Meet Week Update
What is happening the week of the meet for me? Well, a ton and much of it is not good for performance.
Next Installment in Free Program Series: Hypertrophy
Free programming is great, but a program without understanding and direction is like google maps without the highlighted route. Let's look into how my basic mind applies hypertrophy principles to clients and my own training with a free, 2-week program!
Wk 16 Day 2: Third attempts!!!
What every normal person comes into the gym and does every day, MAX OUT on competition lefts, well that is what we get to do today!
Wk 15 Day 3: "2nd attempt" deadlifts
When you are peaking and your train gets derailed with 3 rough days in a row
Wk 12 Day 3: Trying speed work without a back give out
Speed can potentially kill, well not literally in powerlifting, but it has a tendency to throw my back out, lol.
Wk 11 Day 2: Max Effort bench doubles
2018 has come and gone. In the first few weeks of 2019, you'll read about me drinking and putting in a freaking floor. Why is this even relevant to training? It's not! Right now, I'm in a GPP phase which means I'm working out and away from powerlifting. So, you can get some new ideas of ways to train and recover from the terrors that powerlifting can do to your body. Keeping me in this dang spotlight, I'm dropping ANOTHER free program, too!
Wk 10 Day 3 Transmutation: Speed work and Injury
Back was blown up, what do you do, keep finishing the workout. What could go wrong ...
