Mike seems like a great guy. I've had contact with him several times and he is always more than willing to help and share articles.

A good friend of mine has assisted him in a workshop and highly recommended this course. I'm pretty excited.

So I'm guessing here, but, 2 more weeks of this and I should be able to shift programming to weight increases?

I would think so. Looks brutal and you appear to be in very good shape.

It's not too bad. I've backed off on the Zone times and I'm doing my best to not get competitive. I think if I'm patient it will be manageable. Once my wrist/thumb heals I'll be able to train the Olympic lifts. Then I can train mostly eccentricless 2-3 days a week.

Anywho, so my legs have been pretty sore since last Friday. I had to read that article again and remember Broz is older than me.

On my 6th rep on squats yesterday when I dropped in the hole I experienced an incredible surge in my legs, hit bottom and got a great bounce. I was instantly standing up. No other reps like that just fast, solid triples.

This morning I wake up and my legs feel like I haven't done a thing all week? Walking to the bathroom this morning I was shocked?

Anyone else ever have DOMS just disappear?

That's pretty normal for me as well. This was different.

Not too brutal.

I do, but only now that I am older. My leg and chest DOMS tend to be strong one day and gone the next.

10min. warm up - swings 24kg x 30/30
10min.
Snatches - 24kg x L60/ R60
Just barely made the last 10 with my right hand. I think I need to eat more on my rest day?

The way you work out, I'd be eating all day long! Goodness. I'd say if you think you need to eat, chow down!

I've had aches and pains disappear from time to time. SOmetimes, I get up and think there's no way I can workout that day, but then things loosen up and by afternoon, I'm fine. But not sure if that is what you mean, though. DOMS might be different for different people.

Keep rolling, buddy. Nice workouts.
