Escape Velocity Week 9, Holy Hypertrophy, and Losing by Winning

What better way to end a GPP program than a grinding grimy 60-min endurance circuit! This was the last week of NonProphets’s Escape Velocity Program and it was the perfect capstone; heavy pumps, playful grappling, confronting intensity, and an endurance slog.

Summary:

Friday’s FYF was the most pointed session of the week. I was disappointed with my self. By the clock and barbell, my “score” wasn’t bad, but I felt like I was stuck in second gear — literally.
I don’t think I left anything on the table, but having rested 10 minutes or so, I could have repeated the effort. The difficult confrontation was again that I need more endurance / O2 mobilization work. The machine segments were just long enough that I couldn’t really put the pedal down without gassing out.
Saturday was a rejuvenating “play” session. Initially I wanted to drill the entire day, but threw in a couple (literally 2) hard rounds, and spent a lot of time exploring new movements, throwing things against the wall, and re-hashing / re-fining old ideas.
A full review of the Escape Velocity program will be coming out later this month.
