Comments: Same stretching routine this morning. I really like doing that. After starting the
dynamic warm-ups before working out the stretching kind've ended up going to the wayside.
Hope you all have a good day.

Did a bunch of stretching myself. My back is tight. I think I've entered the "dark days" of the "Bulgarian" model. The next week will be crucial to pushing through for the adaptations to take their full effect. I read this article: ditillo2.blogspot.com/2008/04/adaptability-anthony-ditillo.html?m=1Good stuff. We had a nice date and will be spending a lazy day around the house tomorrow. |

We had a nice date and will be spending a lazy day around the house tomorrow. Good call on the stretching. That's an interesting article and model. It reminds me the most of Crossfit and I know where I ended up when I was doing that... Anyway, it'll be interesting to see if it works for you over the long term. I'll admit, I'm skeptical. Glad you guys had a good date and hope you enjoy the lazy day. |

The big difference between this model and CF, is that CF is exercise and what I am doing is training. I have a goal/goals and a way to reach the goal. What is the goal of CF? To be "fit?"

I know crossfit really has no "model." That's not what I meant. I was talking about the workload. It just seems counter-intuitive to think that your body can recover that quickly (overnight). You could probably do it for a while, but it seems unlikely that you could continue it for the long haul. It just seems to go against most of what I've read and my personal experiences. That's just my honest opinion. I figured I'd offer it since we've discussed so much about training. Like I said, if it works, cool. I hope it does. |

Most folks are skeptical, but again, the evidence for me is compelling. So far, in ~month and a half, I have accomplished the following:
Squat +45# 1Rm
Bench went from ~215# 1RM to 270# as the last rep of a 5-4-3-2-1-1-1 scheme.
C&P ~20# gain on 1RM IOW, I can hit 170x1 as the last rep
The only lift I haven't had results with is my DL and that's because I don't like the DL and seem to avoid it.
Sometimes I am tired; like today, I knew I needed a rest, so I took it. Tomorrow, I will workout, even if I don't want to. You're right, this template goes against everything I know too, but that is why I am trying it. Worst case, I have to lay off eventually and go back to a "normal" routine, but I'll have made some significant gains.
TBH, it is kind of addicting.

Yep. Can't argue with results. And I wouldn't doubt that if you're doing that kind of volume that you would see some quick results. Like I said, I just wonder how this would work over the long term. Only time will tell. Sounds like you're going about it the right way. The body is capable of some pretty incredible things. In this case, it seems like you're not only trying to force your body to adapt to a stress, but forcing your body to adapt to adapting so often and to so much of a stress. The lack of recovery is the caveat for me. I don't know. I'm not one hundred percent sold on any workout routine. I know that certain things have been proven to work and once in a while something that seems unconventional may prove to work. As in life, all you can do is make the best choices you can based on the information that you have available to you at the time. In the long run we are all products of experience. Looking forward to seeing how it works for you.
