Sunday Sept. 30/12

Make-up, Repeat or Recover Day!

Tis Sunday and if I was a bettin' man I would hope to bet that everyone is crushin' their own program on the days away from work too and you're that type of person then Sunday typically ends up being a recovery day......

Now, if that is not your gig and you are just following along with blog workouts (or using them to supplement your program) then here's the scoop.

Find a past workout that you missed and give it a whirl, or a past workout that you did and repeat it- note your improvements!  This one should be an easy one to find right there in your workout log book, iPhone app etc......

WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DON'T HAVE A WORKOUT LOG??

Probably the single most important part of my gym kit is my log book.  Every workout I do is directly impacted by its pages of past workouts.  Every personal record I have achieved in the last couple years (especially the last 20 or so weeks) I think I can attribute to the fact that I logged where I was, what I did, and my journey to get to where I am now.  Pretty sweet, after about 20 weeks of focused training I am the strongest I have ever been in all of the core lifts (squat, deadlift, bench press, shoulder press).

On second thought, don't get a log going.  Having a tool to keep you focused on your program, track your daily increases in fitness and document your journey to your Wild Ass Goals (WAGs) is highly over-rated.....
