Current Status

Today, after a lovely long weekend in california, I came back to EFS to hammer out a heavy lifting WOD. 10 x 1 Backsquat, deadlift and push press was the plan and I felt pretty good about reaching some PR's today. Unfortunately I only hit 1 PR in the Deadlift, and much of my technique was less than desirable.

So far with the new training and fat-enriched diet I have noticed a loss in body weight (likely fat tissue) a relative plateau of strength, but my metabolic conditioning has improved substantially. All of this is counter intuitive in that I thought I would be lots of strength, mass, and my met con would dissipate. This is just an observation not a complaint by the way, and I know with a little bit of fine tuning and the continue linear increase in zone blocks, I will begin to start putting on some beef.
I really like the heavy lifting and movement that involve functional actions like hammering or carrying heavy objects. I think if I work of Oly. lifting technique but predominately focus on other heavy movements with a weighted vest. One thing I'd like is to build up my forearms which can be accomplished with carrying heavy things and doing heavy pullups.

For now I will rest and work on getting in all my calories and passing my fall final exam.

Cheers,

Hildie
