The focus has continued to be on the development of a routine. I think it’s slowly coming together. The additional question will be is this new normal sustainable or will it change. There’s always potential for disruption.  Training: Week 3 Average to Savage 1.0. I’m a little disappointed my lifting endurance isn’t going as wellContinue reading “Training Log 8.17.21”

Starting to get into a new routine again. It’s been a big adjustment, but stress is greatly down overall. I feel like I’ve been doing a good job avoiding boredom. Training: I restarted Average to Savage 1.0. I didn’t have access to a pool and wanted to lift 4 days a week because I haveContinue reading “Training Log 8.3.21”

Training: Last week I continued the 500 Swing challenge to complete half of the 10k program. This week I restarted doing the average to savage 1.0, the accessory work I’m basing off WS4SB and I’ll be doing the 5k template from strength and 5k. I’m really hopeful that I’ll be able to get BJJ upContinue reading “Training 7.27.21”

The more we take on – the more we start recognizing patterns, the more we start to deal with inefficiencies, more opportunities are created. My wife was making fun of me for having so much go wrong. I think this is from putting myself in positions where there is more opportunity for this to happen.Continue reading “Training Log 7.20.21”

Transitions provide opportunity. There is inherent risk involved in transitions. Transitions in grappling lead to major position changes, submissions, and scrambles. I feel that this analogy is pertinent in it’s application to life. It’s not to say that slow progress from healthy habits cannot happen in a stagnant environment, but it’s implying there can beContinue reading “Training Log 7.13.21”

After I completed the post-deployment program from May-Aug of 2020. Then I did Average to Savage 2.0 using reps on the last set, Average to Savage 1.0, then Complete Human Performances Strength and 10K template.  Average to Savage 2.0  Structure: 3 days a week full body, total it’s 3 – 7 week blocks (21 weeks),Continue reading “Program Reviews”

Training: Finished first 3 week cycle of WS4SB III. First block went well with an increase in the intensity through this time. I was working with the safety squat bar for the first time in a while and I always struggle with that bar as with my levers I bend a lot at the hipsContinue reading “Training Log 7.5.21”

Adjusting to the summer heat is becoming more challenging with time. I feel like it goes from 70 to 90 and humid and it takes a couple weeks to adjust. Training: week 10 of strength and 10k program. This week I noticed the lower body days feel great, but the upper body lifts took aContinue reading “Training Log 6.13.21”

The best couple weeks I feel like I hit a wall. We had promotions at BJJ and the competition classes have been taking a lot out of me. The week following all my upper body lifts and deadlifts were down significantly. I was thankful that I was able to get some time in for readingContinue reading “Training Log 6.6.21”

Training: Week 11 Average to Savage 1.0. This week I was down again. Physically I thought I was getting better, but my lungs still aren’t back and I’m feeling a little beat up. I think this came from a lack of sleep and rebounding. OHP hit 150×10, Sumo Dead 550×2, Squat 405×10, Bench 275×10. AllContinue reading “Training 2.9.21”
