Sept 27th: Training Journal Series

Tuesday

Today I worked high rep Deadlifts. 255 for 30 reps was HORRIBLE, in a good way. Worked in some pull ups and light pressing and finished with a long kettlebell set. My strength is feeling good but I'm starting to feel a bit run down. With the stresses at work, home and now this, high volume just may not be the thing for me at this point.

Find what works for your current lifestyle. That is one of the most important things. If not, your doomed to burnout.

Eating my post workout meal was amazing. Fasting until 1, one would think my training would be sub-par, but I felt great. Had to limit myself because I could have kept going.

Todays eatining was ok but subpar. The biggest thing I preach is to match your behaviours to your goals. My goals are much bigger and badder (for me) now. I can't stress that enough:

MATCH YOUR BEHAVIORS TO YOUR GOALS

Be clear of what you want and then make sure everything you do gets you closer to that. Simple (not easy) as pie (not cake).
