Good week

This past week was my first week with my gym open. It was fun. It was slow going, but it was fun when people were coming in. I also had a good training week. I hit 335 dlx5 and 275 squatx5.

I have figured out a training program for myself. I have wanted to find a balance between power, speed, and raw strength. The raw strength stuff comes from 70sbig.com. The power and speed comes from Catalyst Athletics. I have to do the Olympic lifts in order to stay explosive and fast.

Each week I will squat twice 3x5, press 3x5 once, bench 3x5 once and deadlift 1x5 once. I will also follow the WOD that Catalyst posts each day for my Oly work.

If the CA WOD has BS in it then I will obviously not do them or I will do them in a high bar BS position and scale the weight.

The 70sbig work will be done before the CA to ensure my full strength. I will have to eat a ton and drink a ton of milk to support this workout scheme. I think it will be a good balance.

I guy named Ricki, from Las Vegas, came into my gym on Friday and Saturday. He is 32 and is a former competitive power lifter, now competitive Olympic lifter. He is probably 5'8" and weighs 200 lbs. Solid. He is wicked strong. Anyway, he does 12 legitimate work outs a week. I want to call him and get a break down of his weekly training programming.
