Into the third week of the pyramid phase and I'm feeling pretty solid. The workout today went pretty well, however I was a little sore and worn-out from a weekend full of construction on my new horse shelter. i spent about 16-18 hours out in the sun swinging a hammer, lifting 2x8x16 boards, climbing up and down ladders, digging post holes, operating a chainsaw and everything else that goes along with constructing a pole building. That being said, I still had a great workout. I increased my pull-up numbers by nearly 10, I got a set of 290x5 on bench and increased my incline by 10 lbs as well. I struggled a bit on the seated rows - I did increase my weight 10lbs, but I did not finish the 8 reps on my last set.
I am noticing myself getting a wider back and definitely continue to lean-up. The nutrition has been pretty spot-on. When I do deviate it is still a pretty healthy meal, just not a pile of rice/chicken/veggies and I try keep the calories the same. I suppose I have deviated from the plan 2-3x/week. Now I am not cheating, but I may have a soft-shell taco made with lean ground beef as opposed to the strict chicken/tuna and rice just so I can enjoy a meal with my family :)
