I feel much better not pushing my deadlift reps. I'm going to be very conservative with that. Especially considering I'm not eating like a maniac right now. I'm hovering around 215lbs and I'd like to get down to a solid 210lbs.

I'm moving back to 5/3/1. It's easy to do and it works. I'm doing the 3 day full body routine recently posted by Jim Wendler on T-Nation. I reset my weights back a few months and I'll try to keep the momentum for another six months if possible.

Tuesday 8/2/11

Afternoon:

Light arm bars 15lb bell

One handed swings 16kg - 1x 5/5, 2x 10/10

One handed swings 20kg - 4x 10/10


Apparently I need to account for doing a new sport when I consider what I do for training. I'm starting to spend a few hours around 4 days a week practicing golf right now and attending golf class. Starting next quarter at the local community college I'll be playing 18 holes at least once a week in addition to the class I'm taking right now and a swing analysis class. I always jump in with both feet...lol!


But...especially considering I'm out in the sun on my feet and all that I'm starting to realize my training needs to adapt. I'm still not sure how yet, but I'm going to keep my Tuesdays and Fridays a bit easier for now. Arm bars, foam rolling and mobility to warm up and then easy swings for now.
