Training Log 11.27.22

Training: Finished week 13 of Average to Savage 1.0. Kind of an off week. My wife and I were sick on Monday and Tuesday so I just did two days of lifting this week. Bench was 295×5, 275×5, 255×17. Squat was 445×5, 415×5, 385×17. Deads lifted in the morning and just did a deload 405x5x5.Continue reading “Training Log 11.27.22”

RR Hackett

I’ve been neglecting reflection writings for almost a year. It’s a habit I need to get back into for learning and gratitude. Hackett was the captain of my lacrosse team in college. From reading The Captain Class he fits the description of what it means to be a true captain. The fall of my freshmanContinue reading “RR Hackett”

Training Log 11.20.22

Past week ended mixed. I pretty much told my partners I would not be returning after an upcoming mobilization. I was dealing a lot with disappointment and resentment. I know I need to make a change for not only professional growth, passion and to provide the care that I want to, but most importantly toContinue reading “Training Log 11.20.22”

Training Log 11.13.22

Training: This week was fine from a training perspective. Squat 465×3, 435×4, 410×11. Bench 305×5, 295×4, 275×11. Deads 535×2,1,1. OHP 185×3, 175×4, 165×15. The weight was moving fine. Deads I didn’t hit last week given I trained BJJ then had other obligations on Sunday. I feel like I need at least the weekly movement toContinue reading “Training Log 11.13.22”

Training Log 11.6.22

Training: Odd week. On the bench day I did a longer run than normal and flared up my SI joint. Took the deadlift/OHP day off and just did a ruck march on that day to get some active recovery and felt fine after that session. The squat day was 435×5, 410×5, 385×17. Bench day wasContinue reading “Training Log 11.6.22”

Training 10.30.22

Training: This past week was week 9 of Average to Savage 1.0. I think when I’m done with this I’ll just re-run the same program. I need to be more mindful about how to get my running in as I continue to feel like I’m doing the bare minimum. I also think I need toContinue reading “Training 10.30.22”

Training Log 10.25.22

Training: This past week was a mess. Was on week 8 of average to savage 1.0 which was a testing week. The week prior had great sessions. We were house sitting and didn’t have normal equipment at the home gym. The squats I used a transformer bar on a high setting and worked up toContinue reading “Training Log 10.25.22”

Training Log 10.13.22

Training:Finishing week 7 of Average to Savage. Squat sets were 435×5, 405×5, 385×10. Bench was 285×5, 265×5, 250×10. OHP is 170×5, 155×5, 145×10. Deads are going to get done tomorrow or on the weekend. I’ve enjoyed hitting rep maxes again with the minimum of three working sets. I feel like these workouts are efficient. I’veContinue reading “Training Log 10.13.22”

Training Log 9.25.22

Training: Finished the first block of Average to Savage 1.0. I’m glad I’m back on this program. The first four weeks always feel good and it’s just nice to hit different rep ranges. The above 20 rep sets are certainly something I only get into a couple times a year. This was the rep testing weekContinue reading “Training Log 9.25.22”
