Still training I don’t know when I will start this log back up. I’m doing a HLM variation and still playing baseball. I log everything in an app now which makes things much easier.
 
Wow it's been a while since I Have even opened this and some or most of the videos have disappeared. At any rate I will probably start back up and post again good and bad workouts. My goals for the rest of the year are to keep training with concurrent method via barbell medicine programs. Westside was a fun way to train and being that it isn't really periodized but rather pendulum cycles is a fun way to train and it works fairly well. The barbell medicine version of concurrent is a step above IMO so I have been doing that for a while. Despite the arguments I have in he main forum I do in fact get injured and it sets my lifting back but my baseline is pretty good then I just ramp back up to PR territory so it is give and take.

GOALS for the rest of 2025-2026
1) win my baseball regular season and playoffs
2)win the MSLB World Series in Arizona
3)try to total 1400 at a meet in Houston

plan is to do the general S and C template until 13 weeks out and then switch to a powerlifting program at the end of the year for the meet

sports injuries are no fun at all but what else Am I going to do? grow a garden?

in 2026 im going to switch to more of a cross training style template and do a tad more olympic lifting, more varied conditioning and get my middle distance sprints times down like 400, 800 and mile.

Im actually planning on getting back involved with Martial arts and I am going to use JTS AI programming while training for an amateur fight. I told my family I wanted to at least get one under my belt. If not MMA then I will definitely be searching out a full contact karate tournament at some point in 2026. As far as baseball goes I will likely keep playing because I am almost certain I will be asked to play for somebody. A few guys asked me to start a league in my city actually.

Anyways here goes nothing

quick mobility routine and rotator cuff band work before winding it down

Actually ordered the NASM study guide and test earlier for MMA and golf as well as the nutrition for bodybuilding study guide and test. I have more certifications than God and im slightly annoyed that NASM wont recognize my Westside certification.
 
upon waking I did my mobility routine and rotator cuff work with band light

today just threw a 40 pitch bullpen working on curves mostly

did a tempo workout on the rower 2x8 reps 30 seconds interspersed with band exercises the first set and drop pushups/situps the second

bodyweight is up from 190 to 195 from a few weeks ago....205 is my target by the end of summer...slowly but surely then after I hit the total I want in SBD I want ill come back down to 190-195 and maybe do a small bulk again to 205 when I try to hit my olympic numbers. After that the door is open but I doubt I will just stay at 205 more like 185-195 and fairly ripped is my goal. Within a couple of week cutting distance from 170 would be my best weight for more endurance based training or welterweight would be my optimal weight class for MMA at 5'9".

The best crossfitters are about 190-195 as well and me wanting to be a hybrid athlete that is probably my best weight.

I know that if I did a water cut from 185 I could reach 170 in a couple of weeks if need be. Adding weight is easy to me it is cutting that is hard.

I think when people see during a cut they can actually improve performance parameters in some way that it makes you psychologically able to cope with losing weight because you can actually gain strength on a cut and even muscle. Also at a lighter bodyweight you are better at bodyweight movements/gymnastics stuff as well as middle distance/longer distance events or even like metcon type of stuff. Personally I think adaptations from Metcons would be better served by just using barbells for strength and middle distance runs.
 
Bromley put out a good video today about how you cant technique your way to top levels in it

thought it was worth putting in my log

 
general s and c block 2 intro week day 3

did a bunch of baseball skill work throwing working on sliders/curves/sweepers tried to get a feel for a sinker and hitting off the tee....pitching and hitting is so much harder than lifting to be honest....people say that hitting the baseball is the hardest thing to do in sports and I agree but I would have to say that pitching is right up there with it.

deadlift
405x4@6
445x4@8
(deadlift strength is shooting right on up as expected

push press up to 175x3@7ish

hatfield squat
[email protected]
245x7@8
(likely miscalculated the RPE and undershot no big deal getting used to the exercise)

lat pullovers with ez bar
85x6@7
[email protected]

goblet squat
80x10@ 6 ish
80x12@8ish
(undershot on purpose going to replace this slot with sled pulls henceforward)

medicine ball rapid rebounds throws 6 variations x10x2
few rotator cuff movements with band

tommorow will just be a sprint/conditioning day. we have the week off this week and then the playoffs start next Sunday

Talked with two teams one from Houston that wants me to be a tournament player and I actually signed up to compete in Arizona with a team from Arizona in October. Should be very fun as it always is over there. The Arizona team wants me to be a pitching specialist for them and I embrace that challenge.

Crossing my fingers that I dont have a severe injury and have to build everything back from square one again. I have broken a pinky and also an ankle sliding into bags. I got a sliding Mitt I use now and just dive headfirst now so far so good.

One thing ive learned over time is that short and near term goals as far as training are pretty much all that matters. You can try to plan out 4 years in advanced and for all but the most elite professionals it never really works that way in my experience.
