COMMENTS
  • General: Decent day today. I missed my lifetime bench PR but I'm not too far off it so I'm not mad. I should exceed it soon. I worked with the bodybuilding assistance work today instead of BBB in 5/3/1 and I like it a lot.
  • Nutrition: Really good, ate a lot more than I should've if I want to lose weight though.
  • Body: Not bad but I'm going to be sore tomorrow.
  • Sleep: 8-9 hours
  • Reflections: Couple of things. I think I decided today I want to run 5/3/1 for the remaining 5 months and change until race day. This will allow me to run about 4 full cycles, possibly 5 depending on how many deloads I opt to take. I like how the program has one lift a day with the flexibility for assistance work and since I can do bodybuilding for assistance work I can continue to work towards my strength goals while increasing muscle mass. I also decided to go home for the weekend and do the Cape Cod Frozen fat ass. It's supposed to be 2 loops of 25k but I may only do one because my knee has been iffy recently. Just can't pass up a 15-30 mile run on the beach in January, sounds like too much fun.
