GPP/Restoration Training: Week 3
Last week of GPP Cycle in the books and the progress is slow, but steady. I won't win the race, but I should finish.
Tier System: A Winter Training Cycle in the Books
A review of my implementation of Joe Kenn's Tier System.
GPP/Restoration Training Cycle: Week 1
GPP/Restoration Cycle is underway. This is wildly underwhelming, but I'm enjoying it.
Week of March 4th
End of 3 successful cycles. Taking inventory and I'll know what tweaks I need to make to hit my goals in June.
Week of Feb 11th
Not a lot of news. Another successful week piled on top of other successful weeks. This is how progress is made.
Week of February 4th
Another week down. Feeling really good, despite the reduction in staff. Sleep deprivation will catch up eventually.
Week of January 21st Training
Week 3 in the books. Nothing special. Just some consistent work getting done.
Week of January 14th Training
A successful week in the books and a lesson learned about focus and making excuses.
Friday Training: Deadlift
Week 2 of the cycle nearly complete (1 more lift) and I'm on track. The start of school will try to interrupt this, but I won't let it.
First Week of New Program (4 workouts)
The first week of the new training cycle is completed and I'm re-energized. Nothing special. Just some simple, focused work.
Wednesday/Friday Training
A solid week under my belt. Noticing progress in my shoulder. Gotta keep that train rolling.
Friday Training: Deadlift
Good finish to my semester. Looking forward to finishing this cycle and playing around for few weeks before I get back on an organized training plan.
Wednesday Training: Deadlift
Another short week because of travel, but it was a good workout. Plugging along like the tortoise.
Monday Training: Squat
Homecoming in Arizona and a Monday workout that was far better than expected.
Wednesday Training: Squat
Did the work today, but it wasn't my best. The schedule and fatigue are taking their toll. The good thing is it's happening later this year than usual.
Monday Training: Deadlift
Deadlifting, Squatting and a few experiments. Good day in the weight room.
Friday Training: Squat
Another week in the books and a new toy showed up, so it got used immediately.
Tuesday Training: Squat and Wednesday Training: Bench
A screwed up week, but I'm staying on track. Using it to finish one cycle and get ready for the next.
Friday Training: Deadlift
Training, Friday, cleaning the weight room and thoughts drifting to the weekend (which I don't really have).
Wednesday Training: Bench
Bench weights seem to be increasing. The program is working. I just have to stay smart and therein lies the challenge.
Wednesday Training: Deadlift and Thursday Training: Bench
Back to back training days went well. Time to get away from the weights until Monday and get some walking/conditioning in on the road.
Did I Do a Good Job?
I'm guessing that other strength coaches think about this too. I can't be the only one, right?
Sometimes "Good Enough" is Good Enough
The best exercise to accomplish a certain goal isn't always the best thing to do.
Monday Training: Bench
Good start to the week. Rain from the hurricane on the Atlantic, cancelled 6am lift I wasn't notified about and it's Monday.
Monday/Wednesday/Friday Training: Beginning of new cycle
Great week of training. Finally settling into a nice groove that feels really good.
Wednesday Training
Nothing special today, but I did figure out what exercises I can do... so there's a silver lining.
Did I Do a Good Job?
With our football season opener right around the corner I wonder if I did a good job preparing our kids?
Monday Training: Squat
Football camp is over, school has started and my schedule is set. Everything is in place for a solid semester of training.
