Training:  Energy is finally normalizing. It’s taken about two weeks to regain my endurance. This has been frustrating. It’s a period of time when I felt like I took about 5 steps back on lifting. Have been doing monster sets with squat/front squat (315-385/285), push ups (25), power cleans (175-225), med ball toss (10-30), OHPContinue reading “Training Log 1.22.22”

Training:  This week was a little bit of a wake up. The week prior I was increasing the weights and the sets were increasing with ease. This week I felt like trash all week. Energy was down and I hit minimal sets on every day but yesterday. I don’t know what’s up with the stress.Continue reading “Training Log 1.15.22”

Training: Completed the second week of tactical barbell black protocol. Front squats have been 275x5x7s, bench 265x5x7, weighted pull ups 45x5x7, and deads sumo 445×5. I feel like I was slacking with some of the HIIT workouts and I justified with with my BJJ training. I do need to make sure I’m getting my runsContinue reading “Training Log 1.8.22”

Start of a New Year. The timing was nice as I just finished the first week of the black protocol for Tactical Barbell. Have been working on my goals for the past couple days for what I would like to get accomplished this upcoming year. We have a kid on the way and that’s goingContinue reading “Training Log 1.1.22”

Training: On week 7 of the tactical barbell base building program. I struggle with motivation to get the runs in. They get done, but there’s still not a lot of desire to get them done. A quote I heard was the thing you don’t want to do is what you should be doing. I agree.Continue reading “Training 12.18.21”

Will be working on developing my goals and habits for the next year. This year will only bring about more change in my life. I’ll be adjusting to training, working and growing with the added responsibility of becoming a parent. I’m confident I’ll be able to keep training because it’s always been a priority inContinue reading “Training Log 12.12.21”

I’m a little disappointed that I’ve not done as well as I would have liked with the rolling reflections log over the past year. I would like to restart doing those in 2022. I’ll probably add it as a goal. It’s a good way to jot down thoughts on reading and improve my overall readingContinue reading “Training Log 12.5.21”

Training: I believe I’m currently in week 5 of Tactical Barbell’s base building template. This week was the first week of the 50 reps sets. I’m still struggling with the lack of lifting. I think there’s probably a net benefit of taking some time off of barbell training. Nothing awesome to report.  BJJ: Training isContinue reading “Training Log 11.28.21”

Training: Started week three of Tactical Barbell’s base building template. Things all feel well so far. I’ve really struggled not lifting. To suppress this I ended up doing the front squat, bench, pull ups on a couple of the days. My front squat is poor and I don’t feel like it’s really doing anything toContinue reading “Training Log 11.18.21”

Got released from active duty orders and am on a transition week back to “normal” life. Had almost a complete shift in my sleep cycle and all my bio markers are jacked up. Started a new training program last week. Integrating back into relationships.  Training: Week 1 of TB base building. Everything felt fine duringContinue reading “Training Log 11.11.21”
