Running through my first Ditillo routine this week. I had to admit, this week was a butt kicker. That was a sharp uptick in both volume and intensity from the “building habits” phase I was in. Hammies were tight after Monday, and I’m playing with rack pin heights on the half squats and rack pulls. Still, it is fun to be pushing myself a little again. It’s good for my mental health to lift heavier. I am planning on repeating this training week, going for more reps on the max sets in week 2. This one is more legs and … Continue reading Training Log: Kaizen, July 6-12, 2020

Reads: The Development of Muscular Bulk And Power

weezel32

I like to pretend I’m old school. I probably never truly was, but I get to be more convincing with the mentality as I become, well, old. Within the strength world, I was lucky in the fact I got in with an old school powerlifting team early in my training journey. I didn’t waste too much time plowing through poor programs in Muscle & Fiction and Flex. At least, not until college and even then I knew they were bullshit and was doing them with full awareness of what they were. The kind of stuff we did in high school … Continue reading Reads: The Development of Muscular Bulk And Power

So…about that fitness plan: What I've been up to this year.

weezel32

A few months ago, I posted my fitness intentions on this blog. I started walking regularly, and working out again. And then I got derailed by a six-week gout flareup. My activity level was damn near negligible for a while. However, I set down in late December and formulated a new plan, finally feeling healthy again. I didn’t post about it then, but by and large, my plan has been working for me. I’ve dropped a little weight, I’m sleeping much better and I’m moving easier too. I still have a long way to go, but there has finally been … Continue reading So…about that fitness plan: What I've been up to this year.

Time For A Plan

weezel32

5-feet, 6-inches, 265 pounds, 48.5-inch waist. Those are not good numbers. And it is beyond time to do something about it. So, it is time for a plan, and to implement that plan instead of just saying I’ll change and then doing nothing about it. I was doing well until last year. I took a promotion, adding a ton of hours. I quit teaching at the local gym. I got married. I turned 40. I used all of that as excuses. I got into the worst shape of my life. So, I am putting this here in the hopes ya’ll … Continue reading Time For A Plan
