OVERVIEW
Well, I'm getting back into heavier lifting and seeing if I can stay patient enough to steadily work the weight back up and not kill myself, like so many other times. Just tried to keep the weight moving and the rest at 60 seconds. The workout was good, and by good I mean I didn't try to pick up where I left off and slap on 315 and bang out reps on squat and kill my back. I'll start to clean up the weight jumps and keep in line with what the intermediate 5x5 program has for Mondays and Fridays. I'll also be changing to regular Cleans instead of Hanging, the weight was lighter than I thought and I was running out of time so I didn't want to waste time changing the weight.
I'll also be trying out some Crossfit workouts for cardio Tues. and Thurs. and see how that works out.
It is the end of the Fiscal Year for the Gov. so I'm starting to feel the pressure and don't know how many times I'll be able to go to my MMA gym. On a side note, I do have a competition or two coming up and I want to get down to 190 and see how I do on the mat at that weight, it will be the lightest I've ever competed in. Right now I'm at 213 upon waking up, which is usually when I would have to weigh in for a match so that is what I go by. I'll keep you guys updated on my fat loss.
Till next time.
