I have been officially married for one week! It has been great. We started off our marriage with some big purchases thanks to all of our generous friends and family. We were able to get a nice green love seat, a green and brown shag rug, and a sweet new tv. I don't want to come off as bragging or gloating about the cool things we now own, I'd rather have you see how generous and gracious the people that are in lives. We are very blessed for all the things we have and none of it would have been possible without the love from those of you who thought of us on our wedding day. Thanks you! Now...on to the training.
It has been rough. Its been purely inconsistency and motivation. These two things are very related too...a lack of motivation leads to inconsistency and inconsistency leads to a lack of motivation. It is truly a vicious circle.
As I have written before I am going through one of our athletic progressions. My first reason for doing this is so I didn't really have to think about what I was going to do next. My second reason is to learn what it feels like to be one of our athletes and feel how they feel and what they are feeling while we are coaching them through their workout. My third reason is to help analyze and critique, by going through the progression I can feel and know what works or what doesn't or what might be better.
So far I have worked through weeks 4 and 5, which has taken me more than 2 weeks (due to the inconsistency). This week is week 6 which ends this cycle. My goals for this week will be maxing out on front squats, bench, and sumo deadlifts. (Typically our athletes wouldn't be full out maxing) So...that's 3 workouts in 5 days totally do-able, I've done it before, I need to just suck it up and figure it out. So tomorrow morning will be front squatting, I'll be looking for something around the 275# mark. The same for my bench, which I think will be Tuesday or Wednesday. The sumo max I'm thinking should be just over 400. But I'm not sure...and we will find out! Until then.
