Last month’s programming is over. I spent my deload week eating and drinking copiously over the holiday and I’m very motivated to get started with training again. I hit a few new bests this past month (265 x 5 front squat, 225 x 3 overhead squat) and feel my conditioning is still high. I’m hoping to do a local competition some time this winter. Interestingly, I’m at an all time low for bodyweight (165lbs). I might make a run at the american open next year. I also just joined a strongman gym and look forward to doing some heavier lifting as well.
Some of the feedback I got from the last month as well as my own thoughts:
- 4-5 days per week ends up being quite a bit. I ended up skipping 1-2 workouts in the mix due to “life”
- Too much complexity with oly lifting. I ended up having trouble improving my maxes and I think that was simply because I wasn’t consistently hitting heavy oly lifts.
- Sore shoulders from so much shoulder intensive work (hopefully remedied with less sessions throughout the week)
- The “optional” work makes it easier to push when you can and have time and not to when you don’t
- The consistent squatting, deadlifting and overhead pressing is giving people consistent PRs, exactly what we want.
Changes this month:
- Back to the 3-4 workouts per week model to give the body a rest and to be more practical.
- The work is spread over 6 weeks. This is a bit longer then we’ve done in the past as far as how often we end up squatting / dead lifting / pressing.
- Met-con “Caps” to give you an idea of how long the workouts should last and hopefully allow you to better choose your modifications as needed
- All chest to bar pullups in the met-cons. This is simply …read more
