Felt kinda crappy today but I made out ok. I found out that the police academy I was hoping to get into may be pushed back as far as June.

A friend of mine wanted me to go to some mma classes with him but I haven't gone for fear of injuring myself before the impending academy. As long as its going to be 9 months I think I might as well start the mma classes if purely for the conditioning. I'll have to think on it some more.

I had a terrible workout today. I had no strength at all, especially in regards to my grip. My wife was really hungry when I came home from work so we had dinner about an hour before we went to the gym (steak and spinach). I think that my body was busy digesting food and that left me operating at a diminished capacity. I normally do working sets of 315 and today I could barely hold it.

Hiked 4 miles through rock scrambles and crevices.

Got a nice series of cuts over my left eye when I walked into a branch on a pine tree. Another three inches to the side and I could be an extra for the next Pirates of the Caribbean movie.

Felt pretty good today. I don't really feel like I'm making forward progress on the push exercises but at least I'm not getting weaker.

I need to find some kind of program to switch things up and cause my body to react.

Cardio is on the menu for tomorrow.
