• General: Decided today to go straight across with my sets. I'm undecided on whether or not I'll continue to do this next week. It was definitely more taxing than the old way I did it so it may be worth the extra effort as long as it doesn't mess with recovery. The press and squat were both very difficult today. This was the first day on my new pullup cycle, this time in the 12-15 category as prescribed by the website. First Mwod on my hips in a while.... it was ugly.
• Nutrition: Strict day 7
• Body: Feeling good.
• Sleep: 8.5 hours
• Reflections: Felt good to return to strength training today. Tomorrow I have deadlift, weighted dips and tabata scheduled. I'm looking forward to this week of training in general. For the first time on Wednesday night (after my training of course) I will be doing Bikram Hot Yoga. I read a lot about the benefits of it in Dan John's book so I decided to give it a shot. Should be interesting. Unfortunately I did plan to do HSPU work today and I didn't get to it but that was because I was really busy all day. I'll have time to work on it tomorrow so as long as it gets done no harm no foul.
