Weekend Update: Bigger Will is in the house

Why am i referring to myself as 'Bigger Will'?  The cold weather is giving me the urge to eat more and i will be damned if i am not losing the battle against that urge.  I think i weight 305 now. . . .

These are postings with regard to my training.  i am sure that my clients will put up numbers this week that best their previous data, and dazzle the reader.  Here it comes:

Friday PM
Headstand leg lifts
Inversion postures
tumbling, handstands, wall stands,
25:00 of beautiful strength

24kg snatches
Volume 5,565 lbs./105 reps in 9:35
PR [progress report] Better in Volume, Density [Progess Report = better than Wednesday's snatch session]

Scissor pressing
Volume 2,758 lbs. 20.83% Density
[PR in volume]

Chinning from various grips
Volume 7,808 lbs./32 reps, Density 14.82%
[PR volume]

Pistols, heel elevated
Volume 2,928 lbs./7 reps left, 5 reps right, Density 12.66%
No numerical PRs, but less and less pain in the on every rep, and a new understanding of the pistol and where my body can go with it.  That is a PR.  A Personal Record.  Perpetual Progress.  Progress Report?
Quality of Movement increased. . . . .

Saturday 0600 woke up, clients until 1130
Tested wall stands and wall-stand push ups, cleaned my kitchen, ate perfect calories and watched the Flyers win!
Sunday 0800
Nature walk  2.8 miles, on my feet from 0700-1330 hours, then a movie, 9,000 calorie, 30.00 dinner, and sleep.

Today, my typical rest day, began with a bang.  0700 WAKE UP, Drink that coffee, call that woman, total those calories from yesterday.
-0945 pound my NO-BS Dirty pre-workout powder [gagging noise], ride 1.2 miles to the health club.
-1002 test baseline ROM, dead lifts, hang shrugs, good to go!

Cleans
165 x 1, 165 x 2, 165 x 3 [last set tested negative, so i rested and added more weight]
185 x 1, 185 x 3 [again a set of 3 tested negative so i rested, added more weight and stuck with short rest between reps. . .
195 x 3 singles in 50 seconds tested awesome
195 x 3 rest 2:00
195 x 5 tested every rep, every rep tested well

Clean and jerk 195 x 3, tested every rep, tested well.

C&J from a staggered stance [Adam Glass' recommendation]
195 x 3 every reps tested +, rest 1:45
195 x 3 every reps tested +, rested 1:45

Jerk 195 x 3, tested negative.  DONE!  36:00

Volume of Cleans 4,460 lbs.
Volume of C&J/Jerks 3,120
Total in 36:00 7,580
Density of 36:00 19.02%
PR Intensity, more reps/load done at 97.50% intensity than previous

1 arm DB row data
Volume 5,860
Intensity 50-75%
Density 19.29%
PR Volume

And no pain.  None.  My body feels as though it slept well [that means i want more sleep], it feels like it was worked out [that means my muscles are big], and it looks like i just abandoned my veggies/meat strategy 5 out of the last 9 days [my belly is soft now], but there is no pain. 

Quality of movement in this case also increases quality of life.  For me, waking up after a long night in the rack and no back pain is, well, unfamiliar.  But certainly not unwelcome.  . . . .
