Force Recon Day 1

Figured I'd try this for a few weeks. I normally have trouble sticking to a routine. It goes along with Dan John's statement that we don't have enough mental RAM to coach ourselves. Every time I try to set a routine for myself, it ends up turning into a completely different routine about three days in. So, despite all the great ideas I have for myself, they never work the way I want, because the plan always changes. You'll never make improvements unless you stick with something long enough to see a difference, and that takes mental tenacity. When you choose your plan yourself, there is always a way YOU can make it better...while never actually progressing with anything. As a trainer, exercise science student, and athlete, I am obsessed with the latest research, freshest ideas, old ideas, etc. So, every time I read about it, I want to try it. Well, I read everyday, so...:)
When I was in high school and I wrestled, working out was easy. All you did was what coach told you to do. Well, now I'm making it easy and doing what Pavel Tsatsouline told me to do:)

Weighted Pullups
35lb/5
25lb/5x4

Alternated with

Double Clean and Press
2x24kg/5x5

Front Squat
2x24kg/5x5

Snatch
32kg/6/6x5

Alternated with

Hanging Leg Raise
/2x5

That's it. Cold water douse in 35 degree weather, and then milk, cream and peanut butter blended. The snatches were hard in the first 2 sets, but got easier as the sets progressed. I haven't worked with the 32kg in awhile, and I think I needed a couple "refresher" sets. Otherwise, good workout. Took me about 50 minutes.
