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…
Happy Labor Day Weekend! I salute the American worker and I salute YOU for all the work you’ve put into your training. As we settle into a fall pattern and begin to accumulate volume in the Endurance Block, we are making some adjustments to the workouts we did last week. You may feel a slight bump in fatigue. Make sure…
Congratulations on your progress! You are AWESOME and you are FAST! We’ve worked through tons of gait mechanics and the secrets of acceleration and max velocity. You’ve run the 100, 200, and 400 meters. Now we are pushing your speed endurance out to the final distance of the speed block…the 800 meters. We’ve got two track sessions, one field session,…
Deloading time is here! Our speed is really coming along. This week we concentrate on running form. We’ll back off slightly to let our tissues catch up this week as we work a little general conditioning. Still focusing on track for a few more weeks. I’m getting some feedback that you like having one key session to try and repeat…
Here we go with another great week in speed training. You are doing great! As you are both discovering and exemplifying, speed is as much a mindset as it is a physical performance capacity. We progressively ramp up and activate our bodies to get into the speed zone. And then we concentrate on doing just a few things intensely. Good…
Isn’t speed exhilarating! You’re doing great and I hope you are having fun with our speed focus. In fact, focus is what this is all about. Right now we are not concerned about doing lots of volume or learning new exercises. We are concentrating on refining our fitness and getting better at what we are doing…which is going FAST. We’re…
Yo Ho Ho and a Bottle of Rum! If I was a pirate that might be something I’d say, but it actually has no relevance to this week’s programming updates. Or does it? If pirates pillage and plunder, your prowess in the Power Block may be exceptionally pronounced! OK…on with the show. This week we intensify a bit and push…
Hello amazing Tribe member and welcome to another exciting week in our programming. In this 3rd week of month 1 for the Power Block, we are doing some intensification in our workouts.

It’s week 2 of month 1 in the Power Block. I hope you are feeling great and loving these dynamic sessions. No major changes this week, but I’m going to review a few points and make some subtle adjustments to the workouts.

When you are in the TRIBE, YOU TRIUMPH over Trials and Tribulation. And that’s not trivial talk! This is going to be yet another fantastic week of tasty twaining because we are exploring cat-like capacities and introducing the concept of the scalable microworkout. A true treat of terrificness! December is a 5-weeker and we have the added luxury of hitting…
In this week’s Tribute to the Tribe (you), I’ll start off by reminding you that you are AMAZING! Embracing multi-capacity physical excellence is a full-time job. And this week you are up for a promotion. We’re pumping up the volume as we explore both movement diversity and skill mastery. We’ll be managing gravitational force vectors and owning shape and position. …
