Luke's Log

[Luke Douglas]

Seeing as I've started asking for help around these parts, I feel that I owe the community proof that their recommendations are not falling on deaf ears. With that sentiment in mind, I plan on using this forum to log my workouts. I'm hoping that this will both keep me accountable and open my training up to fresh eyes and fresh ideas.

Some starting stats:
M/5’11’/180lbs/22yrs
Back Squat (high bar): 235
Shoulder Press: 125
Deadlift: 314
C+J: 155
Snatch: 95 (technique limited! The snatch is hard . . .)
Can touch the net of a basketball hoop
Tuck planche hold, 5 sec or so
No FL prowess at all, back lever tuck hold 5 sec (maybe)

First day as per the program discussed here: http://performancemenu.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4300

Tuck FL: 12x5 sec or so
Planche: 12x5 sec or so, alternating between frog stand on rings and tuck planche on ground

No density training today, as I'm feeling pretty stuffed up with a head cold and don't want to aggravate it. Instead I rode my bike around for a bit and enjoyed the nice weather.

Stretching ( http://agt.degreesofclarity.com/stretching/ ) in the evening.

Still sick, took the day off.

Wednesday 20090520
Still really sore from the FL/planche work, skipped it 'case the gym was closed today.
MovNat: played outside for an hour or so today. Climbed some trees, ran around on the grass, kicked a soccer ball. Doing this stuff in bare feet is hard. . .

Yeah the barefoot transition takes abit of getting used to once you do though you never want to wear shoes again. BTW this is going to sound weird but you shouldn't refer to the MN style training as MovNat as you haven't been taught be a MovNat coach, sounds nit picky I know but its important to Erwan that people distinguish between the system he teaches and people training similarly on their own.
