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.

fatigué

I am tired. Tired, and my right shoulder hurts. It’s screwed up. I skipped a few things today. But I didn’t skip back squats, and that made my shoulder hurt more than anything else. I took the approach to the shoulder pain today of doing extra volume of light weight full ROM stuff, plus extra mobility and lacrosse ball work. I think it was the right thing to do.

Warm-Up: the usual.

Squat: 5 x 45 / 5 x 160 / 3 x 240 / 1 x 260 / 1 x 265 / 1 x 270 / 1 x 275 (PR) / f x 280. Not as much progress over the past six weeks as I’d have liked but a PR is a PR and I’ll take it. It’s been a heavy two weeks, and like I said, my shoulder is acting up.

In between squat sets:

Wrist Curls: 5 x 20 x each arm x 5 lbs dumbbells

Shoulder Exercises: various movements, full range of motion, sets x 10, with 3 lb DBs. Many sets.

Two Handed Kettlebell Presses (each set preceeded by 1 x clean): 15 lbs KBs — 2 x 5 / 3 x 10.

Romanian Deadlift: 10 x 45 / 5 x 95 / 3 x 5 x 150.

Chin-Ups, unassisted: 1 x 1 (one set of one; my first unassisted chin-up post surgery!)

That is all. I am so tired. So very tired.
