A terrible Food day with significant binging late night.  Not sure how to stop this train wreck except just say NO.   No discipline!!!

STRENGTH: Deadlift Wendler   Wendler week 4 reps @ 100, 125, 150 # 5 reps each wgt
WOD: 5 Rounds For Time: (15 Min Cap)   Finished 4 rounds and 7/9/6 into rd 5  (complete the remaining 9 HSPUs after 15 min cap-7 Burpees Box Jump Over (modified to step over a 16" box), 9 Knees to Elbows (modified to knees above parallel but not to elbows), 15 Handstand Push Ups (modified with 45# plate)
CASH OUT: Double Unders or 800m Run (Weather Permitting)   Did 1000 m ROW instead

Foundation classes focused on Deadlift, SDHP, and Med Ball cleans....need work on same issues (i.e. Open hips, don't start pull to early resulting in bending arms before exploding with hips).  These issues are present in all movements to bring wgt up whether cleans, snatches etc.  Also, need to begin to focus more on core and always keeping it TIGHT.   These classes are very helpful and I just need to commit to working on them
