Today's Training: Total Body strength training

 Today, and this week, are a deload week. I didn't always do these and I suppose I was lucky in that I never suffered any serious overtraining issues. As I've become older, and hopefully wiser, I realize that the real challenge in training is the planning of recovery. Deload weeks are a way to map out your recovery.

Warmup: Quad rocks, Figure 4 stretch, ankle mobs, neck mobs, Indian clubs, 1/2 kneeling adductor, Kneeling t-spine extension w/dowel, 1/2 kneeling hip flexor.

Workout:

• Incline bench press: 1 x 5 @ 115, 125, 135
• Hang clean: 3 x 3 @ 115, 135, 145
• Inverted Row from Smith machine: 3 x 12
• Landmine 1 leg RDL: 3 x 6 @ 55
• Cable chest press: 3 x 12 @ 35
• RFESS to deficit: 3 x 12 @ BWT.

Comments: Value and plan your recovery whether it is a week or planned "light" days during your training weeks. No one can hammer away day after day, week after week, without recovery. You either plan it or you will be forced to take it in the form of overtraining or an injury.

   Repeated injuries during training is the barometer of how smart, or not so smart, you are training. Don't be a moron!

Train hard and train smart!
