Heading into the final stretch of our strength training program and had a short week this week due to a family vacation.

Two big “Aha” moments of the week:

  1. I noticed that my food intake wasn’t the best and I was lacking energy on some of the days.  This has also been a trend the past week or two especially if I am working out after work.  Teh combination of not enough calories along with using my standing desk is making me a bit more fatigued.  The key here is I have recognized this pattern early and will take measures to correct it in the coming weeks.
  2. My strength gains have been solid over these past 10 weeks and nothing shines a light on that more than the fact that I did 13 max rep set @ 245lbs on the DeadLift this week compared to 1 total rep @ 265 just 10 weeks ago.  Insane!

Next week is an off-week due to a vacation and will be a nice chance to recharge the batteries after 20 weeks of CrossFit!
