Hey everyone! I stumbled upon TB when my wife shared a reddit link with me that was all about tried and true workout programs. I picked TB due to what the overall goal is to be fit, conditioned, and strong. For the last seven years I have done mostly bodybuilding type workouts (hypertrophy) and a lot of HIIT training. In the last year or so I have plateaued significantly my BB stopped at 315lb, SQ at 425lb, and DL at 485 at age 25. I was giving up a lot of cardio and other conditioning exercises to reach those maximums. This resulted in me being the heaviest I have ever been 210lb (5ft 10in height). I can barely now do a mile run under 9 min, when seven years a go I could do 2 miles in 12 min.
I recently suffered from a neck injury while lifting which has put me into recovery for almost a month now. Having not worked out in a month and really thinking about what I want from the gym and what works more with my hobbies (hunting, fishing, backpacking/hiking). I felt TB was perfect it fits perfectly with my hobbies which may result in carrying down a elk, deer, any other big game animal down the mountain or wading in the mud of duck marshes with decoys and a gun on my back. These activities require you to be strong, but not just strong, but be conditioned.
I will be beginning with the BLOCK 1 - BASE BUILDING STANDARD on Monday 7/23
WEEK 1
1 - BODYWEIGHT CLUSTER 3X20
2 - LSS (RUN) X 30M
3 - LSS (CYCLE) X 30M
4 - BARBELL CLUSTER 2X20
5 - RECOVERY (STRETCH or SHOOT)
6 - RUCK (20LB) STAIRMASTER X 40-60M
7 - REST (SHOOT)
With being on the mend I felt starting with the conditioning before going in to OPERATOR + BLACK would be better for me in the long run. I do have a upcoming Deer and Elk bow hunt which starts in August. I know that I'll only be in the BLOCK for about three-four weeks, but regardless I think I feel well enough and recovered enough to start this Monday.
I will try to update daily if I can. If not I will update the log on my REST day.
