Taking a day off due to my muscle knots aching like a motherfucker. Need to spend less time training and more time on massage, foam rolling, stretching, and such. It's boring and it hurts, but hell, I'm in it for the long run and I'm already so darn stiff, I don't want to make it worse.
Other than that on last weeks power-lifting thingy where we did deadlifts, I did 5 of them (power lifting style, 100kg) in one breath, which was interesting. Good thing there's so much room at the crossfit place, so if I'd fall face-down, hey, it's just the ground and nothing else there!
And yes, 100kg power lifting back squat felt quite good! For sure I thought it would feel more dangerous to have so much weight on your back, yet I felt very sturdy while pulling it off.

So, on to some results and some food talk.
I was in a powerlifting class (crossfit 360) where squatting was the focus. Next week, which will be my last week I believe, is deadlift, powerlifting style. The former I think I got a pretty good knack for, yet the sumo deadlift I could barely take on 100kg. I hope to get some pointers as to why this is next saturday. The squatting went really well and apparently I've got good depth considering I'm a newbie too, and so it was that I did a single 90kg beyond parallel, and it felt easier than my 80+ regular back squats have felt, so squat 1.5x Body Weight goal is blown away. I cleaned 60kg, which isn't much, but still a goal I had in mind for the month, since it's my bodyweight. I thought I would even be able to clean more, and I probably can if I just get the technique down better. Lastly, I did 2.2x Body Weight regular deadlift (130kg) which just took a try basically, since I never tried doing a single before, and I did a 90cm box jump, which is lame, but then again I'm quite the coward when it comes to jumping, so it still felt good to overcome that height.
Now, pictures:
It's basically what I ate the day I took the picture, and a photo of some of my food and how it's organized. I did some calculations in order to know how much I spend on food, and here they are too (although in Swedish):
60g Solrosfrön (1,5kr)
==58,65kr
*30 (en månad)
===1760kr
And yeah, this is basically what I eat every day, when I get to decide what I eat, and to some extent I do make an effort to not mess it up all that much. And yeah, I could probably spend less than 1000kr/month on food, if I didn't take all those pesky supplements. Maybe I'll stop using the pro biotics and the bcaa - those alone will save me 300kr/month!

11/2
I have done crossfit! After the cold and all. After the cold, I did 2km on the treadmill in 8:26, and during a crossfit workout I did Fran in 6:04 with 25kg instead of 30kg. I'm looking forward to the Team WOD (workout of the day) tomorow, and think I'll be doing more of those and just open box workouts from now on, seeing how fricking hard the workouts are, and I want to be social too. My heart rate monitor awarded me a trophy last week though, after doing crossfit for just a couple of days, since I was in zone 1 for 19min, in zone 2 for 33min, and in zone 3 for 171min.
There's been a lot of thrusters during these couple of days. I did a 57.5kg thruster at one point, and can probably take 60kg, which is my bodyweight. And to think that one of my lifetime goals (in an open office document I have a whole list of these workout-related goals, although I don't check them out very often) for overhead press/clean and jerk was my own bodyweight! Compare this to the idea that one of my other goals is bench press 1.75x my bodyweight! And where am I on the benchpress? Still struggling to get more than 62.5kg! Well, as it is now I am less worried about getting heavy weights over my head than I was before, and I also do enjoy it more than I do enjoy bench press, so I will probably train more on the former and thus get a relatively speaking better result.
And also got damn what nausea I get from cardio intense workouts!
