This has been a hectic week with what little training I have managed sandwiched between work, family-life, meetings, etc. On the good side I have 'created' a bit of time on occasion by getting up earlier to pull the sled – Hopefully this is the positive start of a way forward. So training this week has consisted of:
Sled dragging:
'Pushing' using a Blast Strap-type arrangement, holding the handles out in front and pulling the sled behind. Really felt this the next day in my lats. Also pulling the sled behind by holding the strap handles behind me. Both of these are way tougher than using a harness. Also, pulling forwards and backwards. The grass in the meadow where I drag the sled is getting long now and pulling through some sections of grass three feet high ain't fun but wonderful when it ends.
5/3/1 weights:
This is a '3' week which has seen me augment the standard press, bench, deadlift & trapbar lift (substitute for squatting) with DB bench, DB row, hanging leg raises, swiss bar rows and power cleans. Numbers are looking ok and strength seems to be hanging in there.
As I say, I've had very little time and skill training has been limited to one session of heavy bag work, though this went well with power in the kicks especially good.
Looking forward to a good weekend of conditioning work.
Check out the videos of the recent FightUK event in Leicester. Leicester Shoot put on their usual good performance and of particular interest to me due to their weight category was the fight between Chris Miles and Adam Corbett. It's a good fight too.
