This morning's light workout went pretty easy. I did the following:
20k One Arm Press Ladders: 4 x (1/1, 2/2)
Chin Ladders: 4 x (1/1)
12 Minutes 20k Snatches: 6/6 at 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 minutes
I think I can attribute the ease partially to my eating over the past week. Aided by $14 worth of Chinese food yesterday (stupid delivery minimums), my body weight pegged the scale at 183 this morning. I am back to normal eating now and expect to drop back down in the next day or two. The extra food should make hitting Sunday's heavy workout easy.
I used the Gymboss timer on my snatch sets. I wish I'd bought a timer years ago. The ability to set separate work and rest periods is awesome. The round counting feature is another huge plus. This was most definitely worth the $23 I spent on it.
I think I may have a buyer for the weights I put up for sale. We'll see if they show at 8pm tonight. I also cleaned up what is left of the things we moved from the basement to the garage. The gym is shaping up quite nicely again. I enjoy having the extra open space. I derive pleasure from getting rid of things I do not use, especially when someone pays me to haul them away.
I continue to debate on the Olympic bar and plates. The other thing I need to consider is the prospect of getting a 36k kettlebell for the same money. I am leaning towards pushing all the way down to 158 by the end of March, at a rate of 5lbs a month. Knocking items off my goals list will depend on having that half bodyweight kettlebell. Of course, the more obvious solution is to wait on the kettlebell until I hit my target weight. Selling the weight set tonight and getting paid on Friday may be enough to make me pull the trigger for the Olympic set. We'll see.
