Ankle is getting better every day, thanks for asking! ROM is like 90-95% of the way there. Mobilizing, icing, and being cautiously confident about movements are all helping.

So many goals! Where to start?! To be at 100%. Injury and nagging pain free. Get much better at gymnastics and bodyweight movements, and waaaay better at endurance, specifically running. All of the above will be helped by getting lighter and leaner. I’d like to keep a consistent nutrition and mobility plan as well. Hopefully I’ll be able to FINALLY break 2 hours in a 1/2 marathon and possibly do a sprint triathlon this year! What do you think? Too much?

They don’t bother it per say, but strict would be a lot of strain on them. I ready to chuck the band for kipping. I printed the hollow/rock article the other to work on my form. Hopefully that will kick me over the hump. After 4 months I went from purple to this point, so I feel good with that.

Great job, Andy! Don’t get overzealous with the MWOD…evidently one of our followers injured himself with aggressive foam rolling! Mobility is a great addition and I love K-Star!

Nah, I got bit by the bug after watching Jon North vids. Joined up with mashelite online team for about 9mo. re-occuring back injury and new baby on the way has got me more focused on staying healthy instead of max performance. I loved power cleans in high school back in the 80’s and was one of the strongest even though I was skinny. All the Coaches said “oly” lifting was dangerous so I never persued it. On to the next episode.

m32/ 178cm (5’10)/76kg Bergen, Norway Hello! This is my first post here, so I think its apropriate with an introduction: I’m not completely new to this program. I tested it last year, but found that doing it 6 days a week was to rough for my body. Until now my main goal was performing well in OPEN. I still want to do well in the contest, but I also want to be able to express my fitness in other areas. This involves skateboarding, skiing and running. Are there any recomended schedule for training and rest days? Back squat (1RM=125kg) 5*70kg… Read more »

Michele or one of the others may be able to give better advice but, my schedule is..
Mon-Tue: Invictus
Wed: active recovery
Thu-Fri: Invictus
Sat: active recovery
Sun: off day
That seems to work well for me but, everyone’s different with their needs.

Welcome back, Ola! I don’t think you necessarily need to set training days each week, especially if you work in a gym and have regular access to equipment. What I recommend is that you listen to your body! I usually plan to go Sun-W pretty hard then do an active recovery or easy day on Thursday, train hard Friday and take Saturday off because that’s what works best with my schedule but I’m not dead set on that either. If I find that I need to rest earlier in the week, I do and then don’t feel bad about it.… Read more »

Can’t wait for testing day! Make a mental note about the wall ball and KB so you remember to go heavier next time. Congrats on being stronger than you thought!
