Day 21: Re-Cap: Zen and Nutrition

Here was my workout for my Sunday Funday:
Density Pull Up: 6 pull ups on the minute for 20 minutes
Density Dead Lift: 5 dead lifts on the minute for 20 minutes @ 150 pounds
***Triangle Pushup: 2 sets of 15
***Jump Squat: 5 sets of 15
Renegade Row: 3 sets of 20 alternating arms @ 35 pound dumbbells.
Dead Clean: 5 sets of 10/side @ 55 pounds
Push Press: 5 sets of 10/side @ 55 pounds
***TRX Axe Chop: 6 sets of 40 seconds on/20 seconds rest
***Car Lift: 2 sets of 10
Thoughts:
Density Pull Up: I was really focusing on form for this one.  I've been getting really tired towards the end and I decided enough was enough, and to nail down the form.  Throughout the pull ups, I started getting into my own head, and really focusing on making each rep beautiful and precise.
Dead Lifts: Same focus: form, form, form.  I really was focusing, and boy did it show.  I was really sweating after the first 5 sets.
Triangle Pushups: I really don't get how people don't like these things.  They're so much fun!  I added on another set just because I felt like I didn't do enough.
Jump Squat: Oh jump squats, how you hurt me so.  I was really focusing on form, and I found that I was really getting into my head; that the more I focused, the easier it became.
Renegade Row: These babies hurt so good!  Wanna see a video?  I know you do!
Lovely little beast!
Dead Clean and Push Presses: I hated these.  I mean, I hated them.  These work my shoulders (which I don't like to work on anyways), and they were heavy weights (which I dislike using even less).  I really got into my head on this one, and just focused on form and breathing, not speed.  Afterwards, I felt this sense of zen, of absolute concentration.  It was wonderful.
TRX Axe Chop: I haven't done this one in a while, so it took me a bit to get back into it.  But you know what?  I liked this a lot better.  I got to push myself pretty hard on this one.  
Car Lift: Nothing much to talk about here, except that it hurt towards the end.
Here's a video of my thoughts about this week, including Zen and nutrition:
Nice hat!
