Leg Emphasis 1. High-bar Squats (5,4,3,2,1,AMRAP,50%), leg press (quad emphasis, pyramid up), lying leg curls (350 method), seated DB press, incline DB curl, prowler push, bike.
.
Video of tempo DB press. This is why each day is “emphasis”, because a little bit of other stuff happens each day - achieve volume over the week. Something taken from Dr. Mike Israetel at Renaissance Periodization.
.
Week 3 starts well. Work capacity increasing. More work being done: more weight, more reps, more sets. Slow increase. Huzzah.
.
Weight loss is slow tho. Something is happening, and I should be patient, but admittedly not seeing the loss at the desired rate is getting frustrating. Going to stay the course tho, as I know this isn’t linear. Got something in mind for this coming weekend that I hope gives it a kick.

Spent my weekend training with Hock Hochheim, taking his hand, stick, knife, gun seminar.
.
Hock is outside my usual circle of instructors/trainers, and that’s part of why I wanted to do this: it’s good to ensure you don’t exist in an echo chamber. It was interesting to see most all his teaching, experience, and philosophy was quite congruent. But that stands to reason: when you look at facts and reality, you’re likely to end up in the same place. And I always appreciate hearing new twists on the same topics: gives a different perspective, a new insight, a better way to present to others.
.
Hock’s an old school guy, but he’s not out of the loop of current goings on. His approaches are logical, adaptable, not dogmatic (tho he does hold strong opinions). He’s a man of great energy and enthusiasm. He’s also a fantastic storyteller: I’d love to sit around one night, share some whiskey, and just listen to more stories. A very fun and laughter-filled weekend.
.
I’d take another class with him for sure, perhaps one taking a less-broad-more-deep-dive into a couple topics.
.
Thanx for the weekend, Hock.
