I've completed another 12 week training block. Wowza. Here we are. I retested all 3 lifts and managed PRs on all of them. Everything felt great, though I was hoping for a bigger jump on deadlift. I wanted 300 pounds so badly, but fell short.

New numbers:
- squat: 235 lbs - bench: 140 lbs - deadlift: 280 lbs

I'm not sure if it was the end of the 12 week block or a couple migraines or a combination of both things, but I was feeling kind of down after my deadlift retest. The question of "what next" is already becoming a heavy thought. I can easily run another 12 week block and just move my numbers forward again. Also thinking that a change could do me some good--a shorter block with more focus on growth. If I don't like it I can always switch it up/come back to the tried and true. Training for strength is absolutely wonderful. It's taught me so much and brought my mental game up exponentially. However, my body is really feeling all of the stress I have put on it over the past few years. I'm not a spring chicken to begin with. We will see what I decide. I have just under a week of light work/deload to reset my CNS and then it's time for something new.
