Getting adjusted

Introducing my body to volume and repetition is feeling pretty much how I would expect it to. I've been trying to help the transition by choosing between high volume with light weight and low intensity and shorter, higher intensity metcons. Adding in grip volume is definitely getting noticed, and I'm getting more consistent and aggressive with SMR. The diet switch (from full ad-lib to strict Paleo) is in full swing and energy levels are feeling fine. Focus is still on strength maintenance while building strength endurance and metcon capacity.

Friday:
Deadlifts 3-3-3 (295, 315, 335)
