Training: Week 10 Average to Savage 1.0. I thought I was out of the woods with my little bug and I had another 3 days of symptoms after feeling alright for 48 hours. Made this past week of training just about doing the bare minimum. Felt back to normal today which was nice. Hit 140×13Continue reading “Training Log 2.2.2021”

Training: Week 8 Average to Savage 1.0. This was the second testing week which went pretty well. It was light on the deads with 410x3x5, squats were 450×8, bench was 300×8, and OHP was 160×7. The Overhead press is a movement I continue struggling with. I just don’t feel like it improves on a weeklyContinue reading “Training Log 1.19.21”

Training: Week 7 Average to Savage 1.0. The past week overall felt good. had to modify training times with drill and I’m glad I was able to get everything done. Was more efficient with my time in the gym and I think I could be pushing my accessories a little more than I am. TheContinue reading “Training Log 1.12.21”

Training: Week 6 Average to Savage 1.0. The second week of the micro cycles has continued to feel good. Still setting rep max PR’s consistently and using past rep maxes to guide training goals. Generally, I’m cutting it off when the form goes to trash or when I’m above that rep max number. As IContinue reading “Training Log 1.5.21”

Training: Week 4 Average to Savage 1.0. This week was the first rep max testing week. I always think it’s interesting how much deadlifts smoke my CNS. You essentially are doing the rep max testing for that lift in week 3 and I felt like it carried over through the beginning of the week. IContinue reading “Training Log 12.22.20”

Training: Week 3 Average to Savage 1.0. I continue to enjoy this program. I feel like I get to challenge myself on a weekly basis with the rep sets. I feel like I’m not overloading myself and overall, I’m just content. Body weight was around 205 this week. I hit 225×22 on bench, 335×16 onContinue reading “Training Log 12.16.20”

Training: Week 2 Average to Savage 1.0. Again, I’m feeling much better on this program than on version 2.0. I think the decrease in relative volume has been a life saver. I was a little dumb this week in realizing that I wasn’t doing my rep drop sets on the deadlifts. I’ll probably not doContinue reading “Training Log 12.9.20”

Training: First week over Average to Savage 1.0. Overall, I feel great. Instead of doing three working exercises the cut down to 1 big, 1 big accessory, and accessories has been a needed transition. I feel much better than during the last program. I honestly think it was just too much volume. I also likeContinue reading “Training Log 12.1.20”

Training: Average to Savage 2.0 Week 14: Deload week – Transitions are always hard and I think I’m going to complete another 14 weeks using the average to Savage 1.0 template. I’ll be training Tues, Fri, Sat, Sunday. The deload week was fine, but I could tell I needed to recover, even with the lowerContinue reading “Training 11.24.20”

Training: Average to Savage 2.0 Week 13. Overtraining carried over to the last week in the second microcycle. Glad I’m entering into a deload week. I’m surprised how the motivation just wasn’t there this past week. I think the time zone change played a role as well as getting back to reality. Didn’t hit manyContinue reading “Training Log 11.17.20”
