New cycle, new focuses, same consistent work.
Block A was about being quick and powerful. It set the tone and prepped me for Block B: sandbag ground-to-overhead. I’m not super confident with this movement YET; and that’s exactly why it’s in the mix. Doing new things is fun because… learning. The goal is to be using my 150 by the end of this cycle. Or sooner 😏
Block C was unilateral + carry work. Your boy loves strength, balance, offset load, and gait.
I didn’t always include a Block D “armor-building” phase, but it’s become one of my favorites. This is where the overlooked accessory work lives. It’s the stuff that reinforces weak points, keeps joints happy, and helps you feel good and move well for the long haul.
This session took about an hour. If I’m tight on time, I’ll hit just two blocks (A + C or B + C). Or I’ll take one block, set a 20-minute timer, and see how much quality work I can get done.
I really like the way I train. I miss having a barbell (and I’ll have one again someday) but I can get a lot done with what I’ve got. Most importantly, it’s challenging and I actually enjoy it.
My style might not be your bag, and that’s a good thing. I’m not here to yuck your yum. Find what you like and stick to it. Lean in. Test things. Seek guidance, but remember: you’re responsible for whether the work gets done. The best program in the world won’t help if you hate it. And without a strong why, even good results won’t last.
My goals?
Be mobile. Powerful. Strong.
(Selfishly) look good.
Be ready for whatever the moment calls for.
Those are the big ones, and they guide how I program for myself.
Ask yourself the same questions:
What are my goals?
What do I need to do?
What do I want to be able to do?
Why does it matter?
Be honest. Don’t compare. Don’t shame yourself for where you’re at.
Just keep showing up.
