The past week has been more draining than I expected. Not getting enough sleep appears to be additive. I think there’s also something to be said for routine and ensuring that you get done what you want to get done. I find that the further I put something off in the day, the less likelyContinue reading “Rolling Reflections #11”

Rolling Reflections #10
The past week has been a little more challenging with an overall lack of sleep. My focus has continued to be on hedging and ensuring I have multiple exit plans. At times I feel like this is inhibiting my focus. This leads to my next point of making sure that the foundation is laid everyContinue reading “Rolling Reflections #10”

Different Roads to Mecca. This week has been interesting from a dog training perspective. My wife and I are first time dog owners and we bought a Malinois/German Shepherd hybrid. We are terrified because we want to do things correctly so we have a good dog and not a liability. We had two training sessionsContinue reading “Rolling Reflections 9”

Belief is fundamental. When I think of my patients who are pursuing weight loss or those who are just starting to lift, if they tell meContinue reading “Rolling Reflections #8”

This week is going to be shorter as I just need to complete the task. This week I got through a couple of books on raising puppies as we picked one up yesterday. As we are crate training, I’m exhausted and didn’t get much sleep. On top of this we’re going through a move rightContinue reading “Rolling Reflections #7”

I feel that part of the uneasiness is coming from a lack of unification. In a pastContinue reading “Rolling Reflections #5”

Week 3 Notes – program Post-Deployment Training Program The Workout: The majority of my training over the past decade has been in the 5-10 rep range. So the 3 sets of 8 felt a lot more familiar. The biggest thing I played around with this week was the load on the carries. My limitation isContinue reading “Training Log June 21, 2020”
Rolling Reflections #4
Another wonderful week of learning and opportunity for growth. I went back to work after a recent mobilization and I get the opportunity to continue working on my workflow. The major themes I continue to come back to are “forgiveness and grace” and parallels. I think I’m driving my wife crazy with the habit ofContinue reading “Rolling Reflections #4”
