Canary in a Coal Mine

Starting a new log cause I’m trying something new. A few weeks ago I read an article ( there have been many) on the site about HFT. I have never tried his type of training so here goes. I’m going to try it with Deads first. 5 days a week of DL should be interesting?! The weights will range from 50-70% of max…don’t know if I can keep my ego in check and not pull something heavier.

There are only 2 work sets per day of 5 reps each. You do it for 3 weeks and in week 4 retest max and start over based on that number…I’m going Tues/Wed/Thurs/Sat/Sun…and see how long I last! I’m also going to lighten up on my other lifts and do higher reps.

Peace

3 days in a row the umph is sucked out of me… but not looking forward to tomorrow off, I’m afraid Sat could be full of aches and pains. Hoping that by this time next week my body gives out or adjusts!!

Yesterday I thought I was going to have to back down to 3x week from joint aggrevation …today I felt good, still some creaky aches but actually had a little giddy-up in the saddle. If my elbow would just settle down I might feel normal.
