J4GGA2's Log: Becoming More Athletic

Woke up at 76.0kg. Probably found my maintenance cals, albeit accidentally.

I feel like 3200ish calories to maintain 167lbs is a sh*t ton

It is, but if you’re active with a fast metabolism I can see it.

Woke up at 77kg. Probably water rentention since I was fairly dehydrated last night. Was yelling, cheering and jumping for about 6 hours at the Track and Field grand final, which my school won!

Great way to end the year off though

Notes:
I did a few things differently today:

  • Ate some jelly beans during training, because… glycogen :sweat_smile:
  • Changed my squat form a little bit. Put my toes dead straight and put a lot of torque through my knees to “screw my feet in”. At first this messed up my bar path (65x4), but I got used to it be the next set (squat between your legs). As a whole, it feels stronger out of the hole but a bit weaker at lockout, I will probably stick with it though

Conditioning:
Didn’t really feel like sprinting, so I did some more EMOM Oly Lifts

  • 6x1 40kg Power Snatches from Blocks. Definitely went too heavy on these, started catching with my feet spread instead of quarter squatting under the bar. Jacked up my ankle on the last set and now icing it :sadpanda:

Time (Excluding Mobility):
53:10

Sorry for the piss poor angle

Strapped up my ankly pretty tight, hoping it doesn’t have a stress fracture. 2 things to take away:

  • Stop being stupid and doing relatively heavy O-Lifts for conditioning (yay crossfit)
  • Cut out ballistic movements for at least until the end of the deload. No sprints, O-Lifts, jumps. Will take the idea of FSL done explosively after warming up from Beyond Just have to double check the chapter. Conditioning will basically be machine cardio (ugggghhhhh)

May or may not get an X-Ray in the following days depending on how this feels

Woke up at 76.5kg

Ankle is feeling a lot better, but not perfect. It’s definitely not fractured, but I’ll still avoid high-impact joint stressors for a week and a bit

On a side note, I’m thinking I might do 5s PRO, Jokers, FSL and cut conditioning back to 2 days (Wednesday and Saturday). I’ll probably start “3-Categories” of assistance, instead of 1-2. Anyone have any thoughts on whether thats appropriate?
