Boxing class and Workout B 10/29/09

I don't feel good about missing Muay Thai today. Resolving hereby not to let Monday workouts escape me in the future, because the fact that I was doing SS today is a result of that.

Felt good about boxing today. Took it a bit easier on the initial running, which was back to four laps around the little court as opposed to two around the big one. We did one warmup round with regular holds and bob-and-weave feeds, one round mixing in both body blow-uppercut counter combos. The last round mixed all of the above, and while my partner and I aren't exactly great at giving the feeds, I did get to practice with the coach before it started, and the fluidity of it felt really, really rewarding. Also, I was blinking sweat a little at the end, without having entirely punched myself out. Probably has more to do with my throwing less punches than with my conditioning improving, though.

Met Ben from freshman year at the gym today. He worked in with me, and we wound up doing the exact same exercises. Didn't make the full 3x5x5-pound progressions, but I also didn't quite fail on the later lifts, so I'm calling it a victory.

Warmup sets
- Squats 5x45, 5x135, 5x185, 5x225
- Press 5x45, 5x65, 5x80
- Rows 5x65, 5x85, 5x100

Work sets
- Squats 5x245, 5x260, 5x265
- Press 5x95, 5x95, 5x100
- Rows 5x115, 5x120, 5x120

Ate fairly decently. Had the typical 5 eggs, 3 egg whites split between breakfast and first dinner. 4 glasses of milk in total, 2 servings of cottage cheese with canned fruit/pudding/jello/apple sauce. 1 smallish scoop of tuna, a chicken quesadilla. Stuff seems really disjointed when I put it all as one large clump instead of separated by meals.
