recover-style workout
Not going to
lie. Every day, except for maybe
Tuesday, felt like a pile of shit. I
have definitely accumulated the fatigue I was hoping to. Now I’m going to do no training until Tuesday
to rest up. Most would take a full week
off in this case. I don’t think I need a
full week. I just need to get some
quality calories in me and do one or two more recovery type workouts (which are
mostly mobility and flexibility drills anyways) and I should be good to go on Tuesday. Here is how I’m going plan it out.
Monday: Light
recovery work
Tuesday:
Heavy Squat, Moderate-Heavy strict military press, upper back/scapula stability
Wednesday:
Light recovery or conditioning or both
Thursday:
Light recovery or conditioning or both
Friday:
Heavy bench press, moderate-heavy dead lift, upper back/scapula stability
Saturday:
Light recovery or conditioning or both
Sunday: Off
completely
Notes: Light recovery work is the small accessory
lifts that I usually don’t feel like doing at the end of sessions like reverse
hypers, face pulls, arms, calves, etc…. Dead lift work is going to take the
form of single leg work for at least a few weeks and will then transition into
trap bar and then after a few months straight bar work…I’ve always lifted heavy
at least three days per week so I’m kind of excited to see where only two heavy
days and the extra recovery will take me….Carbs will be very high on my heavy
days and low to moderate on the recovery and conditioning days depending on what
my activity levels were and where my weight is at…Conditioning is going to be
sprints, prowler pushes, or hill sprints.
No need to over complicate it…Fridays, regardless of what I, or anyone
else, is doing, are now tank top or basketball jersey Fridays. Plan accordingly.

Another
wedding is going down this weekend. My
cousin Sara is getting married in Green Bay on Saturday. I’m looking forward to seeing my family as it’s
usually only Christmas that I do. I’m
going to do my best to get my dad drunk.
It should be a good time.
I’ve been
kind of slow in getting articles up lately but don’t worry; I’ve got a few in
the works right now. It’s all about
finding time to do the research and put my thoughts on the page. It can be a lot harder than you think.
Now, on to
the good stuff. Memorial Day Weekend is
upon us in this great land of ours and I kept help but feel immense gratitude
for those that have served in the military.
It’s a calling that I myself resisted and let fall upon another.
At some
point or another we all bitch about something in this country, whether it be
war, politics, religion, the economy and the countless other things that
ultimately don’t really matter. What
does matter is that we give thanks to those that have put themselves in harm’s
way to enable us to bitch about these
trivial matters. We can argue abortion
until we’re all blue in the face and absolutely no one will change their
stance.
What we lose sight of is the fact that there are those in the military that will literally step in front of a bullet aimed at the original document, written over two hundred years ago, that granted us the freedom to waste time in that way. So this weekend if you know a vet or even just see one on your travels thank them for their service. They’ll appreciate it and you may even get a badass story out of it. Now go do something that the troops would be proud of.
