An Epic Gym Fail - and evaluation of goals and training stresses - 2016wk1
In this weeks post I discuss the potential of competing again, the stresses involved on the body and mind with the competition ramp up, and also have an EPIC gym fail that I probably shouldn't post... but I do.
Monday Training
I felt like death when I started. I have no idea why, but my knees, back, good hip... everything felt awful. I took my time during the warm-up and went from awful to terrible, so there was improvement. Upper body didn't feel bad, just tight. No issues while warming up. The temperature has been in […]
Off-season: 10x10 SSB Squats
Whoa. Squats galore. Survived and actually had some fun. Called for a nap and ice cream
Off-season: Bench work and shoulders
Lower volume bench day, but hit some numbers. Body weight dropped a few pounds so working to get that back up.
1/7- Single Ply Squats w/OBB Team Video
The purpose of this coaching log is to explain the philosophy behind my training which has developed into the M2 Method through the experiences of my training partners and I (as a 20 year veteran in the sport).
That's My Finger in Al's Ear
The white T shirt belongs to Justin but he was forced to train 50 minutes away today.
Off-season: Back and arms
Back and arm day. Have been hitting back every 4-5 days. Frequency high and it's paying off.

Back training session with 3 IFBB Pro's; John Meadows, Ken Jackson and Ron Parlow. This left my back sore (a good sore) for days.

Friday Training
I was hoping the weather would be good today. My plan was to lift early and head to the gun range. It was raining. Plan B was in effect. I played NCAA Football '10 for 3 hours, made a supplement order for the school, met with the volleyball coach about the new facility and finally […]

I was asked again today if EliteFTS would have a board short or "bootey" short with the famous handprint (chalk type) with the equally famous "Selkow Approved" sign. I said to the folks..."I'm not to sure, but I might have them made and see how quick they are to go" Let me see how much […]
