Health Reports \• April 21, 2012
Week three of eight went well. Training: except for a missed conditioning workout on Wednesday and another week of only 2 short sets of chin-ups, all was according to plan. I showed up, put more weight on the bar, worked on extension, did a huge volume of squats and a large volume of deadlifts, and [...] Health Reports \• April 1, 2012
Sunday, April 1st begins a new, eight week training cycle for me. I choose an 8 week cycle of monitoring and reporting this time around because I live and operate on an academic schedule, and I’m more likely to get through the next 8 weeks uninterrupted than I am to get through a 10 or [...] Health Reports \• February 26, 2012
My twelve week training and body recomposition cycle continues with further evidence of progress. Training: I set two meaningful PRs this week: 5 x 260 back squat and 5 x 330 deadlift. Both felt good and both brought me closer to my goals, in spite of shoulder pain that has brought my pressing to a [...] Health Reports \• January 8, 2012
Today marks the start of two parallel but different 12 week cycles in my program. They are (a) a training cycle, and (b) a cycle of attempting to change the composition of my body. The 12 week cycle runs from today, January 8th, 2012, through March 31st, 2012. This post is a brief report on [...] 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 [...] Health Reports \• June 22, 2011
I haven’t been sharing too much about my nutritional struggles on this blog. Let me cut out the BS and just say: I’ve been bad. It’s been six months, and over the past six months, I’ve mainly been bad. Now. It’s getting scary to me. This morning the scale says 198.5 lbs. The pants say: [...] CrossFit Asheville WODS \• June 12, 2011
In keeping with the reality that my blog is actually just my gym notebook, consider this post a scratch-page. For the past few minutes I’ve been looking back at the last couple of weeks of squat training, and trying to think my way into the coming weeks. I’ll soon be doing this same kind of [...] Health Reports \• May 24, 2011
True confession. Since the school year ended, instead of finding a place beyond the stress of work, instead of finding a place where recovery can be smoother, instead of finding a new space for focus and determination in my program, I’ve been floating, drifting, really directionless. I’ve been staying up nights (working on websites for [...] Rest Days \• May 8, 2011
The life of an academic has some real perks, the most obvious of which is the summer break from full time teaching duties. For me, Summer 2011 began yesterday. I guess I celebrated with heavy cleans and some sandbag sprints. Now, on this first rest day of summer, I’m cooking up some plans to revitalize [...] 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 [...] |
