Back to the base of the Pyramid
"off-season"

Training

Well, it is back to square one and complaining about every movement my body is doing. I have a Hate Hate relationship with GPP, I usually feel like the verge of puking during the main workout but by the time we get to do HIIT I've figured it out and can push a little... then end up being useless the rest of the day, lol.

 

Perspective

All I gotta say is I hung on better than my lovely wife today and Im taking that as a win. I'll let you all know when I get slapped for putting this in my blog. If I don't she never read it.

 

Coaching

I harp on this all the time and hit on it again in the video. This block is of utmost importance, it heals us, gives us a break from the bar. We can bring the pendulum of our health back away from extreme to somewhat normal and enjoy things outside of the gym. We can let the gym training sessions take the back seat to life and enjoy the labor we put in for 6-20 weeks of the previous prep
