Training Week of 7/11

got in another 3 training days this week. Stuck with the push/pull/lower split.

Not a lot of fun stuff to talk about as it is very high volume with lower intensity right now. I do feel like its had possitive effects on my muscle mass/body composition. I've been holding steady at 282-286 depending on time of day. This despite the 90 degree plus heat. Also got in 40 miles on the bike this week.

Highlight of the training week was Friday when Jared Enderton and Vince Decker joined Phil and I for a workout. They stuck to their plan until the end when we coersed them into some sled pulling. Good times. Next week last training week of the high volume stuff then a 2 week break from the routine (only maintanence lifting as desired, no set programs). Then we will enter a major 12 week strength phase. Looking forward to it and more on that later!

New Bar Arrived !!!!

Always exciting to get new equipment at MVB, this week we recieved a brand new York elite Olympic Bar 32004. A nice upgrade and I look forward to seeing it in use. I bent our previous bar pretty badly and the new one is just the ticket, plus a major upgrade over the old bar.

training week of the 4th.

Returned from Vacation on the 14th and got in 3 lifts so far this week. Not too much of note as we hit one push, one pull, and a legs day. I must say after hitting some higher rep sets of squats I forget HOW different a toll it takes on your body. Beat to hell, on the leg day did sets of 10 in 50 lbs jumps up to 420 for 10. Followed by a bunch of light front squats with near 0 rest, almost an interval set of fronts. Dead sitting here.

Training Week of June 27

So I took off for a long weekend away over the 4th. Got in a couple of training days before I left. We are taking July to change things up and give our joints a bit of a break. HIGH volume and low rest periods is the name of the game. As I type this I can barely move from the change of pace. This week got in 2 lifts, nothing earth shattering, one push one pull. Also rode the bike 50 miles in 2 seperate trips. I'll report more detail of the workouts later in the month.
