Reflection

This was a solid week of training! I completed some intense trail running sessions in Valley Forge Park with Jake Canale. I was also able to get plenty of crossfit met-con conditioning sessions in as well as crossfit strength working on Olympic moves. I also have been including a Wendler type strength training (5-3-1-Deload) into my training at the YMCA. I focus on Deadlift, Overhead Squat, Bench Press, Weighted Pull-Ups, and more recently the push jerk in which I hit 3 reps at 175 lbs. I also was impressed with my 350 lbs deadlift for 3x3. Next week I will hit some heavy singles and deload (not sure exactly what that means) the week after next. I have just one more week of Winter Break and I intend on making the best of it!
