Friday Thoughts #7

• Join us tonight at Liars Bench for a GAIN Community Event. We’ll be hanging out starting at 5pm. Hope to see you there!

• Daily Habit Challenge: second weekend coming up. Plan ahead and stick with it. You’re basically halfway there, hopefully it’s getting easier and easier.

• Easy Strength Update: As I approach the final 10 workouts of the 40 session program, the frequency was starting to add up. As my “everyday” weight climbed, eventually, the time I need to recover did as well. I’ll see the program through the end, and in the spirit of it, I’m focusing on keeping the weights easier this week. I’ve taken about a week off from ring dips. Doing daily 2x5 sets was wearing on me. I felt really strong, and did an easy, slow tempo set loaded with a 20 pound weight vest. After that, I decided the daily volume was too much and I’d rather do the ring dips once or twice and week with a little more time between sessions. I’ve replace some of that time with more tempo pull ups. Really focusing on a hollow position or, when I’m feeling a little more fresh, an L sit eccentric.
