I’ve been having a little bit of a training and education crisis which is normal. I started off thinking I was going to do the base building program from tactical barbell, then I went to the strength and 5k template, and I’ve settled for now on doing Average to Savage 2.0 mixed with the conditioning template from the strength and 5k template. A week ago I did the Murph for the first time on Memorial day. I did the version in a vest and I guess partitioned. I was wrecked and overtrained by doing this. I was overtrained and my resting HR went way up and my HRV dropped significantly. This bled over into my professional life and I just feel like I’m pushing too hard on all fronts.
Training:
Hit the first two days of the program. Did push press 175x5x5, Squat 405x5x5, close grip bench 205x5x5. Day 2 was sumo dead 435x5x5, DB OHP 65x7x5, Front squat 205x7x5. On all of the last sets I just pushed because of time and did a rep set until I was 1-2 reps from failure.
BJJ:
This has been more limited than I would like just due to my wife’s work schedule. It’s ok for maintenance, but feel like this is in a rut right now.
Learning:
Finished the A4M neurology course. The general premise was to reduce global inflammation. They had some useful information and interesting concepts, but I don’t think this course was as clinically applicable as some of the previous courses I’ve taken through them. Finished 22 Irrefutable laws of Marketing as well as Financial Intelligence. It’s amazing how with longer commute times and travel I’m able to get the information in. I’m at the Association of Ringside Physicians Conference now and take the certification test tomorrow. It’s been interesting as it’s a nascent organization due to the fact that there’s not a lot of providers who feel comfortable managing combat sports. It’s been fun meeting new people from around the country. Have been failing to get ahead on the ILE course and I’ve been procrastinating on getting my paper done. My writing progress has slowed and I have a feeling of I just wish I had more time in the day. Lists have been moderately helpful.
