I had a decent weekend with eating well and getting in another run on Sunday. I went for 24 minutes of run/walk with 1 minute run, 1 minute walk x 12. Legs were a little sore from the run on Friday when I ventured out on Sunday, so I'm glad I went with the 1:1 style as the calves felt a bit beat up.
Monday was the start of Week 3 of my 5-3-1 workout plan for the military press. Over the past few weeks, I've been getting in some swings after each set of presses. With five sets in my program, I'll get 40 swings in after each set and end up with 200 swings in. I usually add another 100 to 200 swings at the end of it.
After two warm-up sets of 5, I did the main 3 sets of 5-3-1 with 90, 105, & 115 on the final 3 sets for 5 reps, 3 reps and a max of 7 at 115. I like how the last set is a little test for you at the end of it. My estimated max is 140 with the 115 for 7 reps punched into my estimate equation. I've went from 120 when I started in January to 130 in February and 135 at the start of March. Now towards the end of March I'm at 140 as the estimate. Each time I do this 5-3-1 plan I get more impressed by it.
Weight loss is going well too. I hit the 12 pound loss mark since my doctor visit about 5 weeks ago now. I credit a lot of things to that, mostly just tracking my diet and seeing where that is every day and week. My training has increased well with more frequency and I like the new supplements I've been on as well. I think I'm in my fourth week of the Plexus TriPlex pack and it continues to help me out and keep heading in a good direction.
