I'm back! After taking the last week of August off due to illness, and for a variety of other reasons, I decided to blow up my NLP (version 1) and start over. Trying to emulate an early-30's former D-I football player probably wasn't a good way to start my first NLP, but I did learn a lot (form, nutrition, belt-usage, etc). I've been mostly following the example given in BBRx for my NLP version 2, going a little bit heavier in the pressing movements. The only mistake I've made thus far is going all out on the chins when I transitioned to BBRx program 1C, getting 10, 10, 9. Holy DOMS in the arms! Reminded me of my beginnings with Crossfit! I haven't been posting mostly due to embarrassment, but now that I'm at the same point as my previous NLP, I feel okay posting again.
My rest between squat sets is 4 minutes. Is this about par for others when in the mid-200's?
