Two facilities, two training strategies and getting there (Dave’s story)

In the past two weeks, you’ve been introduced to Dave’s story (

here and

here ). Long story short: Dave was a martial arts and strength coach who wanted to make his comeback in competitive powerlifting and asked me to design a program for him with the following constraints: - 4 training days a week, average 1.5h/day divided in - 2 days (usually Mondays and Tuesdays) on a Crossfit box with helping friends - 2 days (Thursdays and Fridays) on a generic commercial chain gym with no barbells - Coming from a hip injury with unknown evolution The strategy I adopted is described in the two previous logs. After three weeks (more like 5 or 6 because there was an “adaptation phase”) into the program I was confident that not only it was the best possible solution under the circumstances, but he was actually making progress, gaining strength and reported no pain whatsoever. These are weeks 4 and 5. It gives you an idea of how the strategy was broken down into daily routines (click on the images to enlarge):
