“Only who dare to fail greatly, can ever achieve greatly.”
I’ve had a weird year - I’ve started many logs, gone through many programs.
Overthinking, over-analysing - usual BS
So I won’t be following a program, but I will be using CT’s methods as best as I can - In the end this is my favourite way to train - I’m not a bodybuilder, powerlifter etc. I look up to many on this site greatly and they inspire me to go out and push myself harder than before.
I lift weights and enjoy doing it - it’s fun.
I’ve started a power/strength phase, this is how the first couple of days have looked:
All reps must be fast - nothing slow

Had an accident training today -
While doing box jumps (not onto a box, but a foundation wall) I had a bad jump and smashed my shin into the corner of the wall.
9 stitches (3 soft tissue) later…yay! 
Pics to follow.
