CFH Training Days 06/10/2014 – 12/10/2014

Posted 5th October 2014 by Josh Schouten

Week 2/12

There are some serious DOMS after week 1 of the new cycle.  

“My quads are sore,” “my abs are in pieces,” “holly sh*t my hamstrings soreness is preventing me from sitting on the toilet.”  It’s a common scenario in strength training, when the programming switches focus there is always a short period of soreness as the body is exposed to a different stimulus. Suck it up, and prepare yourself for week 2.

Its great to seem everyone making attentions to the levels working towards “high quality” movement standards.  There was a very good article published on Breaking Muscle this week; 3-reasons-you-aren-t-getting-any-stronger
