Week 1 Thoughts and Comments

So I just completed week one of Adam's training program. Here are just a couple of thoughts and comments around how its going so far. Note that this one intended for Adam specifically.

• The movements that you prescribed this week are good. I haven't done some of them in a long time, like the sumo deadlift and jerks. In fact, I have never done double cleans before. So, all in all, I am very pleased with the direction the training is going.
• I developed a blister just below one of my calluses on my right hand that has been making training a little touchy...I am working through it, but have to keep tabs on it. The most irritating thing is that the wrapping I put over it to protect it keeps getting pulled off so I am constantly reapplying it.
• I go on vacation in a week and will be missing my normal training program. I am planning on taking one bell with me - probably my 28k. Adam - if you could create a plan for that week, I would certainly appreciate it...I don't want to loose any training momentum on the trip. I leave the morning of 6/13 (Saturday).

I must go for now - it is nice outside and I have some house maintenance work to complete today...and at the same time, work on getting rid of my farmer's tan.
