I'm training to compete in a powerlifting meet at the end of October. It's been awhile, about 5-years. I had to kick a few demons in the teeth that were holding me back just to get started. That to me is huge and worth more than any squat, bench, or dead ever could. Here are the updates after the first 10-week cycle.

For the first week, get this workout in 3x. It is extremely fast and basic if completed as a standalone session. That's what I've intended. On the other hand, if you are already exercising, just add these two movements in with your other work.
Read MoreThe most important way I get prepped for a great training session is through my pre-workout "stack"... it's not a stack in the true sense, as it's pretty simple, but it's no less super effective and I wanted to share it.
Read MoreI've committed to and started training for my first powerlifting meet in 5-years. In the past I can't say I've ever really prepared to my fullest. My diet has always just "been" and I've competed at whatever my weight happened to be (which was always in the 165 class).
My training prep has always been good. Great planning, actually. But, I tweaked details too much and those were in the days when I had 2+ hours to burn lifting. I don't have that anymore.
Read MoreMindset as it relates to performance, or lack thereof, has fascinated me over the years - especially since having children. I've found my ability to really focus has diminished greatly. Part of that is definitely age related.
Read MoreHere is the current wave I'm on in the weight room. I'm also 3-weeks into a 5-10k training plan. So that consists of 7 x 35min E pace for the week.
My main purpose for this strength training wave is to continue to support my running. The winter was tough and I was uncharacteristically inconsistent with my runs. So, I'm taking myself through the often recommended 6-week base building (or really injury prevention) phase prior to starting the more intense training.
With that said, the actual lifts I'm doing are pretty legit, although I've scaled back a touch from my winter waves. So, far I've felt great. The more frequently I am able to get out on the trail the better my legs feel.
I actually changed my foot strike about a month ago and am loving it: I went from a mid-foot strike with no heel drop to a mid-food strike WITH a heel drop. I've found it makes an incredible difference for my calves and plantar fascia.
Anyway. This is what my training consists of. Will be getting a new wave soon. Still loving my overhead squat. BOOM.
