some thoughts, and a look at things to come

i don't worship the guy (though he'd be well deserving), but Jim Wendler is someone who really knows his sh*t. seriously, his mentality and approach to training is no nonsense, to the point, realistic, and practical. common sense is in there too, and thats the kind of trainer id aspire to be someday. the trendy, weird, and downright dangerous mentality of certain training styles like:

- instability training i.e. squats on a bosu ball. i mean, really?
- training w/o a supportive eating habit (the folks who starve themselves before AND after training)
- "olympic" lifters who learned technique from coach youtube

is something id like to avoid.

anyway, heres the blueprint for the remainder of july and august. four weeks. a short cycle. an approach so simple it would probably drive some people mad.


based on the 5/3/1 program written by wendler




this has put on 20lbs on all lifts when i was deployed. of course, i had nothing better to do and my conditioning suffered because of my over-dedication. still, its worked for me before and itll work for me again.

k im done. bye
