2018 Training Log

I'm glad I read this. I was coming up with a routine before the meet that incorporated AMRAPs and I completely forgot I was planning on doing that. Mine is set up a little differently. A little volume with the AMRAP weight before the actual AMRAP set. I had a percentage in mind, I think around 75-80% (gonna have to find my notes) and then add weight each heavy day. I'd resumed mostly normal programming this week, but next week will do what I was planning. I ran heavy 3's forever and then heavy 2's, I think the AMRAPs should spark some progress. Still doing conventional until at least the end of this month.

I'm not actually doing any Amraps right now. It's a top set at RPE, which increases week to week, then a percentage drop sets off that. It's the Jugerrnaut AI coaching.

When I was coming back from being hurt, I was kinda doing AMRAP. I think a percentage volume work with AMRAP as the last set works. I've done it in the past and enjoyed it and it worked.

The higher reps is what reminded me. I think it'll be a nice break from chasing numbers and potentially lying to myself about RPE to do AMRAPS. It'll potentially be nothing but PRs for a long time anyway because the higher reps with less weight.

I lost count on top set of high bar squats. Was supposed to be 10. I knew I wouldn't have been able to finish the 5th set at 365 so I dropped the weight down.

Elbow were giving me shit so spoto kind of took a hit this week.

Also i got a head cold and that coupled with sets of 10 suck.

Definitely getting a little fluffy. Haven't weighed myself the last few weeks. Don't really care to at this point. Will continue to push and up the food. The puffiness is fucking with my head a bit, but it is what it is.
