Had my first day of class today. Super pumped to be back in school, I really do enjoy it, and it helps me get into a good routine of keeping busy and training. Psyched that I pretty much held to my diet all of the last 7 days. Only wavered on Saturday when I had a big sandwich, but I skipped a couple of my other smaller meals, so I probably wasn't over my caloric intake too much.

Worked out today. I've been following James Wilson mtbstrengthcoach.com training plan for about 6 weeks now. Having followed bodybuilding based workouts for the last couple of years I have been a bit skeptical of the program just because the first few phases don't have many heavy power moves in them. I hadn't done deadlifts in about 4 weeks and there were some beef cake meat heads at the gym today bouncing the barbell of their chests when bench pressing so I decided I would show them what really weight is. My deadlift has always been strong but since I haven't done them in a while I wasn't sure what I would be able to pull. I have to say I now have full faith in James workout plan now, as I pulled 415x1 at a body-weight of 190lbs. New personal record for me so I'm pumped considering I haven't even been training my deadlift specifically.  Other than that I followed my prescribed weight routine from James, and did intervals after the weights. Feel great, stronger, more powerful, and leaner by the day. Cheers.
