I've lifted twice here in Pittsburgh with Corey.  Once working shoulders (shoulder pressx5, push pressx5, shoulder jerkx5) and I ran about 25 pounds behind Corey each time.  Not surprising, perhaps, but a little depressing.  I have no idea where I would have trailed him a year ago, and logic tells me it should have been more than 25 pounds, but really I just ended up feeling inadequate.  Time in Pittsburgh has followed the "I know I won't eat well so I won't try to make major strides" principle.  Hopefully, when I return to Boston, I'll get back on the protein wagon and I'll go back to doing work.

P.S. the second workout with Corey was a crossfit: 5 shoulder press 15#/hand, 10 captain's chair leglift, 15 clean 25#: AMRAP 20 minutes.  I got 8+6 clean.  It was intended to be hspu, knees to shoulders, clean but i can't HSPU and I am trying to save my shoulders trouble here by not trying to do the knees to elbows that would have been my maximum output.  I got a weird feeling in my legs where they ended up pretty twitchy, but that was pretty much the most drama the workout gave me.  Now I'm feeling down because I leave Pittsburgh soon.  I want to go back to doing some real work in the gym.  I need to get back out there.

Getting skyed twice in a row by Alex Thorne is more than enough incentive for me.  Fuck That Noise.
