have not posted in forever…as my injuries that forced me out of any “real” lifting has led to a total readjustment of my training philosophies and goals.
over the last few months, I have settled into a groove, and made peace with my new training needs, and actually have been able to work in a few “real” lifts with halfway respectable weight every now and then when pain levels allow.
my biggest influence on my new way to train has been dave tate and john meadows, mainly because of all the “famous” iron game people, I believe Dave Tate is the only one who is as fucked up as me injury wise, and near my age, who is making progress.
instead of outlining an entire program, i will instead just post last weeks training.
