Whoops - Thankfully Training Has Been More Consistent Than Blog Posts!

There is nothing like the feeling of getting in a few consistent weeks of good training after being a little more sporadic!

Active - Yes!

Training and games of squash - Yes!

But not quite the dedicated routine of athletic weight training 3 times a week.

This, along with the squash several times a week and the focus of the training journal is what i've been back to. It felt even better after coming back from a couple of weeks with some flu bug i caught while travelling to America.

Each training session, as is typical for me, encompasses the whole body. At the moment though it's even more comprehensive as i'm hitting an explosive lift, both a leg and hip dominant movement, and both horizontal and vertical pulling and pushing.

In previous years i've definitely favoured the vertical pulling and pushing and typically only done either a leg or hip dominant movement - not both.

It's a good energetic session and really more physically balanced than previously. Lastly i'm including far more variety to the movement choices over the course of a week which can only be beneficial.

In terms of squash - my grip seems to have adapted and i'm back to having more fun and winning more games again!

How has your progress been in the last few weeks? Where is your training leading you - both in the short and longer term?

Hope you are being productive and having fun with it!

Look out for a link to a podcast that Pete Cohen did with me recently, coming soon.

Remember - you are an athlete!
