notes-
I'm taking a break now. Leaving on vacation this weekend, so it's a good time. Glad that I did the 5x5, got kind of loose at the end, but overall was conservative and made good progress. It felt good to stick to the program and be patient. Learned a lot conceptually and kinesthetically.
reasons/excuses that I didn't make as much progress on strength:
- started running the last 3 weeks of the program
- slacked off on eating a bit lately, been spending more time out in the heat
- the running caused some bodyweight loss, I'm down to 240 today
- lack of self-confidence
- should've taken a brief break before starting the 5x5, I think it's been something like 22 weeks since I last took a break.
upside
- laid a foundation for future gains
- learned a lot about what I'm capable, the importance of using good technique, set-up, and consistency
