Speed trap was a great read, and the drug-use aside, his approach to coaching was pretty impressive. <br /><br />Zig, Zag; Yes, you have been guilty of going too heavy on light days, Zig especially. But you both learn from your mistakes, which is more important than never making any.<br /><br />See you in the morning,<br /><br />LeeHarryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13756754459167063173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8652139677737525281.post-26536176184382147782010-02-17T11:09:24.016+00:002010-02-17T11:09:24.016+00:00Thanks for the kind comments lads.

I woul...Really enjoyed your article Mr. Woodhouse,<br /><br />I would have to agree with the Birdman too, I find that myself and Baz have sometimes been to eager on light days. We tend to go heavier than we should and hence don't maximise the most out of our heavy days. It is something that has changed recently.<br /><br />Training camp in Woking helped me realise how important it is to plan out your intensity's for a weekly and monthly basis. Otherwise you wont hit the 95%+ days when your supposed too!!!<br /><br />It's equally important to stick to your light days. Not just go in and see how you feel for that particular day. This particular has been a big fault of mine. I have previously tried to match my light day to Barry's but the reality is that my lifts aren't as big as his so my light days must incorporate less load.<br /><br />Not sure if this all makes sense but I look forward to reading speed trap.<br /><br />I hear you have a new Irish lifter on your hands. He's a great bloke, I know he'll enjoy your training atmosphere!!!Zagnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8652139677737525281.post-30845818486613397692010-02-16T21:50:33.696+00:002010-02-16T21:50:33.696+00:00"Chuck Norris does not suffer from CNS fatigu..."Chuck Norris does not suffer from CNS fatigue......He tells his CNS to shut the F*** up and get on with it!!"Zagnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8652139677737525281.post-84395523270565319302010-02-16T21:24:44.554+00:002010-02-16T21:24:44.554+00:00An excellent article; very interesting insight and...An excellent article; very interesting insight and opinions, articulately expressed.

They go too heavy on the light days and, due to fatigue, not heavy enough on the other days! What results is a string of moderate workouts that achieve little."<br /><br />This is something I can relate to. My 2009, as well as being plagued by a knee injury, wasn't helped either by not including enough recovery days. What resulted was me being able to hit 90-95% most days, but because I was hitting such a high % every day I was too fatigued to deal with 97-100%+. As a result I didn't lift to my potential last year and this is something I am trying to focus on more by holding back a bit more on certain days.<br /><br />Hope your prep for English C'ships is going well.CathalByrdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03963370551514587293noreply@blogger.com
