It's February, and in addition to Black History Month and a couple o' presidential birthdays, it's a month for rededicating oneself to workout discipline and hitting goals... or at least that's what I'm doing. Wrote a blog about it. Like to hear it? Here it go.
Here's the basic plan:
- Alternating workouts -- strength/metcon
- Aim for 5 workouts/week
"Strength" workouts shall consist of big lifts for PRs + some rep work to get in the volume needed for increasing strength and prep the muscles for the intensity/PR attempt days...
"Metcon" shall consist of ALL manner of weighted and unweighted conditioning workouts including metcon circuits, complexes, GPP, intervals and all workouts based on running, jumping or rowing.
Throw in core training 2-3 (or more) times a week on top of other workouts.
Goals for month are simple:
- Deadlift 400
- Squat 300
- TGU 80
- Grow the guns*
- 15 pull-ups unbroken (20 by end of March)
* Re: the "guns" goal, on strength days, there's no need to be shy about adding in some muscle development lifts after the actual strength portion. Finishing with bicep/tricep work once or twice a week won't hurt nobody. Shoulders will be accounted for in strength lifts...
Another goal -- limit the bullshit commentary and musings on the log. I'm never gonna read all those damn notes anyway. It's the numbers and the workouts that matter.
