Decisions, decisions

Today I finally decided that I won't renew my gym membership and workout only in my garage. I figured that people were strong before fancy gyms were around so who needs them?

Deadlifts today. Felt good.

Tritip, eggs and avocado PWO. I could get used to this.

Squats

Squats today aftet mother's day celebrations. I reduced my training max for all my lifts so I can get more reps in. Lets see how that affects my end goal.

Got a good pump and pushed myself hard.

Update

I've been really busy the last few days and haven't posted much.  Training has been going well. I've incorporated oly lifts into my program for some added speed training.  The new diet I'm on has made me a bit weaker but that should change in a few weeks

Deadlifts

Ive been pretty low carb all week and it showed in todays workout.  I hit 365 for twoand was pretty much done after that. I pyramid-ed down for five sets but could only manage 3 to 5 reps. Probably going to saty at this weight for a little while until I get used to the new diet.

I haven't disappeared

I've been umder the weather for the lawt week amd haven't been updating my blog. Ive only hqad 2 or 3 workouts in the past week and those have been ok.

I attribute my illness and general lack of vitality to training too much and allowing myself too many diet excursions.  I've made the decision to tighten up my diet by eliminating processed food. Ive also decided to take more recovery days.

I hope that this (along with proper supplementation) will keep me healthy and on the right path for strength gains.
