I haven’t been going to many WODs lately (travel, excuses, etc), but I have been pretty steady working out in my garage. I still feel WAY too small for a 5′11 guy and have been focusing hard on gaining strength.
I switched from stronglifts 5×5 to Rippetoe’s 3×5 program. The weight is substantially heavier which better prepares me for 1RM attempts. I dropped down in weight at first to focus on form. I read Rippetoe’s Starting Strength book and am really dialing in on form. My squat and deadlift have improved dramatically, as well as the amount of weight I can lift with each set.
My weight is still down (low 150’s) and I plan on doing GOMAD soon to bulk up. Ryan and Zack’s GOMAD experiences went very well and I finally feel like I can lose some abs for a few months.

“Chelsea”
Each minute on the minute for 30 minutes complete:
5 pull-ups
10 pushups
15 squats
Legs were killing from squats so I basically ended up doing:
3 pullups
6 pushups
9 situps
for the entire 30 minutes. Did RX the first 7 or so before switching.

Been on the road for about the last month or so between Hawaii, Philly, Pensacola, and next week San Fran. Working out in hotel gyms doing bodyweight stuff is ok, but I miss lifting heavy shit.
Visiting affiliates is tough due to the crazy hours we’re bunkered down in data centers. Cised to get back to PCF and the garage gym.
Update on pushups – Have worked on these every day in the month of November so far… HSPU’s are getting better too. I’m excited to see the progress as the end of the 30 day goat challenge.
