    I've noticed over the last few weeks that even though I'm not following a "progressive overload" program as such, once I reach a cardio or strength goal I try to increase the intensity or add something new (incline bench, jumping lunges).

    That's different from the years I spent going to the gym hopping on the elliptical for 30-40 min at level 3, watching NCIS the whole time, then leaving, with some rowing or biking or swimming on the odd day. (Nothing wrong with NCIS, just saying.)

    Another thing: I like to keep my daily calories at 1500-1700 during this weight loss season. Yesterday I did a lot of working out and felt fatigued, so consciously added another 300 calories, mostly higher protein foods, at the end of the day.

    @nossmf

    BTW as to FFL, would you be up to being co commisioner this year? I think it would be great because besides me, you don't know any of the guys personally like I do and if anything comes up (hardly ever does) you can give unbiased opinion on decision to be made.

    Sure, I'd be willing, if you don't think the other guys would freak out about this stranger coming in one year, and suddenly becoming commissioner in his second year without ever meeting anybody. They already freak out about any trade offers…

    Thanks!! After years doing only cardio, I've learned to really appreciate the weights section of the gym.
