Kris, If you want to gain strength and size, follow a strength cycle. It is ok for your metabolic conditioning to suffer a bit. I recommend enjoying the process of getting bigger. Eat a lot, drink a lot of milk and lift heavy.

thanks Marshall i’ve been really on the fence about this for the last week and i appreciate the advice. I’m gonna start the SS program in march, the guy i crossfit is goin to the navy so i figure i’d CF with him then do this for i dont kno how long maybe a month or two, never done anythin besides wrestle for a year and then crossfit for almost a year, so this will be different for me.
