This was my first real workout since the powerlifting meet on Saturday. I started the day with a light bout of stairs for cardio and then hit the weight room after work. As for food, I ate a spinach omelet for breakfast, bison chili for lunch and a big bowl of Greek yogurt with berries plus a few handfuls of raisins after the weight session. My post workout nutrition is not what it should be, I am just to cheap these days to buy protein powder!

 AM

• Stairs
• 8 times up my 7.5 story building

PM

• Bench Press
• worked up to 315lbs x 8 reps
• Pull-Ups 8 x 8-10
• the pull-ups were done in between sets of bench press
• Strongman Log Clean and Press
• 5 x 8-10
• mostly working on technique
• Barbell Curls 3 x 8-10

You don't have to be a strongman or strength athlete to enjoy the benefits of the clean and press. It is a great all round muscle builder but also sends your heart rate through the roof! I rarely see people hitting it in the gym, probably because it is so hard. If you are ever pressed for time and not sure what to do, a quick workout of only clean and presses will be time well spent.
