After inadvertently taking off nearly 3 months from training I've decided to start doing Crossfit. I think it is more in align with my training goals than only running a strength program. Crossfit takes a lot of flak on these forums but there is a high level of bias.

I can always supplement the Crossfit programming with additional strength work if I feel it's not being focused on enough.

Intensity and cardio are weaknesses with my old programming. I will get both of these with Crossfit along with some strength work. I also like the idea of being part of a community of people with fitness in common as I'm not really getting that from any of my other social groups.

Weight: 145~146 lbs
