Training

 Saturday Feb 25,12 I went and trained with Coach Chris Duffey, Will and Melissa Metcalf. Overall it was a good day we all had good set and Melissa killed it with 2 huge Pr's and I am pretty sure she hit her CMS numbers easily.
I did Longcycle 2x32 5,5,5,5,5,4 was going for 10 min and I was feeling great but got this feeling in my stomach and had to put them down. This sucked I really was feeling it maybe it was the nerves or something I am not sure.
I also did Longcyce 2x28 8,8,8,7,9 this was pretty good.
Finished off with swings 32kgx 50/50

Training with Duffey, Will and Melissa Metcalf on Saturday in Scituate should be a good day.

In the grove

 This weeks training hasn't been the greatest but you just have to push on and keep training. I have my bad days and I get mad and pissed off but Coach Duffey always has a way of keeping me on track. Sometimes after a bad session or a couple of days I just want to throw in the towel and change up my training, but you have to keep your eyes on the prize or look over your goals and it always seems to help me get back on track.

Lift Bells !

Busy busy busy

I have been really busy lately, working full time, going to night school two days a week studying for a couple of tests and working out my days are jammed packed. My training is still going strong just wish I had a little more time to get everything done. Right now its all about my main sets and maybe one assistance exercise.

Just feels right

 Today's was one of those days that everything was just firing right for me, I went for a 3.5 mile run yesterday and did some stretching. Today I was feeling pretty good so I did tomorrow's workout today. I did all my warm ups and that's when I realized it was going to be a good day so I just went for it and it turned out great nothing crazy but when the lifts feel good and your breathing is dialed in, and you feel relaxed its just a great feeling.
Thursday Feb 2,2011
Longcycle 2x32kgx 5,5,5,5,5 felt good might have been able to go 6 minutes
Longcycle 2x20kgx 8,8,8,8,8 this was a good pace and felt good
Overall a great day very happy with my lifts, the last time I did 2x32 for 5min @5rpms I was dead. I am definitely seeing improvements!
