KABOOM!
Hi fellas. Can't remember what I was doing last year at that time, but finals
were over (thanks for the excuse though, Rob). I think I was in the middle of a move back to San Luis Obispo for the summer. Never took more than a week off of training since my last post. Maybe only one straight week total the past year. Other than that I have made it in at least 3x a week consistently.
Since I last posted I finished up the HSS routine and dabbled in a push-pull workout. Currently, I am dieting down to get a somewhat beach bod for my upcoming Australia trip and for the summer months. I was up to ~195lbs. there up until about a month ago and it was the heavist I have been. Not sure what my body fat % was but it was considerable for me. I have lost about 5 lbs as a result of strict training and (somewhat) strict dieting following this program:

I think where I failed in the past with the diets is throwing the whole thing out of the window if I had one too many cheat days, struggled to find healthy foods while away from home, or had a few bad workouts.
No more.
I realize that as long as I remain consistent as much time as possible I will still make great gains.
I have also incorporated something brand new into my training. SPRINTS! They are hell on earth (as I indicated after the first week on my facebook status). However, I have a somewhat sick fascination with them. They're done quick and require maximum intensity, which are two thumbs up in my cardio book.
The program can be found here (I'm doing the 400m sprints):

I'll try and update this more regularly for personal goal reasons, thanks for reading and I hope you all are achieving your fitness goals. Judging from some of the logs I have been reading, you are.
