Ah! Not so fast my soon-to-be-svelte friend! How do you know there hasn't been some recomp? You may have lost some fat but gained in all the right places. It's quite likely in your case as you are returning to your former glory.

Indeed, I have had some thoughts along those lines. I seem to "appear" to be more muscular, but the weight stays the same.

I'm surprised how easy it has been. In my weight class I get a free meal and a refeed each week. I have yet to go to bed hungry. Lyle's idea of "diet" is very different from what I grew up with.

Hey TR I'm kinda surprised how easy it has been also. The first day was a little rough but now I don't fell that hungry at all. I am in the same class as you with one refeed per week and one free meal. I am also surprised by my energy levels. Not bad considering only taking in between 1000 and 1200 calories a day. I am going to run with the diet for 4 weeks then do a couple of weeks at maintenance and then go back into it. Went from 173 to 164, but have held steady at 164 for about three days now. Slipped into a pair of 32 pants for the first time in a couple years so I know it must be working.

Great job on dropping the weight. I hope I can do as well when I eventually end up having to cut. I’m getting awfully use to eating much more than usual right now.

Since last Weds. this diet has really seemed to kick in. Weight down to 161 from 173 when I started and I can see changes almost on a daily basis. My diet has basically been three meals a day of 6oz. cold skinless rotisserie chicken, cucumbers and red peppers. Boring but effective.

Congrats on the diet progress! I've been eating a lot of the same stuff for about a month now and it has def gotten boring, but I know I'm getting everything I need in the right quantities so I just need to stick with the plan.

Q: When CFF says 'anyway overhead', is that overhead from rack position or from the ground?
 
WD,

Thanks I never really looked into it and just assumed that anyway overhead was your choice of getting there whether it be cleaning and jerking it, push pressing, overhead pressing, overhead squatting or whatever.

I'm pretty sure the 125 power snatch is the most I've done on this lift. Gotta go and look back. In my 5th week of the RFL diet and I am down to 158#. Looking pretty lean, but still have some stubborn midsection flab to go.(Not much) Pretty pleased with the results. I'm pretty sure I am going to go Paleo with milk after that.
 
158 pounds? How tall are you, Bax? What's your goal - weight or look (or something else)?

Doing all that volume with such a low body mass makes it all the more impressive. Wow man!

Squat 10x2 @ 80% of 1 RM (45 seconds rest)

Complete for time:
50 Ball Slams - 40 lbs
50 Double Unders
*Every time you break on the double unders count a penalty.
*1 Penalty = 5 Ball Slams assessed after the DUs.

Used a 20# med ball and subbed tuck jumps for the double unders TIME 3:57

Tim, I'm 5'9" and my goal right now is to stay as strong as possible while getting down to about 8% BF. From there I just want to look and feel good, eat healthy and get stronger without all the excess baggage. I'll probably stick with the crossfit football because I like the strength workouts mixed with the metcon. Its a nice variety while still concentrating on the lifts I enjoy doing.
