Training: I pushed back my last day of the 25 rep week of week 9 of the hypertrophy and recovery program because I had my ACFT the previous Saturday. IContinue reading “Training Log 5.14.23”

Training Log 4.30.23
I’ve done a really poor job lately of writing. I will say this is due to a number of competing factors for time, but it’s a failure on my part and I need to start understanding the value of reflection. The next year is going to be busy and wild. I assume there will beContinue reading “Training Log 4.30.23”

Training Log 3.19.23

RR 39 – Addictions
For some reason my learning this month has primarily focused on addictions. There was Dr. Anna Lembke on the Knowledge Project. I’ve been working through Paul Chek’s 1-2-3-4 On Obesity, Addiction, and Disease. And reading through Codependent No More. Then I had a good conversation with my best friend talking about levels of thinking andContinue reading “RR 39 – Addictions”
