Comments - Time to mix it up a bit if only to keep me sane. So I've got slightly different mobility drills and warm up exercises.

I trained first thing this morning so I went through it all in one go. I've put pumps and Squats as extras because I did them twice this morning and I didn't need to in my opinion. In future they'll only be done once if I train in the morning.

Changed to top of the minute swings which is similar in reps but more efficient. Half the reps and rest but all quality, powerful reps. Also decided it was time I started timing my stretches and taking them a little more seriously. I was pretty close to being able to rest my head on my knees on the hamstring stretch - which is probably the result of losing a bit of my belly.

Ate quite a lot over the weekend - but most of it was centred around meat and I found that I'd actually lost more weight at this mornings weigh in. A quick play around in fitday on Friday revealed that I really need to be getting more protein. I have lost a bit too much muscle since I started. I was also a little low on the calories so justing plugging in a few bits of chicken should work out well.

Incidently this will give me around a 50% Fat, 25% Carbs and 25% protein split. I am doing my family's head in losing all this weight while gorging on fat. Haha

I have been trying to watch what I eat a bit more since I need to stay small for PL. I am constantly amazed by how much good food I can take down and stay the same size, but if I eat McDonald's I gain fat seemingly overnight. Nice session. I am a huge fan of top of the minute swings adn snatches.

Great job and both your diet and training session. Top of the minute ballistics rule the day.
