It's been a while since I've made any comments so it's time to write some shit. Moved about 2 months ago and had a little bit more time between sessions than I'd like. Also didn't put as much food down as per usual, coupled with the stress of moving and I lost some weight and subsequently some strength. Got back on the horse though and started up with my own MEBB, which was pretty much a strength movement at 5x3 and a metcon. Have been doing that for the last month and a bit with some decent progress and gains. Strength slowly came back and I gained some good LBM all the while getting some decent conditioning in. I was enjoying it and seeing some good progress but I would like to get a bit stronger and bigger so I decided today to jump back onto the SS wagon and go hard on it for 16 weeks and see what happens. I'm not going to stuff myself with food and drink a gallon of milk a day like I was but this time around go for a leaner gain and try for a higher strength to bodyweight increase. I've found a great little community center nearby. The gym is a bit crammed and there's only one squat rack but there is a set of bumper plates and a small platform plus there's a solid ground of guys lifting there that are pretty much in the same boat and mindset as I am. That latter is the selling feature really. The testosterone was flowing in there today.
