Training: Week 4 Powerlifting and 5K V3.0 – almost all of the lifts were feeling better this week – deadlifts and pause squats were where it was most noticeable. This program automatically increases the intensity over the course of it and it’s not based on ability to hit rep maxes etc. Running has been feelingContinue reading “Training Log 6.2.24”

Training/Running: CHP PL and 5k V3.0 Wk 3. This program took about 2 weeks to adapt to. So far I think they’ve done a better job with volume management than their past programs. I think the past mistake was taking training maxes from Average to Savage, which were more absolute maxes instead of dropping byContinue reading “Training Log 5.25.24”

Insight of the week: I’ve been using the term insight to describe a patient’s ability to see themselves as they are. I just completed the Knowledge Project/Farnam Street Decision by Design course and they instead used the term awareness. I generally use the term awareness more in regard to athletics and the ability to recognizeContinue reading “Training Log 5.12.24”

Overall – during leg day 2 weeks ago strained my left hamstring on my last set of GHR. Now things are feeling more normal. Will be transitioning to the new version of powerlifting + 5K through CHP. I ended up dropping the training maxes by 10% and already the program looks more reasonable. This wasContinue reading “Training Log 5.5.24”

This has been a challenging year. Our second kid was born mid-December, got home from a mobilization and started a new job with a lot more responsibility than I initially expected. Training has been consistent. Just finished week 12 of Bodybuilding and triathlon training, which was highly modified. I have just not had the timeContinue reading “Training Log 4.21.24”

Been falling way behind on consistent writting on this blog. I have been writing for my works blog on the past couple weeks and now is the time to focus on getting the training log out consistently as well. If I can get a couple days of this going a week that’s going to makeContinue reading “Training Log 3.3.24”

Training: Week 2 of BB and Triathlon from Complete Human Performance. My back was tweaked a couple weeks ago and I’m not able to tolerate significant intensity right now with my sleep being trashed from the newborn. The reduction in volume has really helped and it took about a week to adjust to the newContinue reading “Training Log 2.11.24”

Training: A2S 1.0 Week 3. This week was pretty average training. Squat 435×8, 405×8, 375×13. Bench 280×8, 265×8, 245×15. Deads – back wasn’t feeling it so did rack pulls 425x5x5. OHP 190×8, 175×8, 165×15. Outside of the back tweak things were fine. It’s the same area as a couple weeks ago. Uncertain what is theContinue reading “Training Log 1.28.24”

We had our second kid a month ago and I feel like my life has been blown up by this change. It’s hard on my wife, it’s hard on me, it’s just a lot of change. Our family support has been minimal throughout this period which has been frustrating. Work has been very dynamic andContinue reading “Training Log 1.14.24”

Training: Week 3 A2S 1.0. Training has felt like trash over the past couple of weeks. We had our kid second kid right after starting this program. To say that the second one has been more of a challenge would be an understatement. Squat is behind because I missed a day with the birth ofContinue reading “Training Log 12.31.23”
