Training: Week 5 Average to Savage 1.0. Coming off the max week I’m always amazed how sore I get from the increase in volume. While the last week was a lot more efficient in the gym, this week I’m still focused on doing 2 monster sets, getting the work done and getting out. I’m stillContinue reading “Training Log 12.29.20”

Training: Week 4 Average to Savage 1.0. This week was the first rep max testing week. I always think it’s interesting how much deadlifts smoke my CNS. You essentially are doing the rep max testing for that lift in week 3 and I felt like it carried over through the beginning of the week. IContinue reading “Training Log 12.22.20”

It’s easy to see how quickly you can fall out of a habit. If that’s journaling, writing for this blog, or whatever. You miss one day and missing day 2 becomes easier. I noticed this with my journaling. I was fairly consistent with this throughout the year, but I got out of the habit andContinue reading “Rolling Reflections 29”

Training: Week 3 Average to Savage 1.0. I continue to enjoy this program. I feel like I get to challenge myself on a weekly basis with the rep sets. I feel like I’m not overloading myself and overall, I’m just content. Body weight was around 205 this week. I hit 225×22 on bench, 335×16 onContinue reading “Training Log 12.16.20”

Training: Week 2 Average to Savage 1.0. Again, I’m feeling much better on this program than on version 2.0. I think the decrease in relative volume has been a life saver. I was a little dumb this week in realizing that I wasn’t doing my rep drop sets on the deadlifts. I’ll probably not doContinue reading “Training Log 12.9.20”

Life changing news is by definition life changing. I received news that will significantly impact my day to day life. I always used to think that knowing a date in the future would be beneficial for planning. Now I understand the tradeoff of feeling like there is a cloud you can see off in theContinue reading “Rolling Reflections 28”

Training: First week over Average to Savage 1.0. Overall, I feel great. Instead of doing three working exercises the cut down to 1 big, 1 big accessory, and accessories has been a needed transition. I feel much better than during the last program. I honestly think it was just too much volume. I also likeContinue reading “Training Log 12.1.20”

Healthy, wealthy and wise. Naval would say – health, wealth, and happiness. I find that even though nobody reads these, I find a lot of joy in just sitting and reflecting. I’m glad I get to revisit some of the articles or reading that I’ve had from the last week. I am very much blessedContinue reading “Rolling Reflections 27”
