I’ve been having a little bit of a training and education crisis which is normal. I started off thinking I was going to do the base building program from tactical barbell, then I went to the strength and 5k template, and I’ve settled for now on doing Average to Savage 2.0 mixed with the conditioningContinue reading “Training Log 6.4.23”

It’s been an interesting shift with training. Life is crazy right now and I’m thankful that I have a consistent training program. The thing that’s helped me more than anything is making a decision on the next program prior to completing the previous one. I still think I would ultimately like to get to theContinue reading “Training Log 5.21.23”

This whole week has been a little bit of a mess. Somethings have stayed consistent, but I’ll be transitioning to a new program this week. Training: I pushed back my last day of the 25 rep week of week 9 of the hypertrophy and recovery program because I had my ACFT the previous Saturday. IContinue reading “Training Log 5.14.23”

It’s been a busy couple weeks. Today I felt completely drained. I haven’t had a day where I didn’t work in about three months. The next three months will be a little bit of a grind. Overall, things are going well it’s just trying to make a last push prior to major changes. Training: WeekContinue reading “Training Log 5.7.23”

I’ve done a really poor job lately of writing. I will say this is due to a number of competing factors for time, but it’s a failure on my part and I need to start understanding the value of reflection. The next year is going to be busy and wild. I assume there will beContinue reading “Training Log 4.30.23”

Training: Post Deployment – Recovery and Hypertrophy Week 4I’ve thought this has been a good program to come off the A2S and this has continued through the first block. This past week I was on vacation and training at different gyms. I’m surprised how much I’m feeling this in my hamstrings. Felt good to finishContinue reading “Training Log 4.2.23”

Training: Started Dan John’s Recovery and Hypertrophy program and I’m in the second week. So far I’ve liked it. The workouts are pretty quick, and I feel like I’ve needed to add in the weighted carry work. I modified the goal weights pretty significantly because when I’ve run it in the past I thought theContinue reading “Training Log 3.19.23”

Program Overview:  I’ve previously discussed the basics of this in a previous write up on the program. It’s overall a linear periodization 16 week program (progressive increase in intensity over time), that has several other training concepts mixed in. Training max increases based on max rep sets. It’s based around the powerlifting movements and isContinue reading “Average to Savage Rewind”

Training: A2S 1.0 week 11 Not the best week of training. We were dog sitting and this threw a wrench in the schedule yet again. Got sick going into the week with just a 6 hour GI bug and lost 5lb and was 199lb for the first time in a while. Squat day hit 490×3,Continue reading “Training Log 2.26.23”

Training: Average to Savage 1.0 Week 10I feel like life is very up and down right now. Training this week has been good. Just feel like I’m not really good or really bad I’m just training. Squat: 460×5,430×5, 405×16. Bench 295×5, 280×5, 260×15. Deads 495×6, 3×3. OHP 195×5, 185×5, 170×13. Running: Last week I hitContinue reading “Training Log 2.19.23”
