Training: The past couple weeks have been all over the place. I was in Denver for continuing education and it was more or less a deload week. This past week I lifted twice and followed the tactical barbell template. I need to spend some time thinking about what I’m training for. I like the variety

Training:This was the testing week for the lifts. It’s week 4 of average to savage 1.0. I hit 415×14 on squat, 275×14 on bench, 170×12 on OHP, and the deadlift was the deload 435x3x5. Supplemental lifts were 405x5x3 rack pull, db press 60x6x3, 245x6x3 front squat, and 225x6x3 close grip bench. Testing week went fine.

My goal for this year was to be more consistent with my writing and I’ve failed that to date. It would be easy to make the excuse of having our kid. I just think it’s because I’ve not been as consistent with my reading and staying on track. As a result I don’t have as

Training: Transitioned to Average to Savage 1.0 and the Complete human performance 5k training. The CHP 5k template comes from their powerlifting + 5k template. I’ve had a good response to the average to savage in the past and have probably run this program 3-4 times previously. It’s long and typically I get tired of

Training:Past week of training was the worst I’ve had in a long time. I’ve felt the sleep deprivation coming on and my attitude to go train has been off. I had drill this past weekend which impacted my time this weekend. I also had completed 6 weeks of the easy strength template and was ready

While I still feel like there’s been progress over the past 6 weeks. My wife and I are still adjusting. I know my role is to support my wife, but as the husband I’m really limited in what I can do when she’s breastfeeding. Training: this week was not one where I pushed it. I

The past couple weeks have been full of fatigue. I have been able to get the training in which has been the ritual or foundation of consistency. I’ve enjoyed the training and felt that there’s even been a little progress. Training: I haven’t been able to get 5 days of lifting in like the easy

We got through week 3 of having a newborn. The stress has been cumulative on my wife and me. I wanted to be home more to help out. The newborn dictates the sleep schedule and this has been a struggle. Training: It’s been an odd week of training. The sleep deprivation has caught up and

Training:This week I trained less than I have in a while. It still was a fair amount, but going back to work required changes. I had to get two quick sessions in prior to BJJ and things were much harder given the sleep deprivation. What’s been interesting is that even though I’m sleepy, the weights

Training: Worked through the first week of easy strength. I think it was a good choice given the period of life that I’m currently in. As I push the intensity, I have had to take a step back. I’ve really struggled with the runs. I don’t know if I’ve been pushing them too much. I
