Training Log 1.1.23

It’s a new year and there will be a lot of change this year, which I tend to like as it means challenge and hopefully some learning. It didn’t start off the way I would like with the Buckeyes losing right after the ball dropped. Training: Week 3 Average to Savage 1.0. This week IContinue reading “Training Log 1.1.23”

Rolling Reflections 38

It’s interesting how easy it is to get off track. I’ve been considering restarting writing, but I didn’t know where I wanted to begin. RR started as a means to do quick blurbs on my reading from the week and reflect on it. I think that template served me well, when I was doing it.Continue reading “Rolling Reflections 38”

Average to Savage 1.0 Program Review

https://www.strongerbyscience.com/training-toolkit/#:~:text=Average%20to%20Savage%20program%3A%20A,scale%20your%20body%20can%20manage. What it is: 16 week training cycle broken down into 4, 4 week microcycles. It’s a combination of linear periodization with daily undulating periodization. What I like about what Greg did was he used a modified wave for the rep set. By ended the sets with an AMRAP at the lighter weight I thinkContinue reading “Average to Savage 1.0 Program Review”
