Training Board is about…

Weightlifting, nutrition, paleolithic and "Zone" dieting, weight loss, my workouts, and reflections and reviews of various related topics that interest me. But mostly, I just use this blog to track my workouts.

If anything I have posted seems useful to you, let me know with a comment.

About Me

I'm a level I "sports performance certified" USAW coach, and I train, and work as an assistant coach at Asheville Strength and Conditioning, a great little gym here in Asheville, N.C.

I work with clients who want to get strong and fit, and specialize in helping older, detrained individuals reclaim their fitness and youthful athleticism.

Also, it should be said that I used to train with, and still love many of the folks down at CrossFit Asheville. A lot of the older portions of this blog deals with CrossFit and reflects my earlier fascination with CrossFit's "fitness as sport" model of training. I've learned a lot from CrossFit since I first discovered it, back in late 2008, even though my own training is now more focused on developing pure strength and capacity in the basic strength lifts.

Strength Day • January 25, 2011, at 8:35 pm

the latest yokeage

Taking training day by day. Today (Tuesday morning) I found 40 minutes or so at the YMCA. JZ did “ok” in Child Watch there (meaning, he cried most of the time). I felt kinda guilty. We’ll keep trying.

Plan today was to follow up last Tuesday’s bench press session, work on Pull-Ups, and skip the squat, since I had back squatted last Tuesday and Saturday, plus did Front Squats and Overheads on Monday.

Warm up sprint 400m at 5:45 pace

Dislocates and stretches

Bench 5×95 / 3×135 / 6×145 (PR) / 5 x150 (PR) / 5 x 135

KB swings: 15x53lbs

Dead Hang Pull ups (4 diff grips): 7 sets at 60s intervals: 3-3-2-1-1-1-1 (about 6:30 total time; volume: 12 reps; +2 from Saturday).
