Keeping up

Well three weeks in and I feel great. Getting over that strict leg workout was a bear but feeling better every time I go to squat. My deadlifts are improving. Using the smith machine for strict form helps on off days. Keeping myself to 20 mins of cardio every 3 days is odd and I do miss the ass-kicking that is crossfit. I plan on after my fourth week to take a week off from this workout and do nothing but some gut busting WOD's for a week. I am sure Chris will love this. Last week I was away at a conference and had to make use of the resort's gym and to say it was lackluster is a gross understatement. I worked through it and made do with what I had available. This week has gone well. The soreness is not as bad and I continue to improve my weights. The 12-10-8 rep counts are proving to be taxing and I do feel my bench has lost some overall but hopefully with time this will improve. On deck, a lovely back workout this evening. Cant wait!
The diet has gone well too. I am hovering at 201lbs still. I really had hoped to gain a few pounds by now with all the protein intake but nothing. I will keep up the good fight and chug a few more shakes...
