Decided to start a training log here to track my progress and have a good place to look back on my training journey.
Background: I trained boxing as a youth at my dad’s friend's gym he had in the back of his house. Used to lift my dad’s weights, he absolutely loved bodybuilding. Got to H.S. and trained and competed on the HS powerlifting team. Loved those times! Junior year started BJJ and eased off strength training to my own detriment.
Fast forward: Been training BJJ for 20 years now. Injuries from years of training too hard and competing with injuries brought me to strong first. I was able to recover from my injuries and develop strong shoulder I thought I would never have. Two years ago I passed SFG 1. I teach people who ask me to but don’t have a gym, maybe one day.
Current goals: Attend SFG 2 in April. I want to pass the SSST 10-minute snatch test. Keep getting stronger and move better for the years to come.
Current training: I purchased Speed Metal. I chose the timeless snatch protocol to use for the next 4 weeks. I combined this protocol with Geoff Newport’s Giant 3.0.
Today's training: Timeless snatches 24kg 10x10 in 24 minutes. (Rested 15 min.)
Set a timer for 20 minutes. Double cl&press 36kg bells.
In total, I performed 5 doubles @ 36kg. 2/1 32kg, 2/1 24kg. All sets were performed with two kb’s.
*I had to resist the brain's urge to want to push even harder as I knew I had other training to do tomorrow!
