Coaching Logs
5/12- Thankfully the last heavy squat day w/video, 2 Weeks out from the APF Equipped Nationals
We’re all feeling pretty beat up at this point and are ready to deload and take some time off.
Two and Out
I am not saying to keep doing what you don't like or hate to do. What I am saying is don't quit just because progress stops or you got injured. This post touches on some of the reasons why.
REUNITED AND IT FEELS SO GOOD
Log update with week 3 of training purgatory, my 5/3/Awesome rehab program and a visit from the Mayor
5/11- Accessory Work (back, bis, and grip), 2 weeks out from the APF Equipped Nationals
Due to my previous issues with swelling of my hands due to my autoimmune issue I had avoided doing direct bicep or grip work for a while. I was happy to see that my strength has been maintained.
They Can't all Be Great - 550 No Hands Front Squat - 335x20 Revers grip bench - 2016wk20
While it wasn't a stellar week I did some battling with myself and I believe I won. I completely walked away from one workout coming back to hit a PR session the next day when I finished it. In my training plan you can see how the core lifts are being managed via velocity measurements. These velocity measurements are built off of my individual profiling sessions of these lifts. Then using a reps in reserve to manage my accessory work as well as tracking of the perceived workout difficulty which are all visible in the training log.
