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. Using those new figures, as well as jumping from 50% to 60% on accessory lifts, is going to make for some …

In last week’s workout log I talked a little but about changing things up. I’ve spent the past 8 weeks focused on high repetitions in the weight room and nearly an hour of steady state cardio. While I was seeing progress in certain areas, I wanted to refocus my efforts on building strength and stamina while spending less time in the gym. I’ve ironed out my plan for the next three months and feel pretty good after the first week …
A few weeks back my wife, two daughters, and I loaded up into the Mommy Mobile and took a ride out to the Jersey Shore. We stayed for a week, spending some time on the beach and going for long walks on the boardwalk. It was a nice time – despite me not being a beach person. Before we left I came up with a grand plan to workout each morning while everyone slept in. A good friend of mine, …

That change, as well as the adjustment to my squat form, has helped with the pain. I …
A few days ago I celebrated my 34th Birthday. Generally speaking, I’ve seen my birthday as just another day for quite some time now. I don’t normally do anything special to celebrate. 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 …
