60min treadmill run/walk 4.6m
- 1W 14E (9T 1W)x2 24E 1W
High RPE on the run today, I assume a little fatigue from Monday work.
07/14 16:30
Cossack shoulder dislocates 2x6 (I've been counting these weird, x6 is really more appropriate)
Dragon squats 2x3
KB1HS 10x10 40
TGU 10x1 40
BP 3x5 165#
LTK 4x5
Definitely feeling some fatigue in the evening as well. Will have to keep an eye on this, might need some slow ramp time to get used to the new program.
Credit where it's due, my ideas for a durability focus came from Tom Furman's blog here:
Becoming Durable: Most Ain’t.. I'm not following that as a program per se, but it aligns with some of my ideas on being useful and hard to kill. In my mind, durability is largely about being strong at all angles - having no weak planes of motion, being capable of absorbing force no matter where it comes from. But at the same time, I also put a lot of stock in being
very strong in the primary movements, so I'm not wanting to put away the heavy stuff completely and just train the odd angles.
This is why I love the TGU - it's all about building strength at odd angles. The TGU is a lesson in durability. Been too long since it's been a regular part of my training, this has been fun for the first couple days. But I'm definitely going to have to experiment with how much gas is left in the tank afterwards. Ideally, I'd like to get in a couple grinds, then maybe some crawling and/or grip work. But today I was pretty wiped after the TGUs, so it was grinds and done.
Bench press was humbling... but to be expected, given I've been away from that lift for a long time, and fatigue from TGUs.
First time I've experimented with the dragon squat. Another good strong-at-strange-angles movement. No plan to load it any time soon, figure it's just a nice addition to warmup time. I think of warmups as a good time to practice "skills".
