Here we go again. A new challenge thread. I'm thinking I may hop over to the battle logs after this one and just stay there. This challenge I'm going to stay with my programming which has been 3-4 weeks of work followed by a week. Specifically I'll be working the next couple weeks then taking Thanksgiving week as my test and back off week. Then I'll fire up for a few weeks and take Christmas week as my test and back off. Although, New Years will probably extend that break. 11/11 - 11/16 - 4-5 workouts. Long cycle 4 times. GPP 3ish times. mobility 3ish times 11/18 - 11/23 - 4-5 workouts. Long cycle 4 times. GPP 3ish times. mobility 3ish times 11/25 - 11/30 - test, back off, travel for holiday I'll be trying to recalibrate my programming a bit. It's gotten a bit overly aggressive of late and I think it's been hard to get done what I want to because of how tough the initial exercise has been. I'm going to keep my 2 on/1 off 28 kg long cycle. I think today's experiment with a 24 kg ladder was good so I'll be using that for day two. I let GPP slip a bit and hope to dial that up a little more. I'm also going to be working on a little weight loss. I've drifted up above 205. I'd like to get below 200lbs by the end of the year so I can get to 185 next year. I'm currently training in my garage, in Minnesota. It's held up better than expected but we've got some cold days coming. At some point, during this challenge, I'll be moving down to the basement. I lose space and barbell access but I get better access to my Concept II and TRX. In honor of the coming cold weather, here is your music for the week:
