All three new PR's. Feeling pretty good about that.
While I feel like things are progressing good, I wonder about changing things up to a more conjugated, general approach until I need to start doing more focused work to get past plateaus. Until I reach the basic standards, why do I need to do a cyclical approach. On the one hand I see that Louie Simmons of Westside Barbell Club uses a conjugated, wave method for all of his athletes (or so it is as I understand it), and he clearly sees great success with it. On the other side, the arguement is that it just isn't as effective as maxing out general training methods until they no longer work, then moving to a cyclical approach. I can't remember where I read it, but I think it was Tabachnic or Yessis who said that conjugated programming was not as effective as a linier approach for novices, which apparently I am given my performances. Given this I could argue that Simmons doesn't see too many novices, as he's made a point to let everyone know that it's a waste of his time to train someone who is a novice. Maybe I should just go get a Westside Barbell Cert? Add that to the list of growing certs to get.
Up tomorrow; Fran and some more MV02 running...hills this time. Feet still hurt a little from that last one. It's gotta be the shoes.
