Time for a new journal as the old one has run it's course and the time has come for a new beginning.
Things were going reasonably well until about 6 months ago when a variety of health issues flared up and put paid to my years training goals. I'm on the mend now so will be starting again in 2014 with a slightly different approach.
I've been pushing the weights pretty hard over the last couple of years in an attempt to get back to where I was before a nasty back injury. I've been pretty successful tbh, far more so than I ever really thought possible, but in the process have cut a few corners training wise. The time has come to take a step back, get back to the basics and work on technique rather than simply weight lifted. I'm going to stick with the squats, deads and bench work, add in assistance work like glute/ham raises, chins and rows, and also some weightlifting stuff such as pulls and clean and jerk.
Blood and snot training designed to get me strong safely, and also to add flexibility and fitness which will, hopefully, improve my health and longevity in the sport through my 50's and possibly beyond. Good old fashioned Viking training
