October 31- 185 lb. Got to get back down! Day off from training, after five days in a row of 5-6 minute sets.
October 30- 184 lb. Felt like some heavy jerks, so did long cycle, 2x24, 1m @ 4rpm to warm up, then 3m, 2m, 1m of 2x32k jerks @ 4rpm; 1:1 work:rest. 24 2x32k jerks. Rested a few minutes then did 2x28k jerks: 5m @ 4rpm = 20 reps. A new PR for this weight. My conditioning was not a factor. My weak link was my triceps strength, and pain in my hands and forearms from the heavier weight.
October 29- 183 lb. for the second day in a row. Long cycle clean and jerk, 2x24k: 6m @ 4rpm. A few dips and light stretching.

Yesterday, I ate two pieces of French toast, two eggs, and two pop tarts for breakfast, a ham and cheese sandwich for lunch, and a burger, fries, and half a fried pork chop for supper. I thought I'd be up, not down, but I'll take it. My goal is to be under 180 before Dawn gets home on Nov. 5. Long cycle clean and jerk, 2x24k: 6m @ 4rpm = 24 reps. Some flexibility and Roman chair work.

October 26- 183.5 lb. Long cycle clean and jerk, 2x24k: 5m @ 5rpm = 25 reps. Nordic Track: 20 minutes @ average heart rate of 140 bpm = about 273 calories. Roman chair: full range situps and back raises, 10 slow, controlled reps each. Pullovers on the Roman chair, 25 lb., 10 reps. A little light Indian club swinging to loosen shoulders. Came back a few hours later and did jerks, 2x24k: 3m @ 6rpm = 18 reps; snatch, 24k: 3m (1 hand switch) @ 12rpm = 18/18.
