October 15, 2017: Week 3 Day 1 Complex

I love Sunday mornings!  Our family has a big breakfast together as we get ready for the upcoming week.  Today was similar to other Sunday mornings.  I try to get my most difficult and strenuous training session in on Sunday mornings.  It gives me the best opportunity for recovery during the week, and I get the lift done before 11am.  

Training is starting to ramp up a bit.  Week 1 called for 4 x 8.  Week 2 called for 5 x 7.  Week 3 called for 5 x 7 with a 10% increase in weight per exercise.  I'm not training for strength, yet.  I'm getting my body ready for the rigors of what is yet to come.  I probably won't reach the strength levels I had when I was 26 years old, but that is ok.  I'm not training for a powerlifting meet.  I'm training to get my body ready to throw over 50m again.  I turn 36 this February.  I'm looking forward to throwing in a meet again.
