Back to Training

I tried to get back to training last week after a week off from regionals and some debauchery.  I tried to do some squats and felt so weak and tight that I called it and just did a very light week thereafter.

This week I am back to training.  I am going to try to do a strength cycle, the Wendler, for the lower body lifts while I supplement with some gynmastics, hill sprints, short metcons, and longer recovery runs/rows/rides.  Im going to try this for 2-3 months and see it goes.  My schedule is going to be 2 on/1 off/ 2 on/ 2 off.  This will give me plenty of recovery days to see some strength improvements.  I will slowly add in some double days, then add an additional day.  My goal is to get stronger while maintaining good power and a good feeling in 5-10 min metcons.  But my ultimate goals is to enjoy the Summer and do workouts that are fun and eat some good food.  After this I will reassess and jump into a more regimented program while I build my aerobic system again and add volume.  Sounds like a plan for now!  This is what I have done early this week:
