Training: Week 2
As I thought, week 2 was a lot more intense than the first. The track workouts picked up in length, but the weight room workouts are now a “beast.” I have to go in there six days a week. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday are dedicated for heavy weight lifting and Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday are for “body building.” Body building is made up of twelve exercises that you do in a sequence. After you do those twelve exercises, you have a couple minutes of rest and then you go at it again. By the end of the second set, you’re almost dead. The third and final set is tough, but that set is where champions are made. I’ll be a champion real soon LOL.
Oddly enough, it was cold and raining last week. I thought it was always sunny in San Diego, but there are days when it’s not warm outside. Actually, it’s been raining for the past few days. I had to turn on my heat last night. You definitely don’t turn that on much out here.
Surprisingly, it’s almost time to start competing. A couple more weeks and the outdoor season will start. I need a little more time for training and then I’ll be ready to get the ball rolling. It should be an exciting year competition wise.
As always, I’ll keep you posted. I need to try and find something to eat before I have to go to the weight room. Until the next time…

I’m very interested in your training and am a big fan of Dan. What protocol are you using for the bodybuilding days, 10 reps each exercise, 30 sec. rest? Also what exercises have you chosen?
Best of luck with you training and upcoming season!
