TODAY’S TRAINING INSPIRATION:
PEYTON MANNING
Today’s Colin Timberlake Training Inspiration is a man who, like previous training inspiration Brett Favre, is one of the greatest quarterbacks and greatest ironmen the NFL has ever seen.
Since his NFL debut in 1998, Peyton Manning has not missed a single game of football, playing over a decade without missing a game and producing a nearly unmatched ironman streak that (as of this writing) stands at over 180 games and counting.
The name of the game with this man is a trait that we all require in our own fitness and life goals: consistency.
He holds the NFL record for the most seasons with 4,000 passing yards: nine (six of which were done consecutively, also an NFL record). A record 11 consecutive seasons with 25 touchdown passes, and counting.
A Wayne Gretzky-like arsenal of records that are too numerous to mention is also his, in addition to pretty much every single Indianapolis Colts record that a quarterback can hold. Perhaps biggest of all, he was named this season’s league MVP, making him the first player ever to win the award four times.
Nine Pro-Bowl selections, 7 All-Pro selections, a SuperBowl MVP and so on and so on…
If I list a tenth of the man’s accomplishments on the field, I’ll be sitting here typing for the next two weeks. The key to the man’s success, beyond obvious natural talent, is commitment, discipline and consistency – all three of which we are capable of reproducing in our own endeavors.

TRAINING NOTES
Total Sets (Calves): 15
Total Sets (Back): 15
Again, my 3-3-3 tempo is really more of a 5-5-5. Maybe I should just call this training period a 4-4-4 or something. I had been considering stepping it up to 5-5-5 for the next segment, but I am now leaning toward going back to fast tempo for the next training period, and then 5-5-5 after that (a month or two down the road).
