The Alleged Plan

I say alleged but I seem very capable of writing great workout routines only to continue to adjust, adapt and outright throw out the entire plan if it doesn't seem to 'feel' right.After 40 continuous years of training, competition, coaching, studying, analyzing, obsessing, and dreaming about training and the body I've finally learned to listen to that instinct that says yes or no about each direction change we take.

Especially when it comes to training. I've pushed myself through programs and exercises and techniques that are 'theoretically' correct, but just don't feel right to me in the real world.Being so hampered for so long by imbalances, asymmetries, injuries and pain it's a kick to be able to have so many new( old)training tools and tricks at my disposal again.

But I really love the creative side of imagining a new routine that will deliver the next desired goal. Like a recipe,like an equation like a map.It's fun for me to try to figure out the formula that will deliver the consistent result. Or at least give me a running start,lol.

So here is the new plan based on a four week rotating cycle, each exercise gets its time at the start of the workout and many then get cameo roles as assistant moves when a new exercise(same but different) gets the main focus of that day.

Rep schemes and weights will vary according to what happened last week, last workout and last night ;)).

Each new month I will look back at what weight and load I used for that particular workout and adjust up or down accordingly. Ideally I would progress up each month for four workouts then scale down but we'll see.

The loads will also be varying from workout to workout depending on which part of the next days workout cycle I'm in( light to heavy, etc).

As I said at the beginning, the best laid plans, etc. The only thing that matters is that I train as hard as I can each time I go to the gym, don't miss sessions and stay supple! The rest are details and high quality problems.

Looks like a good start. Lots of Same but Different.Try to ladder up the weight and the corresponding volume each week for each of the different swing,snatch and press variations. Wave up and down.

Hey at least I can DO all the exercises I've listed above,lol. Add in a full hour of stretching/mobility and rolling at on Tuesday and Saturday ams and 30 minute minimums on ALL the other days, with the other 30 minutes done in the evenings.

NO days off.
