I’m never speechless ... I’ve always had something to say ... seriously ... I have a mouth that can keep going and going and going ... but on Saturday, I was rendered f'ing speechless by the judge, and that's totally ok because people like him make this world a better place
barbells for boobs ...
“grace” - 30 ground to overhead lifts for time at 95# @ 5:59
didn’t have enough juice to keep my sub 4:00 pace ... hit the wall at 20 and then it was alllll ddoooowwwwnnn hiiillll ... it wasn’t heavy, just not enough gas in the tank ... and one more reason why training consistently and eating clean is soooooo important.
I’m not fast. But I’m consistent and stick to a pace ... I wanted to beat my 4:47 PR but wasn’t able to move faster (but given how I’m 20# underweight/undershape ... it’s not a surprise)
so I have some work to do ... need to keep working at speed and metcon ... strength tends to come with technique and consistency, so I’m not tooo worried about that. so there’s always time. hell, if I can still climb big at forty-something, a fricking workout is nothing. just need to keep my GRRR on and moving along.

oh yeah, just wanna say i'm glad everyone's shouting washed out all my f'bombs (i was literally and figuratively floored by the support) ... unlike my training habits of late, the obsenities released by my pipes were copious and consistent ... 5:59 RX'd ... lack of explosive power and metabolic conditioning to handle the workload and to move faster showed ... 1:12 off my PR so i have plenty of work to look forward to :)

yeah ... energy levels not as high as I thought ... I feel great mentally and my diet is good, but for some unknown reason, I’m not “itching” to train like I used to ... dunno ...
