Weight dropped somewhat from last week but I am not too worried. Like always, will see where I am at next week, and I am definitely in no hurry. I am actually incredibly pleased with my progress so far, and I am really enjoying the high(er) protein diet.
This last week was the first week of Phase II, with a greater focus on strength. I switched out some exercises, and overall my new routine really flows and I love it. After every workout this week I felt invigorated, which may in part have been to the deload. For my main lifts, I maintained the 8RM weight but dropped the reps to 5, so it was a refreshing break. Next week I will increase the weight by 5-10% and then continue doing so in a double progressive manner until Phase III starts in the beginning of November.
Also, classes start Monday at Bastyr, so I am really looking forward to getting back into the grind. Although, I bet I will regret saying that once the workload starts picking up.
