Ramblings

I've finally got it in my head I do not always need to max out during every training session. In fact, my numbers have improved by using sets and reps in the 3 sets of 2 range instead of heavy singles till I miss. Also, not going after big numbers on shirted high-boards has helped. 90% of my training has been raw and either full-range or low boards. I do rotate in reverse-band benches on Max Effort Day and a raw high-board "finisher" after the M.E. movements for lockout strength. I've also started using some aspects of Boring But Big (5x10). More like Brutal But Big but whatever, its working. Going to try a pretty tight F-6 Thursday, working down to at least a 1-Board. I will decide then if I'm going to compete in the loose Katana or OMG F-6. This I call fun.
