Week 5, Day 1 - The power of the big spoon

I'll be your little spoon any day Erin!

Smolov:
10x3 @ 135
Thoughts: This went great! I had my awesome friend/power lifter Erin spot me and it helped so much with my confidence. She also told me to slow down on my descent and to eat more. I will definitely work on both those things this week. So happy I was able to get after this weight and it felt really solid.

Ro and I post-wod making sweat angels.

Power cleans (95)
Ring dips
Results: As perscribed, 4 dips on my round of 15

Thoughts: Yay no belt! I was really happy I was able to get those cleans without my crutch aka my belt. no failed cleans and I did all of them in sets of 5 or 6. What slowed me were my dips. I HATE them. I feel like my chest is ripping apart and I still don't have the mechanics down of the kip so basically all the ones i did today were strict. But hey, at least I'm getting stronger! It also felt great to back in my gym and surrounded by encouragement and positivity. After last week, it was just what I needed!


Intake:
Breakfast: Protein Shake 
Lunch: Chicken salad
Dinner: Eggtastic taco. Three eggs, two pieces of bacon on a whole wheat tortilla.

My appetite has been way down. I was struggling with finishing dinner. Ain't nobody got time for that!

Ps thanks to Coach Colton Zeck for the pics!
