Yup

It's been some time, but I've decided to post again. My training schedule is as follows for June:
Monday
C&J– Max
Snatch – 15x1 on 1
Tuesday
Back Squat – 3x5
Press – 3x5
Pullups – 3x8
Ring Dips -3x25 unbroken
Wed
Rest
Thursday
Snatch – Max
C&J – 10x1 @ 2
Friday
Squat - 3x5
Bench – 3x5
DL – 1x5
Dips - 3x5
Pullups - 3x25 unbroken

I might throw in some conditioning, but probably not much. Also, the plan changes in July because of the CT Open (which I encourage everybody to give a shot).

Holy Crap

This has been a long time coming. Carlee and I are exactly 2 months from being betrothed. Yup. 2 months. We are a catalyst cycle away. Not that we aren’t basically married already, we live together in a house we bought together. We have two kittens (which undoubtedly like her better) and we’ve known each other closing in on 7 years. Long time.

Anyways, training may be taking a back seat to wedding planning. That’s OK. I’ve become less and less obsessed with time in the gym and focused on the quality of workouts. Besides, as I get older (I’ll be 25 in July), I need more rest and recovery time anyway.

In the next couple of months we (read: Carlee) will be losing some sleep. Actually, her next 4 weekends are booked solid. I’m not sure if she’s sleeping until June (good luck Carlee). This problem is particularly bad because she can’t run the way that she was a couple of months ago due to some hip problems that the ART guy thinks could be something with her stabilizing tendons. I feel really bad because I know how much running means to her and how much of a stress reliever it can be after dealing with bratty 7th graders all day.

Regardless of training or how these next 8 weeks play out it’s going to be great getting ready for a big party that begins with the Mets and Ping Pong has booze and ends in funfetti cake and bustin’ one or two moves (rinse and repeat, I’m white).

If anybody out in Internet Land wants to get me a gift and wants to go off the beaten path of the registry, have no fear, you can get me this. I promise to use this nearly every day.
