01 Sep Danny Vega – Triple Six Week 8 Training

I just spent the last 3 months perfecting the 10/20/Powerbuilding template with Tucker Loken, and we nailed it. The ebook should be out by the fall under the guidance of our fearless leader, Brian Carroll. My newest goal is to complete the 666 challenge under the coaching of teammate Tony Cowden. This is by far the coolest goal I’ve set for myself and I hope to join the ranks of the few who have completed this challenge.

Another week in the books. It started off with some insane running volume on Monday, which I’m happy to say I got done and my times were mostly good. I had to come train on Tuesday instead of Wednesday because of work, which killed my running times but it had to be done. Overall a great week and I really am loving the whole process. It’s different from what I’m used to, and it’s awesome to not have to worry about my own programming.

Monday Squat
Squat 55×10, 145×6, 235×5, 325×3, 395×1, 6×2@455

Squats 6×2@455. I did these two sets at a time with 90 sec rest and then a longer rest while my partner did two sets. 2nd, 4th and 6th set shown. As you can see it takes me a while to warm up. #1020life #tentwentylife #powerrackstrength #teampowerrackstrength #teamPRS #jackedandbeautiful #ketocounterculture #lchf #keto #poweredbyketones #powerlifting #squat #benchpress #deadlift #inzer #inzeradvancedesigns #captainjacked #powerhousegym #tampa #1020powerbuilding #666challenge #compedge #endstrength #hybrid #hybridtraining @tony_cowden @jasonpegg @brandoncrabill @briancarroll81

Would you believe me if I told you I had to run a mile after all of this? #1020life #tentwentylife #powerrackstrength #teampowerrackstrength #teamPRS #jackedandbeautiful #ketocounterculture #lchf #keto #poweredbyketones #powerlifting #squat #benchpress #deadlift #inzer #inzeradvancedesigns #captainjacked #powerhousegym #tampa #1020powerbuilding #666challenge #compedge #endstrength #hybrid #hybridtraining #elitist

Note to self: bring extra electrolytes on days like today. I wasn't even tired on the mile but I was fighting quad cramps on both legs about 800 meters in. #1020life #tentwentylife #powerrackstrength #teampowerrackstrength #teamPRS #jackedandbeautiful #ketocounterculture #lchf #keto #poweredbyketones #powerlifting #squat #benchpress #deadlift #inzer #inzeradvancedesigns #captainjacked #powerhousegym #tampa #1020powerbuilding #666challenge #compedge #endstrength #hybrid #hybridtraining #elitist

Running stuff. Was slow and not recovered from Monday’s running stuff. But got it done.

They can't all be PR days. Still feeling it from yesterday's runs. Was supposed to do this tomorrow but I have 3 cases at work in the AM. No matter, I got the work done and I'll live to fight another day.

Tomorrow morning I’ll do some recovery bike on my airdyne before I have to work another conference over the weekend. Then it’s DELOAD time because we’re not retards and we take care of ourselves. I guess I’m not hardcore.
