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.

another ohs pr

Wednesday AM at ASC I met up with Brian at 6:15. A quick warm up row (500 meters, 1:47, reverse splits from 2:03 to 1:33) followed by minimal mobility work, and we set out to do some Overhead Squats.

Overhead Squats: 10 x 45 / 5 x 75 / 3 x 100 / 3 x 120 / 1 x 140 / f x 150 / 1 x 150 (PR). Volume: 1,775.

That’s right: that’s my third Wednesday in a row for a PR in overhead squat. Wednesdays are OHS PR day!

That was just supposed to be for starters, but we took our time, and then, when we got to our singles, we got interrupted by Coach Dan; it was time to unload his solid wood 6×8 platform. Holy cow.

All things considered, the workout ended up being a lot less volume than I planned, and no conditioning work either. Which leaves me with no choice but to do something more later today, either by going back to the gym or perhaps doing something else entirely.
