Health Reports \• August 14, 2011
Ok. I was plugging along in my own, slow, dimwitted way, making progress, hitting PRs, getting stronger slowly but surely. I’ve been all too aware of my problems, limitations, weaknesses, persistent injuries, aches, and pains, and my imbalances, but none of it stopped me. A broken arm has stopped me. It’s been almost three weeks [...] Reflections \• August 12, 2011
Skeletal anatomy of the arm (pictured: right arm, with supinated hand).Skeletal anatomy of the right hand.Schematic (overly simplified) drawing of skeletal anatomy of the forearms. So, because of breaking my left radius two weeks ago, I’ve been trying to educate myself about the treatment, healing, and rehabilitation of this particular injury. To my taste, no [...] Reflections \• August 10, 2011
Not personally training right now, as I try to heal up from the broken arm (2 weeks ago today), and surgery (13 days ago). But I met with Mike P for an initial training session this morning at ASC from about 6:15 to 7:00 am. This coaching business is going to be fun. Health Reports \• March 23, 2011
So, on Tuesday of this week, a rest day, I had an appointment with my physician, Dr. Joshua Bernstein, to do my annual physical exam and get my bloodwork run. I’ll report back in a couple of days when I get the results of the bloodwork and talk about how it compares with my last [...] Reflections \• March 3, 2011
Day by Day by Day Things have been disorganized in my training life lately. I wish it weren’t so but there it is. The chaos reflects the general disorder of all pertinent systems and structures in my life: diet, sleep, teaching and grading, parenting and family life, finances, house maintenance, automobiles, babysitting. I am flying [...] Reflections \• February 15, 2011
This is just a quick note. A lot of coaches and gurus say that athletes should have specific goals in mind for their training. An example of a goal would be something specific, like: “snatch my bodyweight” (in fact, this is one of my long-term goals) or “clean 225 lbs” (another of my goals). Everybody [...] Reflections \• February 13, 2011
Over this past weekend I spent most of my waking hours in the company of one of the great American coaches of Olympic Weightlifting, Glenn Pendlay. Pendlay brought his expertise to a USA Weightlifting Level I Coaches certification seminar sponsored by Peter Haas of Triad Barbell and CrossFit Downtown Winston. The seminar lasted two full [...] Health Reports \• February 6, 2011
You can search all day, on your body, in your home and among your possessions, on-line and in the noosphere, and even in dreams or the land of your imagination, but you will never find an actual “reset button” for the soul. Much as you might like to. Myself, after many weeks of focusing, ahem, [...] Nutrition \• January 18, 2011
After my a three week holiday season of suspended training and extended, serious, and deliberate overindulgence in neolithic favorites (especially sugar, flour, and EtOH), which was followed by a frantic first half-week of getting back to school (that felt a bit like swimming to shore from a sinking vessel in the dark) I am now, [...] Reflections \• December 20, 2010
I was so sore from Friday’s sandbagging workout! What an awesome WOD. I really liked it. I feel good now. Over the next three weeks I’m going to miss WODs like that, and the variable semi-randomness of Shanna’s programming. It’s time for a rest from training. We hear and talk all the time about periodizing [...] |
