CFH Training Plan 22/06/2015 – 28/06/2015

Posted 21st June 2015 by Josh Schouten

Week 13 of 16 Juggernaut

COACHES COMMENT: 

All of you should be proud of your Juggernaut accomplishments over the last 12 weeks. You worked for them. We now enter the heaviest phase of the 16-week program, the 3’s wave.  Now is the time to start believing in yourself and your ability to take your strength to the next level. Now is not the time to doubt the numbers, If you believe you can, and you take the leap of faith you just may surprise yourself.  So it’s up to you to take it upon yourself to install the belief that you are a force to be reckoned with! Only you can be the one to take the next giant step and achieve your personal best results.

All of us need to remember that the journey we are on is in fact a marathon, and not a sprint.  Over the last 12 weeks we have followed the percentages and worked our little butts off to slowly increase the weights on the bat.  Many of us have already set new personal records, and some of us are about to.  Remember that solid strength takes years to build, often decades at a time to climb up one rung on the ladder. Now is the time to unleash the incredible hulk inside and give it your best shot. It is imperative that you find a way to stay positive and reflect on the improvements you have already made.  Some of us will have already reached our peak strength at this point in the journey, and this is nothing to be disappointed by.   It simply means that now is the time to reload and start a new phase of training.  You will not loose the strength you have gained over the last 3 months; this will simply become a new base to build from.

“Never stop just because you feel defeated. The journey to the other side is attainable only after great suffering.” ― Santosh Kalwar

RECOMMENDED WEEKLY READING:

Examine: I get by with a little help from my friends: probiotics and depression – For thousands of years, clinicians have observed a connection between the gut, brain, and overall health. Hippocrates is famously quoted as saying “all disease begins in the gut.” “Cognitive reactivity appears to be a cause of, rather than simply an association with, depression, since higher cognitive reactivity scores precede and predict the onset of depression, even in people with no prior incidence of depression.”

JTS-strength: Patience and Belief – The only person I need to measure up to each day, and get better than, is the competition I see in the mirror.  That guy needs to be better today, than he was yesterday.  And tomorrow, he needs to be a little bit better than he was today.  It takes years to build strength, the sooner we stop comparing ourselves to others the easier the journey will be.  Watch, record and embrace your individual improvements no matter how small.

If I do not understand the process behind reaching my goals I will not come to an understanding of patience.  I may whine and cry about how long it’s taking, or I may believe that I am in fact doing enough, and that my efforts feel as though they are in vain.

Cal Newport: What the Study of Chess Experts Teaches Us about Building a Remarkable Life – When we look at any kind of cognitively complex field — for example, playing chess, writing fiction or being a neurosurgeon — we find that you are unlikely to master it unless you have practiced for 10,000 hours. That’s 20 hours a week for 10 years.  It all come down to “deliberate practice”

GMB: Body Control Fundamentals – What They are and 3 Tactics To Improve Them – “Motor Moron,” “klutzy,” “clumsy,” “two left feet” – the endless stream of terms for people like this just demonstrates how widespread this phenomenon is. Motor Control involves the interaction of the sensations within the body and outside of it, and our initiation and continuation of a movement based on the feedback we get from these sensations. There’s a world of research and science exploring the details and specifics of what’s happening when we learn and perform physical activities.
