Quick rundown of how my training week looks: Monday: Heavy/ME bench Tuesday: Speed lower Thursday: Speed/secondary upper Friday (or Sat): Heavy/ME lower Heavy upper work has been rotating... some full range, some partial movements. The pin presses felt great this week. I felt I was able to keep them in a good position, on the triceps. Sometimes with those, it's easy to get out of position and end up on the shoulders. Moved Friday's heavy lower work to Saturday. Worked some block pulls. I suck at conventional block pulls... but my sumo is great. Saturday, I pulled 1 conventional/ 1 sumo until I failed at conventional. Then down set conventional because you have to train what you're NOT good at. Sure, I could've kept going sumo, but all it would do is boost my ego and reinforce what I'm good at, not build what I'm not good at. It was a good week all around.... training, work, kids, life. Stay focused on what's good. Always.
