Just a quick update today, with some training analysis.
Food.
10:30am: espresso with almond / coconut milk
12:30pm, lunch: 3 eggs scrambled with 1tsp coconut oil and a big teaspoon of almond butter. I wouldn't bother with the almond butter again, it added nothing to the experience!! Also had a banana, a satsuma and a plum.
4:30pm, snack: a Chinese pear and a satsuma
6:00pm, tea: Grilled chicken, 1/2 sweet potato, some romanesco cauliflower, 1/2 avocado, spinach leaves, tomato.
6:40pm: espresso with alm/c'nut milk
9:00, post-training: protein shake.
Training
7:00pm: attended CrossFit class for warm up and squats
Back squat 5x5. Warm up: 10x20lkg, 5x60kg
Working sets: 87.5, 100, 87.5, 87.5, 87.5kg. The set at 100kg felt like it was pulling me forward so decided to stick at a lighter weight and look for perfect form. Don't quite think I achieved perfection!
9:00pm, Leeds Barbell Club - weightlifting. Work on Split Jerks. Managed to work upto 70kg, ensuring I hit one good rep at each weight before moving up, but there were a few ugly ones on the mix!! Finished with an 8min EMOM: 1 hang clean 2 split jerks. Went for good form again, working 6 at 40kg and finishing with 2 at 50kg.
Key learning: getting a good start position which helps me push my knees out, rather than forward, on the dip.
