Elected to run ES because I was re-reading Mr. John’s books and had a period of time about 6 uninterrupted weeks. I ran the training sets, reps, and days as outlined in Attempts. I ended up running the lifts as two super sets. The goal was to do a program involving lifts I don’t typicallyContinue reading “Training Log 10.31.21”

Training: Week 2 of Average to Savage 1.0. This is the third or fourth time I’ve done this program. I continue to feel that it’s beneficial and I’m able to handle the volume.

Change always comes. Again I’ll be having a significant life transition and the best way I’ve found to respond to these changes is develop a plan. Solidify the habits I want to follow.

I worked up to 500Continue reading “Training Log 10.20.21”

Have tried being a little mindful of saying thank you and reaching out to family or friends on a daily basis. I do think this is a good habit and oneContinue reading “Training Log 10.13.21”

The past couple weeks have been monotonous. It’s challenging to continue pushing ourselves and invest when the end outcome isn’t clear.

The personal challenge I’ve had with focus is justifying the lack of itContinue reading “Training Log 10.6.21”

Training: This past week I started easy strength. This should take me through the end of my time away from home. I strained my back about a week and a half ago and felt like this was a reasonable next step to allow that to take time to heal. This past week I’ve been doingContinue reading “Training Log 9.26.21”

It was a challenging week. Had a cool opportunity and I’m hopeful that young lives will be granted opportunities in our country as a result. Well see how the next couple weeks go. The opportunity I was granted made me modify my training this past week. A trade off that I’m willing to make.  Training:Continue reading “Training Log 8.31.21”

f you seek me you will find. Over the past week I’ve had some wonderful forms of intervention. These have been episodes and conversations that have helped reframe some past preconceptions about my relationship with other people. The first thing that helped me was we need to look for ways that people are telling usContinue reading “Training Log 8.24.21”
