I have written up the personal decathlon rules. This week—birthday week—I am going to try to get the first testing cycle done.
My calf is still injured, so I am skipping the running events and taking zero points for them in this cycle.
The plan for this first cycle
| Day | Planned tests |
|---|---|
| Tuesday | 2,000 m row; both finger tests |
| Wednesday | Back squat; strict overhead press |
| Thursday | 10,000 m row |
| Friday | Trap-bar deadlift; weighted pull-up |
This is the original first-cycle plan. The reference testing schedule spreads testing across a longer window; this log records what I planned for this particular week.
