Training: Week 2 of Tactical Barbell’s operator template. All lifts were 3 sets of 5 reps. Squat 435, SSB Squat 335, Front Squat 275, Bench 295, DB incline 100, OHP 185, Clean 185, Rackpull 465, Deadlift 445. This whole week things didn’t really feel locked in. I’m curious how the increased intensity with the droppedContinue reading “Training Log 12.3.23”

Training: This was the first week of doing the operator template. I was home for the past week which was a more major change. It’s nice having good equipment again and barbells that don’t slide and flooring that’s more stable. I feel like my mechanics are off and it will be a period of timeContinue reading “Training Log 11.26.23”

Lifting: With the transition home I elected to try restarting the operator template. I’m curious how it will go. I’ll be following the %, sets and reps based on Tactical Barbell. My lifting days will be Day 1 – Squat, Bench, Rack Pull, bw BSS Day 2 – Front Squat, DB Incline, Clean and Press,Continue reading “Training Log 11.19.23”

Training: Energy has been pretty depleted as of late. I was hitting minimum numbers on most of the movements this past week. Squat – 405×10, 375×10, 350×12. Bench – 265×10, 245×10, 225×24. OHP – 175×10, 160×10, 145×18. This was from Average to Savage 1.0. My goal is to reintroduce deadlifts into the program this upcomingContinue reading “Training Log 11.12.23”

Training: Primarily worked through week 6 of A2S 1.0 and the strength + 10k for the accessory and cardio workouts. Took the ACFT on Friday. Bench day was 280×8, 265×8, 245×10. Squat day was 435×8, 405×8, 380×12. ACFT score was 591. Deads 340×3 easy, med ball toss was 12.5 which was the worst I’ve everContinue reading “Training Log 10.29.23”

Training: Week 6 A2S 1.0 w/ strength and 10k accessory/running. This was probably the worst week of training I’ve had in a while. Part of that was travel and part of that was overtraining leading up to the end of the week. I need to implement some easy strength deadlifts and just start greasing theContinue reading “Training Log 10.22.23”

Training: A2S 1.0 + 10k training. Squat 430×8, 405×8, 375×18. Bench – 280×8, 260×8, 240×16. OHP – 185×8, 170×8, 160×16. Cleans 205x3x6. Training overall has felt good. I’ve been consistently hitting the numbers I expect to hit. We’ll see how the testing week goes this upcoming week. I need to add a couple sets ofContinue reading “Training Log 10.9.23”

Training: This was the second week of A2S 1.0 mixed with the cardio program from strength and 10k. Squat 405×10, 375×10, 345×18. Bench 260×10, 240×10, 225×21. Clean 205x3x6. OHP 170×10, 160×10, 150×20. Things overall felt fine. By the end of the week my body wasn’t feeling great and training was marginal. Running: 4 sessions. Long,Continue reading “Training Log 10.1.23”

Training: Last week strained my back and needed to modify the volume on the lower body day. Training at the percentages was not sustainable. In hindsight should have lowered the training max that I used. That’s always been my struggle with CHP programs is consistently training with weights in the 95%. To me that’s notContinue reading “Training Log 9.24.23”

Training: Week 2 strength + 10k. Volume on the lower body day wrecked my back. Trying to do high rep deads after heavy squats still seems a little dumb to me. Probably should have had a lower training max for the squat and DL which would have made the training more manageable. As such strainedContinue reading “Training Log 9.17.23”
