Week 1 Speed Work/10-9 To 10-14

Hello,

So these past two days I haven't felt was my best performance. My lower speed work was good up to the DL, which I felt I could pull faster also I have not been recovering as well despite taking longer rest periods out of the gym. Then come Monday and Upper Speed Work I only got a few good sets on the bench. Also this Monday went in pretty beat up and out of it. Also feeling a little fatter as I changed my diet and added creatine, we will ride it out for a few weeks and decide from there.

Hello,

I am back to post my weekly workouts that were done. This week was fun as I have taken on the full investment of a strength athlete, since I found a program I truly enjoy. The program I will be following is Brandon Lilly's Cube Method. Tho a rather new method it has a good amount of science and I feel it will work well with strongman.
