Finally felt like I could get a "normal" training session in - didn't have to worry about athletes coming in in the middle of it, I actually felt decent coming off being sick, just a decent day overall.
Military Press - 120x13
A. DB flyes - 60s 1st set, 50s last 4 - 5x10
B. T-bar row - 100 on bar - 5x12
A. Band pushdowns - gray - 5x10
B. Fat bar curls - 60 - 5x10
Like I said, a decent session. Nothing special, but decent enough.
The frustrating thing is, as I continue to try to learn and assimilate as much as I can, that it seems the more I learn and do in my own training, the answer to the best way to train/program is simply "train hard." At least until you get to a pretty high level. What you find is that a lot of different things work. And hell, even at the highest levels you'll find drastically different methods of attaining world-class performances. Steven Francis' methods are dramatically different from those used by Dan Pfaff and Charlie Francis. Certainly facilities, weather, culture, and more will dictate the specifics, but you would think physiology would be the final arbiter.
I say it's frustrating because it seems like there has to be a better way. Note that I'm not talking about shortcuts - hard work will always be a part of the equation - merely that there must be a way of organizing things such that your hard work will garner the optimal results. I'm sure there is, I just haven't found it. Ugh.
