This Past Week (6/27-7/3)

This past week was my deload week for SMS 8. After going really hard for the previous three weeks it felt really good to have a less intense week in the weight room. Monday was my squat day and I used this session with the lighter weight to really push my range of motion on every set. Also on Monday I put up a new article on the site, "Timed Sets For Auto-Regulation", which explains the theory and method behind SMS 7, SMS 8, and SMS 9.

Tuesday morning I did plyos and then had to make a trip to Chicago. On the way back I listened to two podcasts by Sean Croxton of Underground Wellness. These podcasts can be found on iTunes, and if there is one source for nutritional and wellness information that I could point you to I would point you to these podcasts. Every time I am in my car I plug in my iPod and listen to this blogtalk radio show, and every time I learn new and exciting information.

Wednesday was my bench day, and because my shoulder still hasn't completely healed, the lighter day was much appreciated. Thursday I deadlifted, and once again the lift went really well. I was in a great mood after my lift, then I picked up my phone and found out that the job I was supposed to begin two weeks later had fallen through. This really sent me for a loop, and as much as I tried to not stress, I have to admit that I was out of whack the rest of the day. I tried doing a yoga session to de-stress, but that didn't work at all as my mind struggled to grasp my new reality.

Friday I finished out my deload week on a strong note with a solid lift despite my new-found unemployment. I had my second plyo session of the week on Friday as well. Later that day I put up SMS 8 for sale in the Store on my website. This program can be downloaded right to your computer for only $10!

Saturday I ran hill sprints in my court for 20 minutes. My current routine for hill sprints is to find a hill that I can sprint up in 6 to 8 seconds when I'm fresh. Then I sprint up and walk or jog down for twenty minutes, trying to get 30 sprints in during the twenty minutes.

Well, that's all for this past week. Now it's time to go live this one.
