Happy July 4th to all! I hope people think about what the day really means, as independence is something we all take for granted. Whether or not you believe we should be in wars across the world doesn't matter, people are risking their life for YOUR freedom. Enough said.
As for the title of this blog, I wanted to use fireworks as an analogy for training. Don't you hate when your firecracker is a dud? You wait for the boom and instead you get nothing. Sounds like training to me. Why? Because adaptation (either good OR bad) is occurring everytime you workout. It's either a dud workout or one that is going to get you closer to your goals.
But now when I look at it, maybe this analogy isn't that great. If your training is a dud you would be simply wasting your time. However, if you do exercises that your body hates, you not only waste your time but you also go BACKWARDS. So, the Russian adage of two steps forward and one step back is a waste of time! Yes, it is true. Make Gym Movement your protocol and see continued progress...ALWAYS.
Case in point, just got back from a great camping trip of three 85 and sunny days. Got the full wealth of Vitamin D, that is for sure. They say August has the lowest incidence of illness - something to do with the sunshine and Vitamin D? Further research required.
Training today: Felt that I didn't drink enough water over the holiday and it had a slight impact. Nonetheless, PRs were dropping (as expected)!
Bench: Got the 255 Matrix for the first time in probably two years and a total volume of 6,490 for a PR.
LCCJ: Got 17 with double 36s for a PR. Was gassed and only did 2x5 after that.
Hammers: 3 sets with double 35# dumbells: 8,5,3. The 8 was a PR
Plate curl: 10# got 7 on each arm for another PR
