Transition

I decided it was time to take an easy week right now as I transition to a new routine. I'll most likely spend time in the next day or so doing tgu,s, practicing various lifts without going hard and greasing the groove on pushups and pullups if I feel like it.

I'm nursing a sore wrist and a sore knee right now so this should help me get healed up.

I'm going to start getting serious about adding protein to my diet. 4 cups of milk and a cup of iron mind just protein powder a day should do it for now.

The changes in my body definitely make me know I'm on the right track. Next week it will be time to bear down on my new routine.

Making progress and a new goal

I've been feeling noticeably stronger lately.

I had another session with Jordan yesterday afternoon and talked to him about what I can do next. His suggestion was either move on to the ROP or Max VO2. He mentioned the Tactical Strength Challenge which will be held in San Jose again in April of next year and said if I was interested in that I should start MaxVO2.

I'm pretty excited about this the more I think about it. I looked up numbers from past competitions and I think the numbers in the open category should easily be within range if I stay disciplined on a solid routine until then. I haven't tried snatching the 24 kg bell and that seems to be the big difference between the novice division and the open division.

I can't wait to see what happens.
