Finally getting back to normal. Came down with a cold after setting the clocks back so I spent more time off the bike. Rode and ran this morning for the first time in a week and a half and felt really good. I decided to start doing some legwork in the power rack as well.
My friend and coworker, Jim Regan, turned me onto powerlifting in the "tradition" of Westside Barbell. Serious cyclists that train with power meters will discount this as meaningless, pointless, and largely counter-productive, but I'm keeping these techniques in my arsenal. I've become a big fan of box squatting. I'm not going to describe the technique here, if you want to know more, follow the link and read Louie Simmon's articles. Anyway, it felt good to load up the bar and crank out a few sets. I need to pick up a rackable cambered bar for my home set up.
