Hey guys...3rd week running the AXE Protocol with H2H swings. Settled on the 48kg for sets of 4 up to 30 rounds and I am training only the AXE Swings 3x/ week. I coach full time so, this is working well for me on its own.
2 things I have noticed and would like to know if anyone else is experiencing anything similar.
1. ) Recovery has been amazing. Previously when pursuing sinister...I would be absolutely drained the next several days even though typically my volume would be well under the 100+ reps with the 48kg I am now doing following AXE. For some reason, I am feeling fresher than ever on the days following my AXE sessions with the 48kg , so fresh in fact that it's hard to stop myself from doing more than the suggested 2-3 sessions per week.
2.) I noticed even prior to making the jump up to the 48kg ...when I did a session with the 32kg 4/30 , then a couple @ 36kg 6/20 , and 40kg 6/30 my appetite in the following days were absolutely voracious!! I want to eat everything in site and I am indulging that appetite within reason. Even still I am down 3 pounds from where I started. Find it very interesting...Definitely seems to be some true body re-comp potential built into this simple protocol.
Anyway, absolutely loving this protocol and looking to get everything I can out of it,..so I'll be sticking with it for a while!
Love to hear about some other experiences!
