What it is: 16 week training cycle broken down into 4, 4 week microcycles. It’s a combination of linear periodization with daily undulating periodization. What I like about what Greg did was he used a modified wave for the rep set. By ended the sets with an AMRAP at the lighter weight I thinkContinue reading “Average to Savage 1.0 Program Review”

Training:Finishing week 7 of Average to Savage. Squat sets were 435×5, 405×5, 385×10. Bench was 285×5, 265×5, 250×10. OHP is 170×5, 155×5, 145×10. Deads are going to get done tomorrow or on the weekend. I’ve enjoyed hitting rep maxes again with the minimum of three working sets. I feel like these workouts are efficient. I’veContinue reading “Training Log 10.13.22”

I feel like the first couple of days have been interesting. We feel blessed right now. Hopefully this can provide some insight into the experience ofContinue reading “Trail of Tears – Part I – Intro/Pregnancy”

Training has been going ok with some recent modifications. I’ve been rotating the accessories. The concept I’ve been consideringContinue reading “Training 9.13.21”

Today is just trying to get the tires moving again. Training: Week 5 of StrengthContinue reading “Training 5.4.21”

Training: Week 2 – Hybrid Athlete – Strength and 10k. This program is very different than the others I’ve been running over the past year. It’s been a good change so far. Big issue has been managing total body stress and the massive increase in volume. The Unilateral work feels great. On the heavy daysContinue reading “Training Log 4.11.21”
