Rationale

If your a new reader of this blog or my "Training the Older Athlete" blog, you might think these are just my training journals. But in reality I'm trying to teach the reader that most obstacles and injuries can be over come with proper planning. As Ford and Chevy race in NASCAR, some trainers like myself look to training athletes to learn about training your average client. Thing like periodization, intensity, volume and frequency of training all come into play when training ANYBODY. So please read the old blogs if you have the time or feel free to contact me at wnt2trn@att.net.

Discovery

I'm overtrained :(  I've only been working out the last two weeks twice a week a before that I took a whole week off from working out but I'm playing more volleyball now and I started playing doubles. My workout looks like this: Smr, AT, core, then skips, jump rope(50 seconds), box jumps 22" x 6)3. Then on Monday I follow all of that with Snatches, back squats, low incline BP and last bent rows. Wednesdays have been the same but obviously different lifts. Clean & Jerk, front squat and last pullups. I'm going to drop the squats for the next two weeks(the second is an unload week), then after that only squat on Monday. I'll see how this goes and get back to you. I don't like to use this as an excuse but I am 51.

S'mores numbers :)

Monday 4/1/2013 Snatch 52kg x 1+1miss, x 2)2. Back squat 265lbs x 2, 267.5 x 2, 270 x 2. I haven't been recording the Box jumps and the Approach jumps I've been doing.
