TRAINING/NUTRITION BLOG: 02/03/14

[Jim B]

After finishing up my 10,000 reps last Friday I took 2 days off. I weighed in today at 223lbs, and that was after the rest days and 2 cheat meals on Saturday. Six pounds down since 1/06, that I didn't really intend to lose. This is as light as I like to get.

So, this month is the first month that I don't have some kind of self-imposed rep quota to meet since October 1st, so 6 days per week with no let up since then. Feels pretty good to relax just a little.

Shifting gears and experimenting with some new programming that is designed specifically to compliment my martial art training and not fatigue me at all. Basing it to an extent on some stuff by Martin Rooney, who I respect a lot.

After my 10,000 reps last month and 2 rest days, I have to say that I felt tons of snap and more fluidity than I have in several months, which is the goal of hard training. You don't feel good when you do it. You feel good when you let up a little and let it take effect.
