Training Journal Series: September 20th

Crazy workout today. Had my pre-workout supplements and then hit high rep Deadlifts. 245lb for 30 felt hard but good. Definitely going to increase the weight next time.
Worked on some shoulder work with the prowler, dumbbells and my trusty jungle gym. Finished with a weight vest walk with about 25lbs. The more consistent I get at tracking the easier this has become. I'm feeling harder and my Jiu Jitsu is feeling solid. Conditioning is through the roof as is my strength.
Food was good today:
7:30-3 eggs, bacon, low fat Swiss, spinach
12-large salad
1-protein shake with coconut milk
2:30-pre workout supplements
4-whey protein with dark chocolate almond milk
8-salmon, asparagus, large salad with onions and tomatoes
9:30-red wine, nuts, a handful of pita chips, low fat swiss

A lot of people ask me how I cook my salmon because to be honest, it's the best I've ever had. I can't eat salmon anywhere (or at least very few places) because of how well I cook it. Here's what I had last night:

Asparagus:
Take stems off asparagus where they naturally break so you don't have that chewy, stemmy taste.
Put on cooking tray and douse with olive oil, salt, pepper.
Bake for 15-20 minutes at 400 degrees


Salmon



Salmon:
Top with a 1/8 inch thick square of butter, sea salt, cracked pepper, basil, paprika
Bake 10 min for every inch of thickness at 400 degrees

This is one of the simplest dinner and A-Mazing. Make sure to only use wild salmon even if it's frozen. The fact that regular store-bought salmon has "colors added" disgusts the shit out of me!

One of the most important things to remember about your training/nutrition plan is that it's not a sprint. This is one long, winding marathon. Don't try to starve yourself, deprive yourself, kill yourself to hit a certain goal. Set it and go for it. A great book on letting goal-setting that is not like all the other ones is one called Psycho-Cybernetics by Maxwell Maltz, M.D. I've read this book a multitude of times and will be the topic of another post.
