I was really going to pull something together today, but it just didn’t happen.  Damn ear infection!

Anyway, here we go with today’s random thoughts:

–  One thinking I’ve been working really hard on lately is refining my approach to single-leg exercises.  I don’t think they’re the be-all, end-all of training, but I think we need a rational progression when using them.  Stay tuned on this front.

– I just finished my second week of 5/3/1, and I’m really enjoying it.  To clarify, I’ve finished my second CALENDAR week, not my second TRAINING week.  I’m doing three workouts per week, so I still have triples on military and squats to look forward to.

– Oh my god, anything over singles for the deadlift kicks my ass.  Can you say no work capacity?  Damn you Jim Wendler!!!!

I have a lot of thoughts on this as well.  Again, stay tuned.

– Friday, as usual, is program writing day.  Luckily, I didn’t have a ridiculous amount today, which is why you’re getting this blog (albeit a little later than usual!)

– Two words: Usain Bolt.

– What percentage of runners do YOU think gets injured every year?  I did some research on this topic after yesterday’s blog post, and I was more than a little shocked.  Post any ideas below in the “Comments” section.

I’ve got a nice line-up of posts for next week, so I’ll leave it at that.  Have a great weekend!

Stay strong
