Masters athlete taking and old 1RM for 2 today. This is cool because #1 she is not a zero training age newbie she’s been at it awhile. #2 she’s a legitimately strong person so continuing to improve is impressive.

Masters athletes it’s not always easy finding the perfect amount of lush vs recovery. If your training is hit or miss, bogged down by injuries shoot me a message.

How much do we rely on external drivers to influence training decisions?

I check my watch every morning more out of habit then anything else. It actually read a 1 recovery upon waking. So should I not train?

I went through a more personal checklist to give it some thought.
1: Joints - im not achy, in fact my knees feel better then yesterday
2: energy and focus: I have about 90-115 minutes of deep work each AM. When I don’t sleep well I can really tell here, did fine
3: Desire, I was excited to do hang cleans today the thought of missing was disappointing. Having a high intrinsic desire is a sign of readiness
4: warm up - I did some jumping and coordination drills and was actually pretty sharp. This is a good check engine light of neurological readiness

Tech can be helpful in a lot of ways, but more and more I see wearables creating a sense of fragility. Know yourself, or get help to learn. At the end of the day im not gonna let a watch tell me@my business

Getting closer to the old man tournament you start to see focus change a bit in training. Power production, force generation, intense conditioning. Basically im switching gears and moving lighter stuff faster.

You can see I’m going from 8 pound med ball to 135 bar to 175 pound bar. Each motion is heavier but still the fastest I can move at that specific exercise. Honestly would have liked more weight moving quick@but what can you do.

Also: Does being shirtless make you move faster? No but the algorithm loves tan older gentlemen and I don’t have time to change before school pickup.

Always here for sports med, training, and social@media strategy questions

Lift heavy move fast weekly. That’s a pretty simple “keep it simple stupid” rule I use for almost all of my clients.

People get lost thinking there are only a handful of heavy or fast movements. I have clients who are 70+ doing some form of speed training. There are benefits from moving faster than usual for any age group. Shoot me a message if you’re not sure where to start

Definitely the heaviest thing I’ve repped in a long time without knee pain. Also the first weighted lunges again since who knows when.

Feeling this good squatting and running recently makes me excited for the violent hugging competition on the horizon.

Recruiting classes 2037/2039. You don’t gotta get ready if you stay ready

People always ask why I built the gym, I make up stuff about work, low overhead blah blah. Blah

Truth is that I hope someday they want me to train them and their friends. Hopefully I have enough 20 kilo plates for these studs

9 weeks to my next old man amateur jiu jitsu showdown. I love having something on the calendar to give me structure.

From a gym standpoint this means for 6 weeks get strong, stay healthy, experiment with conditioning. Being strong on the mats isn’t the only thing but it’s never a bad thing, and time in the gym keeps me healthy.

3 ish weeks will be solely focused on being more explosive and intense conditioning. Being a non serious athlete now a days I generally touch on all qualities evenly throughout the year. It’s going to be a bit of an experiment to separate things in this way. I’ll also find a way to decimate Michael Bann, MS | Performance Coach in a 5K as part of my easy conditioning

Teaching Ari to never miss a a Monday.

If being athletic as you age is important to you then so athletic things. Run fast jump high regularly. It may not be the fastest or the highest but what im doing will keep the skill sharp and tissues ready.

If you haven’t sprinted or jumped since high school hit me up and let’s figure out where to start

Who wants a playhouse!!!!

No response from my kids so that means we need what will basically be a tiny home.

But how do we rap this back around to selling online fitness? I trained less this week than in any point in the past 3-5 years. I got to coach a friend at the CrossFit games, then immediately turned around to take the kids to see relatives and hang out for the weekend.

When you train consistently year round sometimes a forced break can be a great thing. Deloads usually happen organically in my everyday folks but some of us need a hard reset. More isn’t always better and you don’t have to have a fitness rebound after an off week

Pretty special couple of days getting to watch Misty Ritter do her thing. The handful of events are the tip of the iceberg of the coaching relationship.

Thousands of sessions, meals, recovery activities all the unseen things that went into this is what makes it special

Happy to be along for the ride
