SHANE'S TRAINING - Week of Feb 05, 2024

My wife is out of town again this week, even longer than last time. That means I am somewhat limited in my training. Whatever I can manage to get done in my garage is all I have, no access to some of the usual movements I do when at the gym. Fortunately, I can still have a great workout. The biggest challenge, honestly, is trying not to make too much noise.

My glute tear is starting to feel a lot better. I am able to do Olympic lifts, at least light and for cluster singles, without too much issue. I tried some stiff leg deadlifts and, though they didn’t feel perfect, I was able to do them with a tolerable amount of pain. That, along with the block work I have done the last two weeks, makes me excited to try some work from the ground. I will be conservative with it, but it will be nice to start full deadlifts again.

I’m still going to superset in lighter movements between sets of the main lifts as best I can. I have some kettlebells and extra barbells in my garage which should allow me to do this. The extra, low fatigue volume always helps me put on size faster when I’m bulking and definitely helps my pressing strength. For the lower body it acts as more of active recovery, which I will never complain about.
