Welcome to the Pat M 30-day 3 days/week challenge. The challenge: Only train 3 days a week for the next 30 days. Can you do it for a whole 30 days? Do you have the mental toughness to ignore your addiction to endorphins and cortisol enduced ecstasy?
Give it a shot for 30 days and learn that when you train 3 days a week, you have 3 great workouts a week. Remember, "they", the experts on so-called conditioning for the working man, need you to believe that 5 days a week minimum is what it takes, because it is in their financial best interest for you to train 5days a week and pay them for 5 days a week.
Rules: Only train (run, lift, swing, push, pull) 3 times a week. Do whatever you want..Max Effort Black Box, pick a month from the early years of CrossFit dot com and do that, do your own thing, scale that gym membership to 3 days, only train 3 days a week, it does not matter. On these 3 days, train hard, train toward a goal and then go home.
I will allow and encourage a few extra mobility only session on the other days. Try K-star's mobility WOD, maybe do a yoga DVD, Catalyst Athletics’ Warm Up, Pavel has some great stuff out there. I will include taking a PVC pipe, nothing heavier and practicing; note that word, the Olympic lifts with a PVC pipe only.
"Remember, 3 days a week is optimal, but if one must, 2 days is better than 4 and 1 day is better than 5"-Old Weightlifters Proverb
