Conditioning

Don't be concerned with numbers. I didn't write establish a new PR, I wrote establish a max. Max means for the day. So if you're feeling like shit, then don't push it. Keep your form good, focus on technique and if you're hitting your lifts, then keep building up.

If you fail 3 lifts , drop 20 pounds and build back up. Call it a day if you fail a lift after that.

This is the next upcoming competition. The program isn't going to be changed much. He has (Scott) posted two workouts so far, and i'm sure some more are to come. We'll play with them a little bit, but don't expect to have the whole week switched around. 

I booked our hotel for the weekend. Scott says it's within walking distance, so that's nice.

Joe and Dave, you're bunking with me. We'll have 2 queens, and most likely able to get a roll-out.  I'll also be driving. I ask that you guys prepare your supplements properly before we leave. We are also going to go to the super-market (Trader Joes) and stock up for the weekend so we can save money, and time.

Guys, I want you to start moving a little quicker through the workouts. Heart rates should be kept high, sessions should not go past 2 hours (tops). Even if it takes you some time building up, you should have an idea of your numbers and get there rather quickly.

3 sets of max L-sit - 2011 games standard - rest 60s between attempts
 

400m run

OLY:

Snatch from floor + hang snatch - heavy "single" then proceed to....

Snatch singles - near maximal weight - 3-5 sets @90% and above

 Shoulder Press - (AHAP) - rest 60s

Muscle ups

Accessory :

10 Supine Ring Pull-ups
12 GHD situps 



An analysis of Joe "The Juice" "Joey" Arias food log 


5 days out of the week this is pretty dam accurate

meal 1 - 4 strips bacon , 2 whole eggs , 6 egg whites

half avacado , fruit (usually apples and cantelope)

pre-wod shake - 10 bcaa , 10 glutamine , 25 g karbolic, 5 g creatine


post wod shake - 50 grams hydro whey, 10 g glutamine, 10 g creatine, 25 g karbolic


meal 2 - 8oz 96 % lean burger , sweet potato , half avacado

meal 3 - 5-6 oz chicken breast tenderloins, random stiry fry veggies about 2 handfulls , cashews

meal 4 - 8oz 96 % lean burger , sweet potato , half avacado

meal 5 - 2 salmon patties , asparagus and maybe some fruit and almond butter

Pre bed time shake or Post second wod shake - 50 grams hydro whey, 10 g glutamine, 10 g creatine, 25 g karbolic


Before I give my two cents on this, just understand, I'm not a nutritionist. I spend a fair amount of time reading about nutrition, diets, etc. With that being said, there are always people out there who will disagree with me, you, and tell you there is a better way. And that's just fine. Take everything with a grain of salt. Heh.

First, there's not nearly enough vegetables in this diet. Not by a long shot. For the most part, it does a pretty good job avoiding sugar and keeping true to the Paleo protocol.

I'm not a big fan of the karbolic crap. I'm just not. Eat a sweet potato or a banana instead. It's cheaper, and better.

It's a lot of meals, which means a lot of work. Like I've said before, I'm a big fan of IF (leangains.com). It saves time, which means you can be more productive. Worth reading at the minimum.

I'm not entirely sure on what his goals are, aside from "getting big".  Performance wise, he doesn't need to get any bigger. He needs to lean up, and work on his gymnastics and motor. The strength is there.

What's up folks

It's a new week, which means, a beautiful way to destroy our bodies once again. All jokes aside, I want you guys to train smart. I know, I know, that almost goes against everything that this blog stands for. This is not my intention. But alas, I care for you and we still have plenty of time until game day. That means we need to get strong and powerful, but stay healthy and recovered. 

I'll try to be posting the workouts a day early, and updating content accordingly. 

I want you guys to plan your meals for the week. If we need to take a bro-trip to the supermarket, I'll drive to trader-joes and we can stock up. Let me know when you have time and we'll do it. 

Also, expect to be using the lap-pool at my apartment in the next few weeks. Swimming workouts are coming up.
