressing job, though.  It just doesnt make sense anymore…  Anyway!

I had to eat early - around 3PM because I had a private session and just enough time to get to work after and I work at a fondue restaurant so A. it’s impossible to eat that quickly on the go before/during the shift and B. I have worked there since 2000 (minus my 3 years in San Diego) so it’s not like there is anything new or exciting there!  I followed the Warrior Diet much better than I thought I would eating at 3PM and working until 1230AM.  There was one big slip up - a table brought in a chocolate cake and gave me a slice - and it was from the delicious French bakery down the street and so I had a piece - and then I had a chocolate cake shot to match it.  So aside from the chocolate cake slice and shot, I did ok - haha.

Sunday 8/16 - off

After a 13 hour standing workday I decided to chill today.  It was my whole day off from training and WD.  It was a good recharge.

Monday 8/17  attempted Heavy Day

First with the eating

2 coffees with cream

miso soup

handful of walnuts

I decided to try my first heavy day of the ballistics block with the numbers I had projected.  5x(2,4,6,8) LC C&J didn’t sound hard to me.  Until I tried it!!!  You see, I hadn’t had much as far as undereating goes and had been standing teaching class from 5-8PM. I thought “I will knock this out really quickly before I mop and feast.”  Yeah right.  I did 2,4,4,2 and then aborted the mission.  I wasn’t sure if it was becuase I was hungry or tired or because I couldnt do more but I decided to just eat dinner and try again the next day.

FEAST - 8:15PM

Salad in a Glass

carrot , onion, lentil soup

BBQ chicken - sauce sweetened with cane juice)

Tuesday 8/18 - Heavy Day (for real this time)

2 coffees with cream

emmenthaler cheese

fruit cup

FEAST - it’s the half day off

BBQ chicken

BIRTHDAY CAKE

hummus, cannelini bean paste, more cheese

Kombucha (pre workout)

HEAVY DAY - Did less ladders but at least I could DO them

LC C&J 3x (2,4,6) I finished in about 45 minutes and probably could have done more but decided to stop.  Next week I will add the next ladder in.
