Well, the strike continues or maybe not, but I've decided to move on. As a new faculty, I'm not on strike because I am in a weird gray zone, and the president of the union advised us all not to go on strike. I'm also not picketing but have brought various sustenance to the picketers. They're colleagues. I've never been in a situation where I was on the opposite side from management. It's a stressful line to tread, hence the last post.
I responded to comments on that post. I really appreciate the support.
We've been doing a lot of workouts, and I have not been reporting on them too well. Here's where we stand. Right now, we are concluding a muscle definition phase after having started our metabolic diets. We did the muscle definition phase to figure out how it worked before Nancy got hot on her competition. We're doing one tomorrow, so I'll write up what it is like then.
Next week, we may begin a three week max strength period. When we have done max strength in the past, the one thing I have remarked is the level of mental concentration it takes. I wonder if now is the time to do it.
Diane, a reader who commented on the last post, notes that she has done some figure competitions and is interested in following Nancy's progress in her preparation for the next bodybuilding competition (here and here). Diane, I highly recommend looking at Serious Strength Training. For female bodybuilders, they focus a lot on max strength and muscle definition. We will do more hypertrophy than they recommend, probably all of October, November, and December. In our most recent podcast, Nancy and I discuss some of her training goals.
