I started F1 earlier this year, and then added H1. Had a pretty good run of of it for a few mini-cycles. then work got busy towards the end of the summer, and my stress load went through the roof, my recovery dipped, so I temporarily cut back my training to bare minimum maintenance mode. work has now calmed down a bit and I have finally been getting back to training regularly.
as I am getting ramped up on my next training block, i had several key moments of realizing that I had made the rookie mistake of jumping ahead with out fully mastering the basics. so as i jump back in, I have set about retesting every PE & iM from level one, and confirmed for myself that I indeed have more work to do on some of the movements to truly achieve mastery.
so my new level/work plan is:
FL PE2/iM 2 Week 5
sPl PE2/iM 2 Week 5
HBP PE2/iM Week 9
RC PE1/iM1 Week 9 ( irealized when i tested the fist time, I perfomed incorrrectly with my butt on the ground, after reading the forum discussion, realized hips should off the ground, and when i retested I failed on the 4th set!)
MN PE1/iM1 Week5
SL PE1/iM Week 1 (arch body hold is my kryptonite!)
SLS PE1/imM 1 Deck Squat Week 5 (even though i can have a few pistols, i cant perfom all the iM in the series, and a few week back twisted my knee a bit, so i am going back to the beginning and rebuilding)
I am starting off slow and holding off on adding the H1 until my next mini-cycle so as to not bite off more than i can chew. my biggest challenge is long-term focus and consistency, so I am making that my top priority.
and big props to the GB team for the recent promo and marketing work, the FB page looks great! I have regularly been sharing posts to my friends and clients.
good luck with it all. Keep us posted!
