Rest makes you Stronger
by Dave Guilford



Colby and the Beast

OHS, BP's

for 28sep

Work up to Bench Press 1RM
then Bench Ladder... start with 80% 1RM (or close to it) for max reps, then decrease by 10# each time for max reps. once you have hit a round of 15 reps, or reach just the bar(whichever comes first) YOU ARE DONE. keep track of Load and reps.
You'll move down the ladder quickly, until the weight gets really light...Have a spotter in case.

Mil. Pax: Max push-ups in 30 seconds,rest 1 minute then Mimic the workout above with push-ups. Except, it will be 3 push-ups added every minute. i.e. 1st minute, 3..2nd minute, 6..3rd minute, 9...etc. until failure. meaning your push-up form looks like you are having seizures. To score this is total number of push-ups + what round you ended on.

for 27sep

work up to 1RM (rep max) Over Head Squat (OHS)
Then 5x3 OHS @ 80% 1RM ....DO NOT FORGET: ACTIVE SHOULDERS!
Then 5x3 each leg...Weighted Lunge in Front Squat position @ 115#
Balance and control!!!
Then reverse grip pull-up (palms facing you)Ladder... VERY STRICT FORM, Complete dead Arm hang...1 rep every 30seconds. start with 1 @:30, 2@1minute, 3@1:30 4@2minutes, ... go until failure Scored by Total #Reps.

Then...Watch all the FOOTBALL you can!!! Replace carbs, protein, and fats by any means necessary.

Mil. Pax: Run 7x30/90's...30 seconds running, followed by 90 seconds rest
this should be fast and controlled. The last one should feel like you just finished running the 2mile on the APFT.

This is Sparta...Well just a Spartan Run!

Body Composition Testing

Yesterday , 22sep, i had a body composition test performed at the Sanderson Ctr. (the gym on Campus)... Testing by skinfold using calipers. Almost 5 months ago, actual date; 25april, i had the same test performed on a Tanita body composition analyzer at my aunt's weight loss clinic in Mobile, AL. Here's the 5 month difference:
Tanita results:25apr..........................skinfold test:22sep
wgt 156.4 ........................................160 lb with shoes on
Body Fat% 13.2 ................................8.2
Fat mass 20.6 lb..............................13.2
Lean body weight(muscle)135.8 lb....147

The Program works!!!

i was not on any certain diet, just ate sensibly, 5-6 meals a day based around lean protein, and worked my butt off in the gym and during my training sessions.
Intensity, Variance, Functional Movements, and a controlled nutritional program; That is all you need!!!

Results not typical, but the you'll get benefits

heavy dose, with a Time Trial (TT)... Note: All Training is 3days on/ 1 day off , Italicized is for B TRP Scouts only!!!
