Last Week and Today

Last week was a long and busy week. I worked out every day and did lots of mobility stuff. I got all my squatting in (5x7, 7x5, and 10x3). Today I did… Back Squat 4 x 9 x 275 lbs  Front Squat (3 sec pause) 3 x 135, 185, 215, 245, 255  Seated Calf Raises 3 x 15 x 135 Reverse Calf Raises 3 x 15 x 185  Standing Calf Raises 3 x 15 x 185 3 sets  15 Weighted Sit Ups x 53 lbs  10 Good Mornings x 135 lbs  Mobility Work for 30 Minutes My training definitely looks a lot different than normal right now. Hopefully some of the extra accessory work will help with the strength.  God Bless! 

Smolov…Again

Back Squat 4 x 9 x 255 lbs  Calf Raises 3 x 8 x 275 lbs (ankle circles)  1 min banded plank  1 min banded side plank L 1 min banded side plank R  4 x 15 GHD Sit Ups  3 x 10 Glute Ham Raises  Mobility Work for 45 minutes  Quads were tight today. One thing I'm really going to try and focuss on while I'm hurt is my mobility. That's something I feel is holding me back, and I am going to fix that. Slept about 6 hours.  Patriots are Super Bowl Champions! Had a fun time last night watching the game.  God Bless!

It's what I've been training for for over the past year. I was hoping to have a shot at regionals this year and to do well overall in the standings. I can promise you that this is adding fuel to the fire and that I am going to come back after this injury more motivated and determined than anybody thinks possible. This next year is going to be a long journey that is going to consist of a lot of hard work, sacrifice, and will power. I'm ready to put it as much work as I need to to get to where I want to be. As upset as I am that this injury accrued, I also realize that God has perfect timing and a purpose for everything. In Isaiah 55:9 it says, "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than you ways and my thoughts than your thoughts." And even though I may ...
