Two months 'till strongman!

Only two months until the first competition. Its hard to believe that Sparta is coming up so quickly. I started incorporating strongman apparatus into the workouts. Today it was the tires. I flipped, dragged, and jumped in and out of them. It was quite an intense workout. There was a couple of circuits in the weight room as well. I'm wasted tonight - that's a good feeling. I feel as though the cross-training is giving me more energy and improving my athleticism, but I am not losing weight very quickly. I am trying to watch what I eat and I am doing a lot of aerobic exercise. I hope to see some progress beginning there. I want to compete in the light-heavy weight class. I would like to lose several pounds the first few weeks and then gradually lose less as the competition draws near. Losing weight that way will keep me from having to lose a bunch right before the competition and thus hurting my performance. Even if I don't lose all the weight I should still be more competitive by just being more lean. I'll keep you posted.
