Warm Up
A bunch of crap
(I went to my usual barber shop for a haircut prior to class. My barber is so nice, but more often than not, he messes up my haircut. He cut my hair too short today. The short haircut completely exposed my balding head. I feel very insecure and unattractive right now.)

Strength
Hang Power Snatch

However, I was unsure if I had 3, unbroken, 135-pound power snatches in me.

It turned out that I did.)

Conditioning
AMRAP (7:00)
10 x Hang Power Snatch <75 (56%)>
5 x Push-up
{6+5}
(My plan for the AMRAP is to treat it as an EMOM. I figured that 7 rounds would have been a solid score.

I was in Heat 2. So, I got to observe the athletes in Heat 1. I was counting the rounds of two of the athletes who were moving the fastest. The two athletes respectively completed 7 and 8 rounds, further cemented my decision to treat the workout as an EMOM.

Unfortunately, the workout did not go as planned. In the hindsight, I could have pushed myself a little harder.

I took off the bandage after shower. I think the nipple is going to look really good when it heals. I took a picture of it for memory sake. I also took a picture of the top of my head. It's very bald. There are also red scars on the top of my head from scratching. I am planning to see a dermatologist about my hair loss.)

I'LL BE FINE BY TOMORROW

I had my third refinement surgery today.

I told my doctor to be a little more aggressive today than she had been.

She listened. She was more aggressive today. I was happy about that. However, I am questioning if she could have been even more aggressive.

Today's surgery will be my last.

Now, we will wait and see.

My doctor told me to not exercise until Wednesday. However, I really want to take tomorrow's class.

Both of my arms were numb 3 minutes into the row. The numbness lasted through the rest of the class.

I had a bad case of diarrhea right after class. My core and legs were weak from sitting on the toilet for about 10 minutes. On the train ride home, I remembered that I had a glass of milk prior to class. Asians are genetically intolerant to lactose. My body handles lactose well most of the times. Tonight was not one of those times.)
