I'm sure some of you have been reading Dennis Baker's "A Day in the Life" series. For those who haven't, it's a chance to see what this guy goes through.
I've never met Dennis, but I have heard stories. To read that he does sets of 300s fly is astounding. I know he's been doing that all his life, but to have the drive to do it alone is great.
I must say, though, that his entries almost sound a little like bragging.
That said, to go 8x100 SCM free on 1:10 and call it recovery is remarkable for anyone, much less a 45-year-old man.
Any other thoughts?
It would be difficult for him to post his workouts and not have it come across as bragging.
No, it wouldn't. Ande's posts don't come off as bragging.
Michael Phelps did an online journal of his prep for 2004 Olympics for two months and I never thought he was boasting about his insane sets. He could do 300s fly like Dennis but he always toned down the extreme nature of the set so no one felt like they could never be as good as him because they could never make sets like that.
I'm not accusing Dennis of bragging. His writing just gives me that impression.
