CH-CH-CH-CHANGES

Life changes all the time, and when it does you have to change with it.  I've been going through some minor changes to routine, schedule, and family stuff - all of which have thrown me off my plan.

Well, I'm not one to let stuff like that derail me.  It may temporarily slow me down, but I never come to a stop.  I call it my flywheel theory.  As long as I keep a littlest bit of inertia, I can overcome a loss in velocity and never quite stall.

All that said, I had to change gyms as my wife left her job at 24HR, so I'll be training at home once again.

I actually prefer home training for a number of reasons.  Now to break the news to my training partner.  :(

Single leg calf raise: 3-100 method* 2. 10 min EMOM: Big power movement like deadline, or snatch grip high pull, or clean&press.  Start at 10x3 and stick with the same weight till you can perform 10x6.  Rotate between 5-6 movements every session. 3. Conditioning circuit 1: 5 rounds of   A. Pushup progression   B. Pick a single leg squat pattern movement I stick with the sa

The Warrior's Path

This year has been a real test of character, and I have to say, I  passed with probably a B+, or maybe A-.   What makes a warrior different from the ordinary man is not whether he faces obstacles or not. We all face obstacles.  No; what makes a warrior different is how he faces the obstacles. An ordinary man and a warrior will both map out a course to  their objective. The ordinary man will get distracted along the way.  He might see the trail up the mountain and convince himself he never really wanted to reach his objective. When his arms go numb from shouldering the load, he discards item from his pack he suddenly sees as unnecessary.  He might sprain an ankle, call 911 and decide the course is too dangerous for any sane person to attempt.  So much the better, because now he has plenty of time for other more important things.  Isn't it football season anyway? The ordinary man makes excuses to stay ordinary. The warrior notices and appreciates all the beauty along th
