Progress

I have been neglecting the blog lately, but since I got the link from the PCF website, I figured I should update. Anyone out there link to me from that site? Let me know if you did.

This is short, just to let you know I'm alive. I'm making progress on the training trying to focus on things I'm bad at and doing a high number of things I can really improve on (chest to bar pull-ups, heavy cleans, heavy jerks, squat clean thrusters). I have been focusing less on limit strength. I don't care if my one rep max isn't so high so long as I can do pretty heavy weight for higher reps. So if my clean stalls at 245 I don't care so long as I can do 175 10x in a row without stopping.

I also added some of the elements of the CrossFit Strength Bias program. I'll be rotating through back squat, deadlift, front squat, and press doing heavy sets of 3 and 5 as well as moderate weight high volume (think sets of 1x20).

I am also trying to eat 5x fat. It is very hard and two weeks of eating 4000-5000 calories with 60-70% fat, I have gained no weight. I may try drinking milk again and hope my stomach handles it ok. I did, however, notice that I was much skinnier in my profile picture to side there than I am now. And I mean that in a good way.
