Or were you thinking of me because when I finally move to Texas, I will be a new Church Hunter?

Waiting for Spring, Week 10, Day 1

 

Hip Snatch + Overhead Squat: 3x104, 3x114, 3x124 pounds

Hang Snatch: 2x124, 2x139, Fx154, 1x134, 2x1x144 pounds

I missed a hang snatch and dropped it on my toes.  OWW!  Well.  The bigger the OWW, the less damage is what I say.  When I took my sock off an hour later or so, it does not even look like a flesh wound.

 

But we skipped the squats because of it.

 

I'm not sure why I am having trouble with some of these lifts.  Sometimes I blame her being around.

How are the toes today? 

 

I'm impressed if you can even walk on them after that!

Maybe not ON them.  I'm walking funny, all right.

 

I was a walker as a kid, so I think that helps.  Almost ten years ago, I tore my ACL 100% and had surgery on it nine years ago.  I could still walk.  I asked a doctor about it and he said people have a full spectrum of responses to an ACL tear, but I was remarkably stable for somebody with a 100% tear.

 

It was the same way when I hurt my back on Day 1 of my Recruit Challenge.  I could walk well enough you might not be able to tell I was injured.

Looking for honest opinions......

 

 

 

 

Am I like that girl?  I know most of you have not interacted me that much in person, but am I like her?

 

I will pick on our Resident ENFP, @Tanktimus the Encourager - He interacted with me a bit at Camp..... if you have time.....  Be honest.

Oh, yeah.  Watching their videos just cracked me up!  Kelsey plays the straightperson brilliantly!  OMG!

Honestly, I am for sure an IN. I'm not shy, but there's no way I'm an extrovert. Sorry. I'm way more the introvert in those videos.

I thought you said you were ENFP and I was curious if you thought I resembled the other girl.  Never mind we only interacted in person a few days at Camp.  That's not much information to go on.

Plus you didn't have to worry about a meal plan or anyone's infuriating need to stop and get random tacos when already late omg

 

I dunno, you were very laid back about which classes to take, but it was not your first camp, so maybe that dulled any need to schedule out your time?

 

Seriously who gets crappy tacos when they're already running 5 minutes late

(Butterfly distraction is A-OK though, or I'm a hypocrite.)

Probably because it was not the first time and I knew exactly how the classes worked.

 

For comparison, this is from my preparation for the first trip....

More thoughts about Camp and going through what I put together for a schedule......  I still have to make some tough choices because there should be a 15 to 30 minute window to make it before the next class and some place in the schedule to eat all things.  The last schedule I put together really did not leave much time for eating; and I really need to eat all things.

 

I will be putting together some alternative plans.  Since I do not facebook and did not ask my questions on facebook, I am just going to have to as questions.  Most of them are of a "Would I do well in the Beginner Class or would I do better in the Advanced Class" nature.  When I rework my schedule with alternatives (including eat all things) then I will add these questions.

Today, I took the silly active metabolic test.  That meant I wore a stupid uncomfortable mask and ran on a treadmill.  Give feedback on a scale of 1 to 10 of how terrible I feel.  Or how much I hate cardio on a scale of 1 to 10.  So that fulfills all those tests I have remaining on my file.  After that, #neveragain.

 

I still don't trust biometric impedance as a method of measuring and tracking body fat percentage and lean body mass.  Something interesting:

 

 

Quote

 

CONCLUSIONS:

Fluid consumption had no effect on lower-body impedance despite causing significant changes in hydration state. A slight overestimation in %BF (approximately 0.5%) was observed due to increased BW in the H20 and CHOE trials. This finding may have little practical significance when assessing body composition by LBIA.

 

 

So let me get this straight:  BIA is supposed to be estimating body water mass (kg) based on input height, estimated limb lengths, measured weight and measured impedance (resistance) but drinking 591 mL (1.3 pounds) of water to hydrate has NO effect on impedance measurements and they can't tell they are measuring 50 kg of water or 50.6 kg of water?

 

So.  Yeah.  No.  Still don't trust it.

--------------------

 

Since I was supposed to go into that test fasted and it was already noon, I opted for BWW, then going shopping instead of going home to eat.  I will chalk this one up to a planning fail.  So I was supposed to do was lift for three hours yesterday, go get something to eat, and then go shopping.  That would have made it easier for me to go home after the Sunday appointment.  So.  Yeah.  Planning fail.

---------------------

 

Today was otherwise a quiet day with some amazing Introvert Time.  I tooled around the internet and found articles like the one above.  Then I took a long walk.

[Tanktimus the Encourager]

You left out the best part of the post you quoted regarding camp planning.

The guy next to me made some random comment about being able to tell if somebody lifts a lot.  (The context was football.)  Granted, I don't rep out 225# bench presses for 40.  But I did order a 3 pound rack of ribs and smashed them.  That should be a clue.    That guy was so full of himself.

Plus there is nothing they can do for a hairline fracture anyway. Except to tell you to not do what you are doing.  And who wants that.
