As a new box owner, it's been a real challenge to find a way to train over the last year. My original coach canceled the only class I could attend, and it was getting difficult driving 25 minutes each way with my hectic schedule. I tried going to another box, but I really wanted to do the programming I set up.
After 2 years of coaching my clients, I finally have a few folks who are far enough along to train alongside me. In other words, I have some training partners.
Finally! I feel a part of a box again! I cannot tell you much I love doing the same WODs as my peeps, competing with them and feeling their pain.
This has been going on since January. As a result, my training has been spot on consistent. I haven't missed a single scheduled day of training. I am diligently training 3 on 1 off then 2 on 1 off.
Not surprising, my lifts especially are exceeding my old PRs. My clients and training partners' lifts are too.
Since we're doing Linear Progression 3X per week, at 3 sets of 5 reps, I'm not at or near my old one rep maxes for these sets.
Deadlift--old PR 240, am currently working sets with 215.
Bench--old PR 100, am currently working sets with 100.
Press--old PR 75, am currently working sets with 80.
Squats--old PR 165, am currently working sets with 160.
In another week, we move into an indoor "facility". Actually it's a church gym. How cool is that? We've been using it for rain dates, now we get to put up pull-up bars, paint it, build weightlifting platforms and sort of set up shop.
