I did finally get it to the end, but it took all I had, which was more than I thought was left.

The weather is starting to heat up here and so is my training. Closing the week with one “hard day” and one “fun day”, I am poised for a strong next week.

This week was supposed to be a deload week and for the most part it was, except I hit it hard on Saturday. But that is ok, since I got plenty of rest this week.
After several weeks of sub-par training, I put together a good mix of workouts that were taxing, but not draining. The most important aspect of a workout regimen in my opinion, is consistency. Even if you are having off-weeks, and you will, stay with it even if you have to back off. It is far easier to go into “maintenance mode” and lose a little than have to start all over again. I know this. I have done it enough times and each time it is considerably harder than the last.
Tweet In typical fashion of late, I started my training week slowly, picked up momentum and finished strong. Always finish strong!
Tweet Monday, 3/23/09 As soon as I got out of the truck, I was talked into doing some Prowler pushes with 90# of additional weight. They cared not one bit that I was not even warmed up, let alone in…
When I trained, it was pretty good, but I took off an extra day for no good reason. My favorite workout of the week was my sandbag session on Saturday. Good work.
While off to a slow start, I picked up the pace a little and managed to get some decent training in this week. My domain was once again hacked. Instead of going through the Barbarian’s gate, he tunneled under it!
A trainer friend of mine repeatedly has said to treat your shoulders like glass. Well, that doesn’t give much credit to the structural integrity of the joint, but it does point to it’s vulnerability.
