Forum: Sports Training Journals

Hey y'all, banana is back with a new training journal, this time for the Tuscaloosa half marathon in March.

Serious training starts tomorrow. I'm going to log it all here. This is more to keep my own feet to the fire than anything else. I'll be doing a westside style program utilizing Max Effort and Dynamic Effort days. I will, however, be using a 5/3/1 periodization for my max effort lifts (Squat,...

I was keeping my training log over in the 35 and older group, but since I"m not training for bodybuilding, but long drive golf, I'm putting here because maybe it's more appropriate. Just to be clear, my training goal is not bodybuilding, but to hit my driver 400 yards ( or over ), ideally in...

Hello all, I don't feel like I fit in the bodybuilding logs, as I'm getting back in shape after a terrible neck injury to play Basketball league. At my age it takes longer for injuries to heal. I played college and have played in league off and on over the years. My Dr. says I have spinal...

I can't go back to the orthopedic surgeon I've seen twice in good faith for this because I refuse to go for a third surgery.

Climbing is a sport of strength, finesse, and intelligence. The necessary strength extends beyond conventional weightlifting definitions of strength. As someone who clean and jerked 120+ kg in high school, I was inexplicably humbled on my first day of climbing as I struggled through a beginner...

Picked up Brazilian Jiu Jitsu upon moving to LA from my hometown of Chicago in Nov of 2017 and I'm pretty much obsessed with it now.

I've always been a strong swimmer, and was at regional level back in my early teens. I started open water swimming in April having not been training in 15 years. Did one practice swim in my wetsuit and then did my first OW 1500m a week later, placing third. I later placed seventh, winning the...
