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 • February 22, 2012, at 3:51 pm

slow grind

Wednesday, early morning at ASC. Making slow, steady, even grinding progress.

Warm-Up: 5 minutes on rower, floor work, mobility.

Deadlift: 5 x 135 / 3 x 275 / 1 x 315 / 5 x 330 (PR). These felt awesome.

Lying Triceps Extension / DB Pullover: 20 x 20 lbs / 15 x 40 lbs (two 20 lbs DBs) / 10 x 50 lbs (two 25 lb DBs) / 5 x 70 lbs (two 35 lb DBs) — I had to work too hard to get the fifth / 2 x 70 lbs — ran out of energy for this set, and out of time for the work. I think I will do high rep pullovers with one 55 lb DB next time

Shoulder exercises: I also did various light weight shoulder exercises.

Shoulder was not acting up too much this morning, but it did hurt… and it was not possible to press.
