<h2>Workout Journal Notes</h2>
<p>My abs were still quite sore on Barbell Rollouts, but definitely not as bad as last week.</p>
<p>I think it&#8217;s the Reverse Lunges with Front-Squat Grip that are torching my abs so much, because of all the core stabilization needed throughout the exercise.</p>
<p>Pistol Squats are still <em>insanely</em> difficult, but I managed to squeeze out one more rep than last week.</p>
<p>Tomorrow is the last lifting day of the week, which means there are only about 2 weeks left of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1600940579?ie=UTF8&#038;tag=fitbucom-20&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;creativeASIN=1600940579">&#8220;Maximum Strength!&#8221;</a></p>

<p>I&#8217;m really enjoying mixing it up with the low-intensity cardio.</p>
<p>Of course, I would never consider going all low-intensity, but I think it has its benefits when combined with higher-intensity days.</p>
<p>Speed camp obviously fills in that high-intensity void, and it does so quite well!</p>
<p>Once I&#8217;m done with <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1600940579?ie=UTF8&#038;tag=fitbucom-20&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;creativeASIN=1600940579">&#8220;Maximum Strength&#8221;</a> in only a couple more weeks, I&#8217;ll be going back to 3 lifting days per week.</p>
<p>Then, I&#8217;ll also have 3 cardio days (high, medium, and low-intensity) with Sunday remaining my off day.</p>
<p>Everything is clicking and coming together nicely as I draw closer and closer to my goal of sub-teen body fat percentage!</p>

<h2>Workout Journal Notes</h2>
<p>I felt really strong right off the bat on Close-Grip Incline Bench Presses, and my shoulder pain was completely gone, not even a slight twinge.</p>
<p>I started with 145 pounds for the first 2 sets, but I felt so good, that I increased to 155 for the last 3 sets.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll be doing my low-intensity cardio again tomorrow for the 3rd week in a row, since it seems to be working so well.</p>

<h2>Workout Journal Notes</h2>
<p>This week was a little bit easier on the Anderson squats, only because it wasn&#8217;t quite as new as last week.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s still quite a challenge to blast up from a dead stop in the bottom position, but I know it&#8217;s really working and going to improve my normal squats.</p>
<p>Front-Squat Grip Reverse Lunges were just as awkward as last week, and they definitely work the core just as much as the legs!</p>
<p>Trying to maintain balance and stay upright leaves me feeling like I&#8217;ve done a total body workout with each set.</p>
<p>That may explain why I could barely squeeze out more than a few Hanging Straight-Leg Raises and why my abs were sore last week too.</p>

<h2>Workout Journal Notes</h2>
<p>The fields were soaking wet with standing water on them this morning, so we moved up to a nearby parking lot.</p>
<p>The weather was beautiful though, almost <em>too</em> hot, as people were stripping down like it was July instead of mid-November.</p>
<p>The above is only a fraction of what we actually did, because it was so fast-paced today with a million change-ups that I can&#8217;t even remember most of what we did.</p>
<p>It was definitely one of the more unique sessions, and I love how we never do the same thing twice.</p>
<p>Today was a bit of a rapid-fire boxing-type workout.</p>
<p>It was interesting too on the sprints to see people&#8217;s strengths shine in different durations.</p>
<p>The first and longest sprint was 60 seconds, and my endurance has improved big time recently, but I still came in 3rd as I gave out toward the end.</p>
<p>Then, I easily won the 30-second sprint which didn&#8217;t involve nearly as much endurance.</p>
<p>And finally, I came in second on the last sprint of 45 seconds.</p>
<p>It was extremely challenging but also tons of fun as always.</p>
<p>Tomorrow is measurement day, and it will be interesting to see how my <a href="http://www.geek2freak.com/4000-calorie-mini-binge-come-see-my-guilty-pleasures/" title="Come see my guilty pleasures...">nearly 5,000-calorie binge</a> will affect my numbers.</p>
<p>Surprisingly, I actually still feel quite lean, but we&#8217;ll see what the results are tomorrow!</p>

<h2>Workout Journal Notes</h2>
<p>I switched back to a recliner-like sleeping position, and I still felt a slight twinge in my lower back today, but much less than yesterday.</p>
<p>It seemed to be exacerbated by the Camel/Cat stretch, so I&#8217;m going to skip that next time and see what happens. Maybe my form isn&#8217;t as great as it could be on that move, or it could simply be a coincidence.</p>
<p>The workout felt excellent, and yesterday&#8217;s shoulder pain subsided as well, from a 2 or 3 to a 1 on the pain scale.</p>
<p>Neutral-Grip Pull-ups felt really good, and I powered through every rep. I actually was expecting those to be more difficult, but the neutral-grip felt very solid.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve now completed Week 1 of the final phase of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1600940579?ie=UTF8&#038;tag=fitbucom-20&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;creativeASIN=1600940579">&#8220;Maximum Strength,&#8221;</a> so I&#8217;ve officially experienced every single exercise, and I am just as enthused about the program as I was on Day One!</p>
<p>These next 2 weeks are all about perfecting and strengthening these last set of workouts, culminating in the big test of &#8220;Moving Day&#8221; at the end of Week 4 to see what kind of progress I&#8217;ve made.</p>
<p>I can&#8217;t wait!</p>

<h2>Workout Journal Notes</h2>
<p>I did fairly well in controlling my carb-up day yesterday. I had officially planned for 4,000 calories, and I topped out at 4,700.</p>
<p>As good as all the carb-loaded junk tastes, there&#8217;s a huge tangible difference in how I actually feel, and it makes me appreciate healthy eating even more.</p>
<p>Less gas, more energy, better &#8220;plumbing,&#8221; and on and on.</p>
<p>Thankfully, it wasn&#8217;t near as debilitating as my epic 8,000-calorie binge a couple of months ago, so I already feel nearly back to normal.</p>
<p>My workout went great, although I did have a few twinges in my lower back here and there, which I also had on Tuesday.</p>
<p>Probably not coincidentally, I also changed my sleeping position the same day, so I&#8217;ll be switching back to see if that corrects the problem.</p>
<p>I have an adjustable bed, and I&#8217;d been sleeping on my back in a reclined position, placing my spine in a gentle curve, which also keeps me from tossing and turning as much, because it&#8217;s not exactly comfortable to flip over onto your stomach in that position.</p>
<p>I think by switching back to a normal flat position, I&#8217;m moving a lot more at night and likely ending up in some contorted positions for long stretches during the night.</p>
<p>Also, on Barbell Rollouts, my abs felt like they were going to rip in half as I rolled out. I&#8217;ve never felt that before, so I took it very slowly and didn&#8217;t do as many reps as I otherwise could have.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t know if it was the reintroduction of Hanging Straight-Leg Raises earlier in the week, or simply the brand new and increased range of motion from having my knees elevated.</p>
<p>Either way, I&#8217;m sure I&#8217;ll adjust quickly.</p>
<p>Tomorrow is the last day of week 1, after which, I will have experienced every single exercise of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1600940579?ie=UTF8&#038;tag=fitbucom-20&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;creativeASIN=1600940579">&#8220;Maximum Strength!&#8221;</a></p>

<h2>Workout Journal Notes</h2>
<p>Ramped up the intensity slightly this week, but it was still very much &#8220;low-intensity.&#8221;</p>
<p>I didn&#8217;t sweat at all, until I felt one drip run down my arm at about the 27-minute mark, mostly due to the fact that I was pedaling on the lowest resistance level.</p>
<p>Even so, it still feels good seeing the distance meter read nearly 9 miles, although if those were &#8220;real world&#8221; miles, they would have been MUCH different!</p>
<p>Today also marks my farewell to Peanut Butter. I always looked forward to my morning and evening servings of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001E4S8GO?ie=UTF8&#038;tag=fitbucom-20&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=390957&#038;creativeASIN=B001E4S8GO">Skippy Natural Creamy Peanut Butter</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=fitbucom-20&#038;l=as2&#038;o=1&#038;a=B001E4S8GO" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" /><br />
, but I&#8217;m letting it go, since almonds are a slightly better nutritional fit.</p>
<p>Not only will they cut a couple grams of sugar per serving, but almonds also add a couple grams of fiber as well.</p>
<p>Plus, peanut butter is notoriously hard to measure, especially as a grab-and-go snack.</p>
<p>With almonds, I simply count out 26 nuts and I&#8217;m ready to go!</p>
<p>With the farewell to Peanut Butter, I decided to mark the occasion and transition with a carb-up day.</p>
<p>This one is nowhere near my <a href="http://www.geek2freak.com/8000-calories-nutritional-breakdown-binge-of-epic-proportions/" title="Would you like fries with that?!">epic 8,000-calorie binge</a>, but a much more controlled and planned 4,000-calorie mini-binge.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s just hope that I stick to the plan and don&#8217;t sneak in too many more calories in the meantime!</p>
<p>You can see all of the goodies and cravings I included in today&#8217;s mini-binge <a href="http://www.geek2freak.com/diet-log/" title="See exactly what I eat and when I eat it!">here</a>.</p>

<h2>Workout Journal Notes</h2>
<p>I felt some slight shoulder discomfort on Close-Grip Incline Bench Presses, but it was only about a 4 out of 10 on my pain scale.</p>
<p>Considering I used to feel that same discomfort, or worse, on virtually every bench press, I&#8217;m hoping it&#8217;s just a matter of adjusting to and perfecting the new exercise.</p>
<p>In fact, it got better with every set, and I didn&#8217;t feel it a bit in the subsequent Decline Presses, though those are known for being less stressful on the shoulders anyway.</p>
<p>It was &#8220;nice&#8221; to get in some Chin-ups, since they and pull-ups were completely absent from the last phase.</p>
<p>I ended strong and will be increasing the weight on every exercise next week, as I&#8217;m still in that first-week &#8220;feel out&#8221; phase of each month.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m going to do another round of low-intensity cardio like I did last week tomorrow instead of HIIT again.</p>
<p>It didn&#8217;t seem to hinder my progress at all the first time, so it&#8217;s yet another thing I&#8217;d like to experiment with.</p>
