Highs of the Week: This week was actually good for a lot of reasons. First, I was super busy with work since I did some subbing at both jobs and my new class schedule kicked in at OrangeTheory. I knew some of my workouts were going to be shorter but they were all quality and onContinue reading “Busy week… Good”

Highs of the Week: I was stoked to the max about my heavy chest day seeing as 280lbs is a new max for me and I did seven sets of one. That’s the type of progress I am looking for and hope to continue into the coming weeks. Despite still not getting my long run inContinue reading “Progress and New Years”

Highs of the Week: My girlfriend and I celebrated 4 years together on Monday into Tuesday which is why I had a short workout on Tuesday. That was part of the plan though I really wanted to make sure everything worked out and we ended up having a really great time together. The highs of thisContinue reading “Winter is Here”

Highs of the Week: This week there were some changes in my routine to account for the fact that I covered some extra shifts at OrangeTheory. I did some heavy dumbbell low rows. Since I’ve been doing a lot of heavy chest exercises I wanted to throw those back into the mix just to keep myContinue reading “Just Keep Swimming”

Highs of the Week: This week I was glad that I got two days of chest workouts this week. One for strength progression and one for hypertrophy/strength. My training for my 300lb max is going to be much more focused and intentional. I am super excited about that moving forward. I was also happy to getContinue reading “Disappointing Week but Back on the Path”

Highs of the Week: The high of this week was the long run. It was a cold Winter day and it was the first day that I really had to bundle up to go for the run. It sucked but I was super glad I completed the run. Even though I failed my 1 Rep MaxContinue reading “The First Week of December”

Highs of the Week: The high of this week was the Fartlek workout I did outside on Saturday. It was a gorgeously sunny day that demanded a run outside. It had been a few weeks since my last fartlek workout and I was ready to go. The workout itself felt great. It was the perfect runningContinue reading “November Comes to a Close (Almost)”

Highs of the Week: The high of this week was my long run day. I felt really good the whole time and had good breathing. I think that averaging below a 7 minute mile is definitely going to consistently happen in the coming weeks as I continue these long runs and build my endurance. Things IContinue reading “Huzzah for Consistent Blog Posts”

Highs of the Week: This week was a success because after my first set of bench on Tuesday I felt confident enough to go up in weight for the rest of my sets. Also on Tuesday, I got to get a nice jog in which was relaxing and it was nice to get both aContinue reading “Let’s Get Started”

Clearly I lied about when I would be posting next.  This is due to the fact that over the last two months or so I have been in the audition and training process to become a Coach at OrangeTheory Fitness.  This has involved me taking lots of classes, attending weekend training sessions, and random micContinue reading “Life Update”
