Been a little while since the last post...

but have been training my ass off just the same.

Training has shifted gears as of late. My previous training style has been replaced with Adam T. Glass' "Radian Dawn" pressing protocol.

To put it bluntly, it is a powerfully stimulating training style, and the assault on your nervous system will garner quick results. So slow and intelligent choices need to be made to prevent enthusiastically large jumps and an increased chance of injury.

Today was the beginning of a second full cycle of the pressing protocol, having started with the heavy day, and performing the protocol four days consecutively, with a day off between the second "medium" day and the heavy day.

The session today consisted of Stacked Presses, 3 sets of doubles, with a 16 kg stacked onto a 24 kg. These were easily performed, compared to the last session. Each set was started with an easy double in the pullup with 18 kg hanging from my waste.

Then, following the protocol, was the Push Press Walk outs, for 4 ladders of 2 rungs, with 48 kg. These were supersetted with single pullups with 24 kg, which were suprising ly easy.

This was then followed with two sets of rows for 12 (each arm) with 48 kg, trying to keep the reps explosive. These were supersetted with my "teeth lifts" with 24 kgs for sets of 10.

It was then on to 2 sets of doubles with the half TGU's, as recommended by Adam Glass' protocol, each half getup combined with an arm-bar, all performed slowly, and with 48 kg. The more I combine TGU's with arm-bars in a 1:1 ratio, the better my shoulders become, most especially my right shoulder, which took the brunt of a 5 year football career through junior and senior high school.

A quick jump through 2 ladders of (3, 6, 9) with 24 kg in the Snatch, and that was all she wrote.

I am going to follow the Titan Challenge protocol for swings with the Snatch, to prepare myself for the VWC 15:15 protocol. Or I might combine the two, with the VWC 15:15 protocol being performed on the lighter days. We shall see.

Anyways, this post is long enough, and I will endevour to post more regularly.
