Continue to make progress mainly with more reps at the same load. I did increase my squat on a 6th set and did 2 good reps before my back started to give out and I almost went forward on my 3rd rep.
As much as I remain thoughtful about not leaning forward to get down lower on my squats, I am probably not since I now know what it is like to lean forward. think that I do too much leaning forward.
On my 6th set in the deadlift I tried a new PR of 325 and could not move the bar. Glad that I got 3 good reps in at 315 on the 5th set.
Yesterday I got into a back and forth with some beachbody coaches which just reinforces my conviction that I know where I am, exactly where I need to go, and how I need to get there. If I was just working out for overall health P90X and Beachbody may be a great program for me but it does not fit into my training at this time.
The whole conversation started because I wanted to learn more about nutritional cleansing. After doing a little research I found that cleansing involves calorie restriction, This should not be a part of my diet whil I am trying to build lean muscle mass. In the spring when I shift to conditioning then it may be best that I use 1 active rest day a week to only eat raw fruits and vegetables and drink only water. This is a way of dipping my toes into the cleansing water and would help me cut fat.
