It’s week 3 of our training month! This means it’s time for intensification. We’re in POWER mode and there are three amazing outdoor workouts plus a gymsesh to fill out your week. The key workouts of the week (WOW!) are slated for Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday but you can put them wherever you like. That filler gymsesh covers the other…
Howdy Tribe member and I hope you are doing not just well, but fantastic. This is a unique update because we are covering 2 weeks instead of one. We are entering the second and final month of our Power Training Block. As you know, this is the amalgamation of strength and speed, as power sits approximately in the middle of…
Hey you powerful BEAST! Great work on month 1 of our 2-month Power Block! You are kicking it! This final week of the month will be our deload, in which things will get a bit light and casual and your body can catch up from all the zesty sessions we’ve been performing. As we get ready for summer, it’s a…
It’s week 3 of the month and we are headed into some intensification! Power training continues with a strength/speed focus! You’ve been doing great in transitioning into this block. We are going to increase load and effort this week in a few key areas. We continue to develop connective tissue integrity so that our bodies can stabilize and augment power…
Week 2 of May continues with Power Training! We’ve made just a few changes to the sessions and I’ll highlight those below. The main thing to remember with power is that, once you are warmed up, you focus on making your movements more explosive. For now, this doesn’t need to be all-out…just purposeful. There are two main changes for the…
Enter the Power Block! This might be my favorite block because of the dynamic nature of this type of training. Power sits roughly in the middle of the force/velocity curve, and it uses a blend of strength and speed. If you want to get fancy, you can bias the strength side and call it strength-speed (which is how we’ll begin…
Hello Amazing Tribe Member! It’s the final week of our Strength Block and we are doing a nice, easy deload after 3 dedicated months of work in the iron church! Our major goal this week is to give the joints and muscles a little break and limber up the body before starting our upcoming Power Block. This week will look,…
Tribestser…you are a truly totally titanium terminator! This month is a 5-weeker and in the 4th week we are keeping on keeping on with our triple progression lifts in the three major workouts. They’ve been moved to A, B, and C (M-W-F) because now Workout D is your general conditioning session that’s a little lighter and you can fill in…
Greetings Tribe member and I hope your April is going extremely well. This is the week of 4/11 and some of you will remember the old “411” days when you dialed those numbers for information. Oh, how the times have changed! And speaking of change, that’s what we are doing with our general conditioning workouts (B,D,F) this week. But before…
Another week. Same days but definitely not the same s**t! This week we are using our double progression method and expecting to see a few more reps added in your primary and accessory moves of sessions A, C, and E. Let me know if you need a little help with technique or setup. Ping me in the T2 Forum or…
It’s the 3rd and final month of the Strength Block and it’s the first of week of April. But this is no fooling and you are no fool! You are a robust, resilient, versatile, and durable athletic BEAST! Now we are moving into a new training split. You will be performing a full-body resistance workout three times per week and…
Congratulations on making it to week number 4 of month 2 in the Strength Training Block. You’ve mastered the concepts of RPE and RIR and you’ve explored momentary muscular failure. KPE tests have revealed 12RM’s, AMRAP times, and power output! This is the deload week, where we back off a bit, consolidate those gains, and have a blast with some…
Howdy Terrific Tribester! What an amazing week we have in front of us. It’s KPI test time and we are going to the well! At least this is true in your final set of each primary lift for Workout A and B! RIR 0 means you go til you got nothing left. Momentary muscular failure! Let the gains begin! Week…
Talk about AWESOME! You are, and so is the fantastic programming for this week. We’re making some slight adjustments (upgrades, really) to our workouts and I think you’ll be pleased. Because we’re in Month 2 (of 3) in our dedicated Strength block, we don’t change up the movements too much like we did in the Agility block. The workouts give…
Howdy, amazing Tribe member! We are kicking off month 2 (of 3) in our Strength Training Block. This month we will be using a new training split, a new methodology for intensity rating, and some exciting new exercises! Last month we used a push-legs-pull x 2 training split, with an optional day for rest or other training and excitement. This…
Oh, yes, we are heading into our 4th and final week of this 1st of 3 months in the Strength Training Block. You are now a master of RPE as well as some good, basic compound movements. This week we will be ushering in a slight deload as you consolidate some of the gains from pushing it last week. This…
You rock. You roll. You rule. You win. Thanks for being an amazing member of the Training Tribe and for inspiring me to play the long game. The game of life. The athletic life. That’s what we do. And we do it spectacularly this week as we now refine our technique in the exercises, test ourselves a bit, and really…
We’re entering the 2nd week of the first month of our Strength Block, and I hope you are doing well. Learning how to fine-tune your workouts, and to achieve progressive overload by using RPE is indeed a skill. Let me know if you have any questions. This week we are not making huge changes, but you will notice that now…
Oh Yeah! We’re jumping into our Strength Block this week. That’s 3 dedicated months of increasing strength and muscle mass. I love all the blocks and I find each aspect of training both enjoyable and challenging. But I must admit there is something special and traditional about getting in the gym and clanging and banging. In preparation for this block,…
Congratulations Mighty Tribe Member! You’ve completed the Agility Block, smashed the second month of it, and are now ready for our deloading week! This will involve some creative play weaved into the sessions you’ve been dominating, and you can further explore your ability as a movementsmith. Workout A and B are getting transformed yet again, with some Bonus work thrown…
