Week 1. Back at the start of another 8 week cycle. Nice and easy. 
 
In other news I also picked up a Concept 2 rower and did my first session with it yesterday; 2,000m in 10:27. Kept it easy as I wasn’t sure how it’d affect me.

Squat 122.5k x 5 x 6r

The rower will definitely get you in shape. I do miss mine at times.

Not sure yet how to properly program with it though. I'm thinking longer, moderate sessions on non-weight training days and one or more higher effort sets on barbell days.

There’s probably a dozen “right” ways to program it. Because I wanted minimal interference with my strength training, I’d do it immediately after my deadlift workout and then again right after squats. I figured this gave me maximum rest after cardio before I hit the weights again. It seemed to work well. I didn’t get carried away with it, though. Normally I’d do something like a fast 500, rest, then row medium pace for maybe ten or fifteen minutes. As always, I more or less let my mood and instinct dictate.

Week 1... well actually this is also the last of this program for awhile. Going to put my training back in Phil’s hands again. Probably from now through the throwing season at least. 
 
No more thinking!!
 
Highlight of today was zero back niggles. Not a lot of work but very positive that I’m actually healing up. That and chasing the grand goober around the basement between sets. Man he’s a busy little fraggle. 
 
DO Deadlift WU to 405 x 7 x 2r, 6r
 
Good enough. Don’t need to push it and tweak my back again right away.

Day 1 of getting coached by Phil again. Happy to not be thinking and just get back to the doing again for awhile. 
 
Stopped sets when I started to feel the bar speed slow a bit. Aiming to stay as explosive as possible.

Noticed that the calendar and clock were logging the incorrect numbers after the workout. Amended for the next ones. 

 

C2 2,000m/10:07

 

First splits were only around 24spm then the last two-three were 35-37spm. Average of 29. Next time I think I can easily keep it above 30 for the entire 2,000m.

Week 1 press. I guess Spring Clench is 2 months out now. I’d better start training soon lol. 
 
Same training. Paused, explosive reps. Getting some really good back pumps too concentrating on full stretches and paused contractions.
 
Also had goober running around the basement shortly after I started. Needless to say this took way too long.

Week 1. Exhausted yesterday so I postponed until today. Today I ended up with the goober here all afternoon. Lifting while he’s screaming his guts out to come down here is tough....

Week 2. First time doing any kind of clean in ages. I’ve never really done many so there’s about 10 years of technique to catch up on. 
 
Spent too much time down here again. One of the smoke alarms is chirping. I’ve got the stinking batteries out of all of them now and still heard a chirp!
 
Hip/Muscle Cleans
95/115/135/155/175/185/195 x 2r
 
2 Mat Deficit Deads 375 x 7 x 3r, 4r - 25r
 
BB Lunge 40k x 4 x 8r - same weight as last week. Progression via better reps. Finding my left hamstring is lacking. Good chance it’s causing the issues with my left low back. 
 
DB Row 100e x 2 x 15r
 
Standing Band Crunch x 2 x 15r
