Let's talk training

Push it beyond our capabilities.

Something different.

I had a word with Kirksman when I was in Malacca for a short trip. He told me that Coach Wu noticed that my quads were weak during my pulls. It was really obvious when I had a slow breakoff from the ground during my max deadlift pull. 

So I guess he and Coach Wu got something up for me. Thanks guys. 

Its is basically an anti-periodization programme. As for me , I’m aiming to pull 210kilos before the year ends. 

So this is how the workout is. I know it sounds really weird, but trust me it is tough as hell.

Deadlift

Pull a double 170kg for a max.

Drop down to 150kg for 4×3 

Snatch Deadlift of 25kg plates (explosive movement towards the back extension )

90kg x 5 x 5

Bench Press , Barbell Rows, Side Raises and Dips are optional workouts since I have a really focused goal right now. 

Now I made a short analysis after the workout and I realized that my movement isn’t as quick as its supposed to be. My body is still adapting to the new workout routine. I’m seeing some results by end of this year. 

This is where cross-training comes into play. No! You wouldn’t get weaker or loose muscles or strength. It is a myth. The whole point of performing cross-training is to gain extra speed hence getting quicker breaking off the ground which would keep me closer to my 210kg pull goal by end of the year. 

 

Cross-training is tomorrow. Joseph has a big group waiting and tomorrow is speed day. See you outdoors !
