Ok, so today was a HIT lower body workout. I just got over being sore from the last one, and I can already tell this one will be killer.

That said, what a difference a few days makes! The last time I did this I was unable to do a squat at 300 lbs. Today I not only put up the 300 but I was able to complete a 10 rep set with it. Granted I couldn't walk terribly well leaving the gym but I'm already feeling recovered. With deadlifts I had the same experience, putting another 20 lbs on for a set of 12 reps. I've been going to the gym for months now and I've never seen results like this. Even back when I was in high school (the last time I was able to perform a 300 lbs squat) it was a multi-year process to get into really good shape. I don't get it, and I'm guessing this is going to level off really quickly, but there you have it.

That said, I'm still dropping weight. I'm not sure I trust my own measurements anymore, though. I recorded my waist on 6/28/09 at 40" even. A week ago I recorded my waist at 37.5" but I thought it must have been a fluke. Last night I measured my waist at 37". I don't think that kind of drop is possible, but my wife is measuring me the same way she always does. She was a seamstress for years and she has made a ton of measurements for business suits and wedding attire so I know she knows what she's doing. For reference I started this whole thing with a waist measurement of 43.75" in March. I think some research is in order...
