Greetings,
I reached the end of three months of doing the 5-3-1 program in increasing my Military Press numbers. I went from a 120 estimated max to a 140 estimated max over that course of time. 120 to 130, 130 to 135, and 135 to 140 in each phase.
I'm taking a break from that to focus more on some fat loss and overall weight loss. I plan to incorporate more cardio sessions daily and maybe even two in a day, with an early morning session and an after work one if weather is ideal for it.
My strength training will be more of a maintenance focus, trying to keep my strength up as I add on more of a cardio base over the next couple of months. As the weather is improving and really getting nice out (we were near 60 today and forecasting 70's until Friday), more cardio sessions will be called upon.
Today with a time crunch I did some condensed kettlebell swings, doing 100 every 3:30 to get in 300 in just about 10 minutes of time total.
I've been doing some reading on weighted rucks, basically wearing a backpack with added weight for a cardio session of walking. I feel it would be a great way to train for hiking adventures in local parks and state parks I plan to visit this camping season. Those might be a nice morning session to do before work and leave a hard intense run planned for the afternoon.
The dieting is still going well, feasting a bit on Easter Sunday but it was worth doing. It didn't affect me much since I got in a run on Saturday morning and a nice long walk in the afternoon, getting about 2.5 miles on the run and 4 miles on the walk. A nice rest day and day of eating really good food was a nice reward.
