Building, building, building..... After some distractions that forced me away from my training, I am so pleased to be back to the gym and focusing on rebuilding and shattering some very specific grip goals in late January 2016. I am eager to rebuild and continue moving forward with competing, being a business owner and enjoying the off season for my minions while they get back into the gym, work with their coaches and make every training day count.

From Thursday, December 3, 2015

Things are starting to look up and more in line with mediocre, rather than the bottom of the barrel. That means progress is happening! It's inconsistent from day to day but I am seeing indicators that make me excited to regain my strength and continue to put work in.

Double Overhand Axle DL It was a late morning getting in to the gym. In and out and limited recovery time between sets. I am realizing that this last session of the week is the most difficult one to get in, yet it is also one of the most important ones since a 300 lb double overhand axle deadlift is my #1 priority by the end of next month.

That makes me really nervous to think about. Shoot, I am running out of time.

135, 2x5 185, 1x5 205, 1x3 225, 1x3 245, 1x3 265, 1x1

Stretching and rubber bands.

This weekend I am having the significantly painful, tingling fingertips in the middle of the night that wake me up. I think I have some ideas and will begin working on them this week. This might just be what the doctor ordered. Or he would if he was here.
