Deadlifts, Zercher Squats, and KB Swings - Full Body Training Log: Wk 3 - Day 1

Lots of posterior chain work today.  This is the 3rd week of this new mini training cycle.  Next week I’ll go on a little deload where I’ll keep the volume the same or slightly lower but I’ll back the weights down just a tad to allow myself some time to recover to hit it even [...]

Full Body Training Log: Wk 2 - Day 3

Ahh squat day!
Everyone knows the squat is king.  It’s not my best lift but I love getting under the bar and putting in the work.  Squatting takes a sort of mental toughness that other lifts do not.  You have this bar on your back that you have to dominate or it will dominate you.  If [...]

Full Body Training Log: Wk 2 - Day 2

Full Body Training Log Wk 1 - Day 3

Just finished up the first week of the new training cycle and I feel great.  My body is a little tight but not sore.  However, I suspect as the weights and intensity increase that will change.  Day 3 is max squat day.  I’ve never been a great squatter but I think my power and drive [...]
