On Sunday afternoon I banged my arm on the fridge door, and managed to do so right in a spot that caused a lot of pain and tightness in my forearm. That meant modifying my Monday deadlift session. And the funny part is that I had forced myself to rest all day Sunday so that I would be fresh for the training session. http://turbulencetraining.blogspot.com/2019/06/daisy-parade-and-dad-cant-deadlift.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)31tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30790380.post-5378459870730716141Sat, 22 Jun 2019 10:30:00 +00002019-06-22T06:30:40.333-04:00 Daisy has been having a blast at the park, and walked over to her Aunt's for a nice night out on Wednesday. We're about to go to the park for her 1st &quot;workout&quot; of the day. She usually gets three trips to the park, and I get one trip to the gym. Earlier this week I did a bench press session at Bang Fitness, and yesterday it was a great squat session. 1a) Glute Ham http://turbulencetraining.blogspot.com/2019/06/daisy-does-toronto-and-i-do-squats.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30790380.post-402451235438620209Sat, 15 Jun 2019 18:50:00 +00002019-06-15T14:51:03.026-04:00 Daisy reached &quot;peak insanity&quot; on Friday. All she wanted to do was play, and so I was at the park 4 times. That's fun, but it's a bit of a hassle to get her there and back. Fortunately I discovered a stick trick. I just hold a stick in my hand and she follows me everywhere. No more pulling! I also grabbed two killer workouts to head into the weekend.

Her poopy issues have been sorted out, and while she still stinks from time to time, she is not making middle-of-the-night messes, thank goodness. That's allowed me to sleep better and get in a few good workout.

The good news is that Daisy seems to be back on track and also that today was deadlifting day. Hooray! 1a) Hang Clean 1b) Mobility 2a) Deadlift - decent! 2b) Prisoner Squat Jumphttp://turbulencetraining.blogspot.com/2019/06/daisy-diarrhea-and-deadlifting.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30790380.post-1838900449140596957Tue, 04 Jun 2019 15:39:00 +00002019-06-04T11:39:59.309-04:00 It's funny. Precious old Daisy is covered in blood, grass stains, and mud from playing so hard (just a little blood from another pups mouth). She's hardcore. Sprints and jumps, wrestles and tumbles. Tongue out. Teeth bared. Good pup. This week has been good for training.

Today she got her stitches out and she's back to &quot;normal&quot; and has been playing at the park and loving it. I'm grateful the dog bite she got 2 weeks ago was minor damage. Since last update I drove back to Toronto and crushed a great deadlift workout at Bang Fitness. 1a) Glute Ham Raisehttp://turbulencetraining.blogspot.com/2019/05/toronto-training-and-daisy-update.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30790380.post-4073540790294630985Mon, 20 May 2019 23:54:00 +00002019-05-20T19:54:25.265-04:00 On Sunday I read a great book, You Can't Hurt Me, by David Goggins. He's the Navy SEAL featured in Jesse Itzler's, Living with a SEAL. And Goggins will make you re-examine your life, your commitment, and your tolerance for pain. For better or worse.

Friday morning I took the early flight back to Toronto, landed, grabbed a green smoothie, and then picked up Daisy the Dog at my sisters. We took a big walk, had a bigger steak dinner, and then had an even bigger drive home to the farm. After a short sleep I got back up this morning to write some newsletters.

I'll be resting and recovering from workouts for a couple of days too, and focused on teaching.

Wednesday was an off-day/travel day, but today I got under the bar for a great squat workout. I gave myself exactly one hour to do my old-man warmup, heavy squats, high volume hamstrings, and end of workout mobility.

I left Daisy, my 4 month old yellow lab, for a week. I came back and she's so much taller, faster, and stronger. She's losing her puppy fat... it might be time to give her more peanut butter. Daisy spent the weekend playing at a kennel, and I'm wondering if she did nothing but sprints, squats, and push presses. 😉 While shehttp://turbulencetraining.blogspot.com/2019/05/miami-and-fast-growing-daisy-mae.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30790380.post-7162158031528947701Fri, 03 May 2019 12:04:00 +00002019-05-03T08:04:32.449-04:00My trip to Miami has been a blast.First up, a trip to Whole foods for protein bars, haha.Then on Wednesday morning it was a pushup workout in my hotel room because I forgot my workout shorts.Wednesday was an all day workshop.And then a big night...We visited #SaltBae at his Miami restaurant and we got a picture with him and had a delicious meal... get the Meat Sushi! I&#39;ve now visited 2 of hishttp://turbulencetraining.blogspot.com/2019/05/miami-workouts-and-steak.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Anonymous)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30790380.post-5047056974123062087Sun, 28 Apr 2019 17:24:00 +00002019-04-28T13:24:56.139-04:00 This was a HUGE weekend for the Ballantyne family, including Daisy the Dog. My sister got married. It was a small but beautiful ceremony and a wonderful, but low-key reception after (there's a YUGE party planned for late May). Daisy the Dog was the flower girl (in theory), although only at home. She did not attend the wedding, lol.

Yesterday she did her biggest walk EVER in her life, then ran some 10am &quot;across the lawn&quot; sprints, and finished the day with a 7pm &quot;bigger dog wrestling&quot; session. That left her sooooooo tired. Which is exactly what you want from a puppy dog. She slept well. So did I.

She's almost 100% in making it outside to pee, and we're learning some important commands, like &quot;Leave It&quot; so that she doesn't eat chicken bones off the ground.

We taught her an emergency word to use if she runs away. The secret phrase is &quot;CHOP!&quot;.
