Update - Week 7

We are starting the seventh week of training. This year is all about the right mixture of training and being consistant. In the six training sessions during the week, we are incorporating speed endurance, hills or stadiums, sled pulls, weights, physio ball and med ball, core, gymnastics, power plate and one vault session with some speed work afterwards. With all the workouts available, finding the right mixture for me has taken years and changes each year as circumstances change. This year we are seeing good benefits without being banged up. Also, the consistancy in every workout shows during vault sessions, which is what matters in the end.

The last couple of vault sessions have been from 6 steps. Grip has continued to increase. So far, I have jumped on a 15 ft pole with a 18.9 flex and holding 13.10 ft. This week we plan to continue with 6 steps and finish with a couple from 8 to keep progression moving with the right poles and grip.

Outside of training, things have been quiet around here. Everyone seems to be fighting off illness and watching a lot of football on the weekends. October looks to be a little more exciting with bow season starting and a surf trip planned for the middle of the month.
