No...55 pounds. I'm 229 as of this morning.

Due to a one-day-only change in my work schedule, I was able to work out later in the morning (thanks be to God), and do it at the school weight room, which is cool because they have bumper plates and I don't. So, I did some Oly lifting:

Clean and jerk
singles - 135, 145, 155, 165, 175, 185 PR

Clean, no jerk
singles - 190, 195, 200 miss, 200 PR

Overhead squat
65x10, 85x10

woohoo, 2 PRs! Nice work tim, 200lb is huge.

Agreed with MM my friend, 200lbs is a monster clean!!! well done!

Hi Tim and congrats on those PRs. Very nice.

I have been following a singles progression cadence with both my snatch and C&J training, after a warmup of course, and I really like it. There is something about singles training that keeps you fresh for the heavier load and allows you to concentrate on perfect form. I'm doing an Oly lift workout later today and singles it will be for me.

Keep up the good work!

I haven't been working out enough. I suck. Metcon in the morning is just too hard right now, so I think I'm just going to pick up heavy stuff for a while.

back squat
135x5, 185x5, 235x5, 245x5, 255x5

nice squatting tim! you don't suck, you have to get up in the middle of the night to workout... who can blame you for having a tough time with it.

4/23/08:

Who can blame me? Well, I can, anyway...No Excuses! It's kind of you to commiserate, though.

bench press
singles 135, 145, 155, 165, 175
177.5x10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1

Still progressing on this at the rate of 5 pounds a month. That's cool, I thought I would have slowed down already.

nice work on the bench tim!

That's roughly half a kg a week if my maths are not totally off - that's some good progress indeed!!

Way to go!

Nice progression with that Linda-like bench press cadence Tim. I'm sure you are getting a nice pec-pump from that WOD and will be in fine shape for the summer-time t-shirt off crowd.

Keep the pedal to the metal!

Thanks, all! Pierini, the chesticles may well be getting bigger but unfortunately so is the belly. It's not looking good for "tshirt-off season". I'm actually thinking of it as "getting back to metcon, doing some running season".

4/25/08:

deadlift
singles - 185, 225, 275, 325
340x3, 345x3, 350x3, 355x3, 360x3

**minime** · 28-Apr-08, 09:39 AM

hey tim! Yes, the summer is a great time for getting more activity into your day.. biking/running/walking... the belly will shrink soon I am sure!

**gymgirl** · 29-Apr-08, 11:36 AM

hi tim! just wanted to say hi and pop in on your workouts! looks like you are still going strong. ya for summer! i too will join you in the extra outdoor activity! hope you and the family are well--your daughter has to be close to 1 year old now eh?

tim_mcf · 30-Apr-08, 10:03 AM

Nadia, it's so good to hear from you again. Thanks for stopping in, and I hope you find the time to be back more often. Yes, Maelea will be turning 1 year old in a couple weeks!

4/29/08:
Had to do something different; by only working out at 5 am I just haven't been working out at all. So I brought the kettlestack to work and did the following in my Band room after school:

21-15-9, 45 lb kettlestack, for time...
-rh swing
-lh swing
-rh clean & jerk
-lh clean & jerk
-goblet squat

Finished in 17:21.

Hi tim, that's really good thinking about finding, no, making time to workout. Your dedication is to be admired.
