10.27.13

Changes this week:
Tightening down on diet
Re-starting a squat program
Re introducing the 100/200/or300 rep workouts as add ons
Re introducing track & light plyos or jump drills…beginner stuff and basically warmup material
Starting crossfit (maybe swap out the 200/300 rep stuff for the WODs)
Some bungee stuff and stretching for rehab

If I can time things right maybe it will work out ok.

Supplements:
Adding probiotics back in, had run out for about a month or so…
Adding in some creatine…
Adding in something for the neurological system…
Adding something in on occasion to open up breathing a bit…
Adding some trib back in…

So that’s the prep plan for next 12 weeks tapering off some of it…mainly the squat plan last 12 weeks… and try and transition to something a bit more systematic oriented.

Will need to be a bit more professional in my logging/tracking, so may just have to take this offline
