    Metabolic Triad Training, 2024: Cycle I

    Assessment of Last Cycle. Last cycle was ok, I dropped off the easy strength routine and started doing higher reps towards the end of the cycle. Overall the easy strength plan was making me feel run down. I was just shooting for consistency and had a lot of personal things going on. Goals for...

    Metabolic Triad Training, 2023: Cycle VI

    Yep I will work on keeping my log updated more often. Had some life events pop up I will pm you about. I noticed that your consistency has been great. That is fantastic. I am glad you found the right scheduling for now. Like you I am working on getting some conditioning work in there too. I...

    Metabolic Triad Training, 2023: Cycle VI

    Been away for too long, I am going to jump back in here and then get on board for the 4 week mini cycle. I have been doing the easy strength routine after battling back injuries. I think the frequency and lighter weights are helping. And skipping deadlifts. Still working on the achilles-bone...

    Metabolic Triad Training, 2023: Cycle V

    Assessment of last cycle. Pretty good cycle, I finished off the 12 week plan and the last couple of weeks did get very heavy and I had to drop some 2 reps to 2 rep sets. Started biking again and it has been very helpful to let the achilles/heel issues heal. I also started a diet plan the last...

    Metabolic Triad Training, 2023: Cycle IV

    Already at the end of the cycle again. This year is flying by. I am working on a change in plans for the next cycle. I am thinking about adding a conditioning element and some more hypertrophy work. So maybe a single strength lift then 3-4 sets of higher rep assistance work. The biking is going...

    Metabolic Triad Training, 2023: Cycle IV

    Assessment of last cycle. Not a bad cycle last one, consistency in the gym was good. It was a very rainy month so the walks were somewhat limited. Goals for this cycle. Keep following the plan below. This one should end exactly with the cycle. The last week I will do a test week and max out on...

    Metabolic Triad Training, 2023: Cycle III

    Assessment of last cycle - last cycle went well, towards the end of the cycle I did start dropping down to 1 rep for the 95% days. Last week I was feeling very worn down so I ended the 7 week cycle early and took a easy week in week 2. No weight loss happened in the cycle, well I didn't actually...

    Metabolic Triad Training, 2023: Cycle II

    I am hoping it will do that too. I need to run it a cycle. Funny how deep squats can really feel good, I think for mobility purposes deep squats are fundamental. I also read this to figure out how to get my squat strength up. There are some good points made here. I do think I have weak glutes...

    Metabolic Triad Training, 2023: Cycle II

    Yes correct, I changed it to PC from POC. Honestly the only benefit for the push press is it helps me get heavier weight overhead, my sticking point is at my forehead this way I can get that area a bit more work. It also helps with speed. I would definitely still do both and if I had to choose...

    Metabolic Triad Training, 2023: Cycle II

    Goals for the Cycle: Get stronger and lose weight of course. I went for a short run and the next day there was again pretty acute soreness in both ankles again. It's time with summer coming to really get the weight down. So that will be my focus. I think I will force myself to start counting...

    Metabolic Triad Training, 2023: Cycle I

    You could also superset the uppers, you are doing Press, bench, rows and a pull down right? I like your timer idea, I have been sitting down and using the clock on the wall, usually I take 2 minutes rest between work sets. It seems like a good compromise of resting but not getting bored. The...
