Nothing spectacular today, sat down last night and mapped out a template that will allow myself the opportunity to better balance life starting this fall as I'm returning to college to finish out a degree in nursing. This new template combines ideas from my current cycle with Brian Carroll's 10/20/life and will shorten my days training in my home gym from 4 days to 3 days with a 4th day taking place in the gym at work on my lunch break. I need this extra time to spend with my son as well as maintaining a decent GPA, and this new template will allow myself to keep getting stronger as well as continue competing in the sport I love.
This new template will start sometime in August, the first day will consist of a squat/deadlift day one lift will be heavy while the opposite will be speed and that alternates each week. The second day will be a bench day that will cycle exactly as my current training, and the third day will be a squat/deadlift accessory day utilizing 7-8 movements used to build a stronger squat and deadlift. And since I will be attending campus Mondays and Wednesdays from 1pm-3pm as soon as I get out I can hit the gym at work before I clock in at 5pm these two days will be used for a military press/bench assistance day and a weak point attack day. overall very excited to be getting back into school and working towards a decent career!!!!
Heavy bench tomorrow!!!
