Autoregulating with Biofeedback

August 31, 2015 by theorytopractice Leave a Comment

“True happiness is … to enjoy the present, without anxious dependence upon the future.” – Seneca This workout offered a great example of how I use a particular tool (in this case, the ARXFit biofeedback readout) to autoregulate the entirety of a session.  Here’s what went down: A1) overhead push press: w/u to 145/5 A2)… [More…]

The Past Weekend’s Workout Happenings

May 17, 2010 by theorytopractice 7 Comments

Saturday, 5/15/10 So the local farmers’ market is located about a hard 15-minute fixie burst from my house.  Soon after rolling out of bed on Saturday, splashing some water on my face and, after savoring a few cups of joe, I saddled-up and headed out for some provisions.  15-minutes later and without a hitch, I’m… [More…]

The Fixie Allure and, A Weekend’s Worth of HIIT

April 19, 2010 by theorytopractice 11 Comments

“Whoso would be a man must be a nonconformist” – Ralph Waldo Emerson If you’ve hung around the ol’ TTP blog for long, you’ve inevitably heard me drone-on (and on and on…) about my beloved fixie.  What’s the allure, you ask — I mean, Chrissakes, it’s just a friggin’ bicycle, right? Au contraire, my good… [More…]

3/4/10 The Ins and Outs of an On-the-Fly Workout, and An Additional Thought on the Sous-Vide Method

March 4, 2010 by theorytopractice 8 Comments

Are you down with the Robb Wolf and Any Deas Paleolithic Solution Podcasts over at Robb Wolf’s blog?  If not, you really should be, as they’re a great source of Paleo diet information.  Robb is a trained biochemist who was somehow able to shed the prescribed university brainwashing, put two-and two together, and come to… [More…]

2/14/10, Power Snatch & Reverse Grip Pull-Up Combo

February 14, 2010 by theorytopractice 7 Comments

Good stuff recently (hey, it’s “recently” for me — I’m still getting back on track 🙂  ) from Matt Metzgar and Marc VanDam (of Feel Good Eating), on the beneficial aspects of randomness in one’s overall workout scheme.  Their thoughts on the matter, I believe, are spot-on.  There’s certainly no harm, of course, in concentrating… [More…]

1/25/10, An Abbreviated Push-Press Wave

January 25, 2010 by theorytopractice 2 Comments

First off, note the big decrease in volume today.  This is by design, due to the way my week looks to be shaping up.  As always, my modus operandi is to plan ahead as best as possible, with the information I have available at the moment – then shrug and continue on in a new… [More…]

1/20/10, Power-Endurance Emphasis

January 20, 2010 by theorytopractice Leave a Comment

This is the workout equivalent to last night’s crock-pot bison roast.  Nuthin’ fancy here, just a “put-up or shut-up” kind of a deal.  Not much in the way of equipment or space requirements, either; one relatively heavy dumbbell and a pull-up bar.  Some chalk and straps for the later rounds.  Booya! As the Zen Master… [More…]

1/14/10, Strength-Endurance Emphasis

January 14, 2010 by theorytopractice Leave a Comment

Today’s was another workout that might better be described more in terms of power-endurance.  Now these small distinctions – although they make for some great armchair discussion (and I’m all for that, too) – amount to nil in the real world.  Going in, I made an educated guess (according to how I felt, how the… [More…]
