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 • November 18, 2011, at 9:06 pm

squat squat squat

Workout Friday, Nov. 18th, 2011

Warm-Up

1000 m ergometer row, easy pace

Mobility

Hips, Hams, Quads, Calves, Shoulders, Forearms, Wrists; Thoracic

Training

Squat: 2 x 5 x 45 / 5 x 145 / 3 x 195 / 2 x 225 / 1 x 240 / 3 x 5 x 242.5. Not as bad as Monday’s work. More control on eccentric portion of lift. A couple of reps did not reach full depth (others, of course, were too deep). A few reps were “good morninged” out of the hole; several were ridiculously slow through the middle. And my yelling on the third set is just laughable (see video).

Rehab/Exercise

Wrist/Forearm: pronated and supinated wrist curls, 10 lbs DBs x 5 x 8

Upper Body Aux: 20 lbs DBs w/ FatGrips. Reverse Flyes & Triceps Extensions; Hammer Curls x 3 x 8.

Push-Ups: 5, 5, 5, 4, 4

Conditioning

5 rounds:

Pulls-Ups: 4, 4, 4, 4, 3

KB Swing @ 25 lbs, 10 reps

Farmer’s Carry @ 100 meters; 25 lbs FatGripz DBs (after rounds 1, 2, 3, 4 only)
