Work That Body

This last year I rededicated myself to becoming more physically fit (Sound familiar?).  
I wanted to feel healthy, young, and agile.  I played various sports throughout the week and maybe would hit the gym for a few months then die off.  
"I wanted to make it a part of my lifestyle. "
SO I set a time, created a routine I would work on everyday.  I looked at what I wanted to improve and went after it.  What helped is asking others on what helps build what.  Very focused on gaining muscle mass.  To my amazement, I broke past a couple plateaus and gained about 12 pounds of HULK like muscle.  My body had some type of steroid hidden inside.....kidding.  

Recently, I debated whether I should bulk up further or become more lean and ripped.  I thought about what is most important to me.  

What were my initial goals for working out?    


Of course I wanted to continue woking out, but what methods would work best?  



My two options:  


  1. Continue body building, lifting heavier, and widening my lift variations.  
  2. Crossfit.  Heavy cardio based lifting with whole body workouts that incorporate Olympic style lifting.  
Two very different paths.  I decided to try Crossfit out and see how my body responds.  I'm pretty excited.  What do you think?
