That's some complicated training for you there Nik, all percentages and timing, glad you got some work in without niggling that shoulder anymore.

The double unders/kte's looks quick!

Thanks Scott, it isn't my planning, But it looks like a good change with strenth focus.

The truth of late is there is so much going on in my life I'm burning out on all areas. It seem like if it can go wrong or be stressful, well... it is. From work to home to the workout.

Looks like I got the home stuff worked out. I got a truck, and 07 dodge 1500, nice truck, Just have to be watchfull and cover the payments. It is the FIRST time I have had payments on a car other then Cathys car.

Work is work, just has its owne stresses.

The workout. Well Here we go. The truth is I am a bit burned out. I don't really know what is going on with me, I figure it is stress. That and the move to the new location, after that things got tough.

The thing is it got to the point where I wouldn't check the workout the night befor, I would check it the morning of because I didn't want to see it. Then it was always about getting my head right to do it, not to be negitive.

Then my metcon seems better so there are gains there, but all my heavy lifting has taken a dive. I did the lumber jack20 last year at RX'd weight, I had to do jumprope for the runs because I had Martin with me. I didn't post a time for whatever reason, but this year it was all scaled on the weights. There is something wrong there. I know it.

Diet is good. Sleep is about as good as it gets for me. In bed befor 10:00 pm up at 6 or 7, but broken sleep as always.

So I have moved to a different workout for a wile to keep at it and try not to stop working out, but get a bit of a break from the big metcons.

The plan it from Whole9. Looks like richard looked into it a bit years ago.

The focus on strenth will be press and deadlift, with shorter faster metcons. I hope this is the breather I need to get it back.

Shoulder blade is still sore, I am still putting ice on it when I can and on he heat pad, it is time off he shoulder that will fix it.

Sorry to hear about all the stress nik! Just keep your head up, stay positive and everything will work it's way. Good things happen to good people so don't let all the bumps on the road slow you down!!

Re: Nik
 
Exactly what Ernie said, I reckon the change will do you some good, doesn't hurt changing now and again and when you feel ready to come back to main page I reckon you will be a lot stronger.

Thanks man! You guys don't know how hard it is to admitt all that. I will do just that and keep my head up, heep hitting back and take each monent and a challenge to win. I haven't given up or rolled over, it is just a change to regroup. if I don't like it I'll come back to the main page.

I love the mainpage. Brady and I talk about it all the time. It has gotten me to this point in my life. I am in better shape then I have been in years, maybe in my life. So I can't say anything bad about the main page at all.

It was and still is a tough to change from the main page, I feel like I'm cheating. But the change will be fine for now. I will be keeping up on the goats and some extras that I feel I need, but refocusing on strenth in the press and deads and like I said shorter metcons for a wile.

Thanks guys for the support and backing me up, it means alot.
