Training 11.24.20
Training: Average to Savage 2.0 Week 14: Deload week – Transitions are always hard and I think I’m going to complete another 14 weeks using the average to Savage 1.0 template. I’ll be training Tues, Fri, Sat, Sunday. The deload week was fine, but I could tell I needed to recover, even with the lowerContinue reading “Training 11.24.20”

Continuing to get lost down the rabbit hole of Nassir Taleb. Uncertain if this is a good thing, as I generally agree with many of the core concepts. While working through these books I find them part motivating and part discouraging. It makes me proud that I’m working in a system where I have moreContinue reading “Rolling Reflections 26”
Training Log 11.17.20
Training: Average to Savage 2.0 Week 13. Overtraining carried over to the last week in the second microcycle. Glad I’m entering into a deload week. I’m surprised how the motivation just wasn’t there this past week. I think the time zone change played a role as well as getting back to reality. Didn’t hit manyContinue reading “Training Log 11.17.20”

Since coming back from vacation I feel a lot more disconnected from work. I think that’s a normal transition. I feel more and more strain from my job and I continue to think that the position that I’m in is likely not sustainable. So the question becomes, how do I make it more sustainable andContinue reading “Rolling Reflections 25”
Training Log 11.10.20
Late on the log this week. Training: Average to Savage 2.0 Week 11-12. Load and intensity went up and I overtrained. I modified the training days while on vacation and I think this contributed as well. We came back and picked up our dog from training. She had diarrhea and was up every couple hours,Continue reading “Training Log 11.10.20”

The importance of disconnecting and stepping back is becoming more and more apparent. I found that I was getting frustrated with the persistent reminders of anxiety provoking information. The value in escaping and reconnecting with those that matter, avoiding distractions, and appreciating where we are is the foundation of a good vacation. The difference I notedContinue reading “Rolling Reflections 24”
Training Log 11.3.20
Workout: Average to Savage 2.0 Week 10. Load and intensity were way up. My right lat/serratus is still giving me issues – mainly with deadlifting. Numbers hit over the past week were strong. Went on vacation so I went back to back days prior to leaving and the second day felt weaker than normal. TheContinue reading “Training Log 11.3.20”

The joy of the sabbatical. I’m excited this week as my wife and I are going on vacation. My prayer for the trip is that I’m able to reconnect with where I was on the deployment. That I’m able to step back and take a bird’s eye approach to life and see if I likeContinue reading “Rolling Reflections 23”
Training Log 10.27.20
Workout: Average to Savage 2.0 Week 9. Load/Intensity is up and I felt a little more beat up than last week. Hitting all the goal numbers consistently, and continuing to work to beat the rep numbers from weeks past. I still think that this program is lacking the weighted carries and single leg work. ThoseContinue reading “Training Log 10.27.20”
