When you look back over your training log at the past couple years, are you motivated to keep pushing forward or are you discouraged at your progress. While you have indeed progressed, is it at the rate you had hoped it would? Do you feel this style of training is the best you can do? Not trying to point out weaknesses or anything, just asking some general questions. I look back over my log frequently and it can get discouraging seeing the same numbers going on now that I did last year or the year before. How do you handle that?

No worries, it's a legit question. If I'm being frank, it's all about the long term process. I had lofty expectations of quick results and success but the fact of the matter is that this whole thing is new to me and I have quite some time where I will be where I think I should be. I look back at my training log from time to time and yeah it can be disappointing that I am not further along, but I need to keep everything in perspective and focus on pushing forward. Just like you and your throwing, I am constantly working on technique with the lifts trying to make each one better than the last. But the difference is I am trying to focus on the efficiency of the lift WHILE pushing the weight of each lift. I am very happy with my progress, and the frequency and accumulation of benchmark lifts for me is the important thing. It's also hard to deny progress when I watch the videos of when I first started compared to now. I think now with Don on board as a coach my training is as good as it's been. With Don, I am rarely going max and focusing more of accumulation of reps above my 80%. For me this is what works best. The maxing out all the time was beating me down too often. This last training cycle has been great for me in terms of fixing issues, accumulating volume, and slowly pushing the lifts. So in the end, yeah things aren't exactly where I'd like them to be but they are moving along (even if it's at a snail's pace) and I am ok with that. As stated before my one goal is a long term goal. I got a long ways to go and plenty of room to improve on. Hope that answers your question.

Don't ask me how I am feeling or what I expect to hit because honestly, this one is a crap shoot. I'm opening around 140/190 and we will see how it goes from there. This is the first time I have no real bearing on how things are going to go.

3-5-2014 So the Arnold has come and gone. Things did not go great, I made my openers 141/190. Missed 147 out front (didn't even feel close) and clean 200 (got light headed). The conditions weren't ideal but bottom line I did not get it done. Not too surprised or upset about it, the prep for the 2.5 months leading up to it bit the big one on my end. Got to be better about that so here's the plan: -Diet, I am going strict gluten free (more so to not be as much of an ass to my wife due to her being celiac) with one cheat day and still following a carb backloading format with my eating. Not counting macros or calories (except for protein, maybe). Just going to load up on good fats, protein, veggies, and relying on potatoes, grits, and rice for my carb sources. Oh, and lots of water. -Medical care, this is where I really flew the coop. I need to get back into a habit of seeing my chiro/PT guy, he does great work and given laziness I didn't make an effort to see him. 2x a month here and once a month to a massage person for any issues I need. Getting back on this will allow for me to not have to do so much mobility and self maintenance and be able to relax and do other things outside of the gym. -Training, not much is changing here, Don's program was great and it is more what I need. Making minor tweaks to my technique and switching up my shoes to a higher heel. The biggest adjustment is I am taking the time I need to warm up, I neglected this towards the end. All in all none of this is rocket science and I know it's what I need and what I have done in the past. The problem was winning my first major competition coupled with a short turn around to get ready for another had me putting things off. Not so much, I need to get back to doing my thing. I'm posting this mostly to be held accountable sort of for those who read these posts. We got back Monday and I took the past few days off and will get back in the gym tomorrow. 3-6-14 Back in the gym and just getting going again. Snatch off blocks at the knee 90x3 100x2x2 110x2x2 115x2x2 Front Squats 120x3 130x3 140x2 150x2 160x2x2 170x2x2 Pendlay Rows 90x5x2 110x4x3 So Swole

I saw you watching the comp at Arnold but you were sitting and it was crowded and I couldn't get in there to say hi but I'm glad you're not too discouraged. For what its worth I like reading your log, makes me feel like I could always do more with my training/diet/etc.

Did 140 easy then tried 155 and missed the last jerk. Seriously could not feel my legs. 3-8-2014 Back Squats (with a pause on the last rep) 120x4 140x4 150x4 160x3 170x3 180x3 190x3x2 Jerks 120x2 130x2 140x2 150x2 160x2 170x1x3 Chinese Deads 100x10x3 Feet Elevated Push ups 2x10

But as Travis puts it would rather struggle to power clean 15o or clean 200...Oh and volume is a heartless biotch. Hands and back were fried for sure. 3-11-2014 Power Snatch 80x3 90x3 100x2x4 Snatch Comp. Pull 100x3x2 120x3x2 140x3x2 Kang Squats 70x8x2 90x8x2 Shoulder Stuff x10 each way GHD Sit Ups 3x15 I just took a look at the program for the rest of the month. Strong as all get out doesn't even begin to describe how I am going to feel after this whole phase is over. Also makes my wheels start spinning as to what I need from each training cycle...Sometimes this progress thing needs to be clear and simple, ha ha ha.

What sort of ROM do you get on your GHD situps? I know that must sound kinda silly, but I always feel like I might be going too far and asking for a low back injury. "Strong as all get out"^^^Too late Big Swole. Too late!

Umm a lot? I try to do more planks and palloff press stuff but when I do GHD sit ups I put med ball on the ground and when I come down I reach for it and get as much range of motion as possible. Keep in mind it is a controlled ROM and I am not flopping throughout which can lead to injury. Hope that helps. 3-12-2014 AM High Hang Snatch+Low Hang Snatch 90x2 105x2 115 115 120 126 Back Squats 120x4 130x4 140x4x2 150x4 RDLs 80x6x4 PM Snatch 90x3x2 100x2x2 110x2x2 115x2 120x2 130x2miss 130x2 Clean 120x2 140x2 150x2 160x2 170x2 The snatch complex first thing in the morning sucked, especially the 4 reps for the doubles. I wasn't sure how the afternoon was going to go but I hit 130x2 again without straps and it felt better than when I did it Monday. The cleans felt really good and I believe 170 is a PR, I have doubled 170 off of other things but never from the floor which is my weakest part of the lift. Things are so far so good. |

I haven't posted in a while, my bad. I am in the process of closing on a house and I had Ariel Stephens, and her coach Jacob Tsypkin, staying with me all week so I had other obligations. The meet itself went pretty well. Better than I expected given that I coached at least one lifter in every session the day before. Snatches went 140/145/150x Clean and Jerk 190/200/205x. I pinched a nerve a few weeks back and it's getting better. Between dry needling, cold laser, and accu-stim, it's healing, slowly, but healing. It effected me a bit, but it's nothing too serious. Lots of good lifting and we will have some new teammates soon, so with that in mind Monday morning was spent expanding our training area. We have almost 20 individual stations now to train at, which is crazy to think about since we started with 4 in that old warehouse 2 years ago. Anywho back on to training for the week is as follows so far: 5-5-2014 Back Squats 120x7 140x5 160x4x2 170x4x2 180x4x3 Shoulder Complex Core 5-6-2014 High Hang/Low Hang Snatch 90x2x2 100x2x2 110x1x3 Snatch Deads with a negative on the last rep 100x5 120x4x2 135x3 150x3x3 Kang Squats 4x6 DB Shoulder Press Today will be our first full day back, good stuff coming I think.

For sure the longest my hair has ever been, haven't cut it since the American Open and it will stay that way for at least another two months.

It makes whatever you have on your head look like a muskrat rolling around in dung during the first week of August.
We will see about the ponytail, it's got a William Regal look to it right now.
No ties, I have bought those non slip hair bands for training, sexy look I tell ya! |
