After the abysmal performance that was Day 2 of my Training Program, I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect on Thursday when I set out for yet another run. In the back of my mind, I was worried that I’d start cramping again and I’d be left limping home in a lot of pain. Despite that nagging little voice in the bank of my mind (the one telling me to go back inside and lounge on the couch) – I …

Wendler 5/3/1 While I may only be two weeks into the Boring but Big Template of Wendler 5/3/1, I feel like I’m making solid progress. I’ve been consistently hitting the AMRAP Set Goals and increasing my projected 1-Rep Max Weight. When the next cycle begins I believe my app will use the new weights to generate my lift figures.

That change, as well as the adjustment to my squat form, has helped with the pain. I …

I get up, I go to work, I come home and try to enjoy a little time with my family. That is exactly what I wanted to do this year. Hearing this, my wife expanded on my plans and made the night rather pleasant. I walked through the …
Last week my family and I did something we haven’t done in several years – we took off for a week and went on vacation. Before leaving I talked with my friend Jerry about a Kettlebell workout that he has been doing. My plan was to run over to Walmart, pick up a 35lb Kettlebell, and put it to use each morning. Online pricing for CAP was roughly $1 per pound. The in-store pricing for Gold’s brand was considerably more …
