SHANE'S TRAINING – Week of January 12, 2025
Last week ended up going a little off the rails. My training partner and I were really sore. Completely messed up from the training. He needed to take Thursday off, which threw our training plan off by a day. Since I take Sundays off for family stuff, that means we were short the last back day of the week. We ended up doing it on Monday this week, which means our “week 2” starts on Wednesday this week. I don’t think it matters a ton in the end, but it reads a bit weird.
Despite starting with pretty low volume, last week left me really sore. All over. Every day. I know that doesn’t mean a whole lot in terms of muscle growth, soreness is a prerequisite, but it certainly is a sign you did something positive toward that goal. The meathead masochist side of me loved it. Since the volume is bumping up 20% for this microcycle, I suspect I will have a similar level of cripple this week as well.
I am managing to get some snatching and clean & jerking done, but nothing to write about. I’m simply trying to make sure I don’t lose my technique while at the same time not trying to eat into my recovery for the hard hypertrophy training.
