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,...

Been injured for a while now, string of bad luck, first cracked my eyesocket, then pulled muscle in my leg, and then picked up a knee injury, not bad for a 17 year old lol. All in all haven’t played for 2 years. At the moment my knee injury is caused by a weak VMO and muscle imbalance pulling my...

I have been lurking for a very long time and decided to make this account. To start off I am a sprinter, as the title implies, and run whatever my high school coach tells me to in the indoor and outdoor seasons (I prefer the shorter sprints though). Here are my times from my previous year as a...

Football has always been a passion of mine, so I have been working hard the last 3 and 1/2 years trying to get my weight up so I can accomplish my goals. When I first started lifting I was 6' 153 lbs, so pretty tiny. I have come a long way since then and I decided to make a training log to go...

I've been a runner for over a decade, and started lifting about five years ago. I'd like to find a balance between lifting and running, and by that I mean, that whenever I add mileage weekly to my runs, my lifting backs off. Whenever I focus more on lifting, I find myself running less. I'm hoping...

I've had success in the past staying consistent with an online journal moreso than paper. It's weird because I hate reading books on electronic devices but online journals just seem to be way more effective at cataloging information. Anyways who cares about all that - I want to run a few ultras...
