    Worked with my PT today: squats, pull-ups, lunge+row combo, Bulgarian split squats (I hate these with a passion, they are the worst!), leg extension, lat pull down.

    I did my gymnastics homework today and it was all arms.
    4 sets of 10 assisted strict pull ups
    4 sets of 15 trx ring rows and 10 db bicep curls per arm, with 5kg DBs, resting as much as needed after each set.

    Afterwards I rolled out my arms because I was feeling every arm muscle I have. It was so intense for a 45 min workout.

    Tomorrow's a forced day off because I can't do the workout and the pilates instructor is on vacation. I'll see if I can go on a walk.

    Idk if I mentioned my knee hurting a lot but it started saturday afternoon and mostly I just tried not to overdo it and all the pain is gone as of this morning. Yay!

    183 minutes on my Elliptical for 12.35 miles. I'm off work for 6 days. Hopefully the kick start I need for a downward trend again!

    Felt fine after yesterday's row/bike double, so went on with my normal Thursday bike ride, 23.4 miles, 10.7mph moving average, all but 3' were Z2 and below, so taking it pretty easy. Strong-ish wind from West, high teens gusting to mid 20s mph, which was a headwind or crosswind on some open stretches on the ride.

    Supervised open rowing tonight, but didn't do anything active other than carrying some boats and oars.

    We did a short 10 min amrap of 3-6-9-12-15-etc power clean and push jerks + ring rows. I did 25kg and hang power c&js. I did 70 reps total! I'm very happy.

    I know I pushed myself because at the accessory work my arms felt weak and I had to break stuff up into sets.

    Now I just wanna nap. I got some walking in yesterday and this morning but overall I only did 4 workouts and this weekend I'm too busy. Next week I am off work so I'm planning to do 8 workouts total, which should be doable, and thursday I'm helping my sister move.

    I’m on here looking for 5-10 consistent members to have as friends who are motivated and active. Not liking for a large group of people. Just consistent, hard working people looking to take on challenging one day at a time. I’m a semi serious runner looking to run a 2:25 marathon. Looking to get stronger and be stronger then excuses I’ve used in the past.

    *sorry about my username, I can’t change it.

    My workout today was a one hour run. Looking to get back to strength work tomorrow after taking the week off to recover from my trail race ultra last week

    No paddles in my life today, but oars again (unsurprisingly). This time, we were in the quad, and I rowed 2 seat (one seat bow-ward of the stroke rower, who's stern-most in the shell).

    Once again in the engine room (2 and 3 seat in a quad), I was trying to get some power on each stroke again, feel a little decompression from the seat on each drive. In addition, our stroke rower (who sets the cadence, i.e., strokes per minute) was taking us a beat or two faster than most others in our group do in stroke; and the bow rower (also her first time this season in bow, responsible for steering and other calls) called some power tens, so there was a bit of an interval workout in there for a while.

    About 1/3 of the row was Z3 for me, and a tiny bit of Z4, so still not super intense, but a bit more than we've done on so many of the hotter days.

    I have to admit, I didn't individually do much tech focus. Somehow, the mood in the boat was a little goofy. There was a nice deer sighting (young spike buck); and some focusing on an earworm song that 2 seat was experiencing ("Kung Fu Fighting"), then that turned into individuals singing lines from different train songs when the freight trains ran the track section by the river, and that sort of thing. It was fun, but I spent more brain bandwidth on fun than technique, this time. (Usually, we don't talk much in the boat - let alone sing - except during water breaks when we turn at the bridges.)

    I ripped open both my hands, including blisters that hadn't fully healed yet, and pushed myself to the limit in today's gymnastics class. I don't think I've ever done a harder workout and the main reason it felt so hard is because I'm about 40kg too heavy to reasonably attempt this but here I am.

    Week 3 of our pull up progression:

    After the warmup we practiced beat swings and some kips. Kips are hard for me because they require me bending my elbows while hanging from the pull up bar, effectively lifting most of my body weight at least a little bit, which is extremely hard. I can deadlift my bodyweight and then some but not more than once in a row and not while said bodyweight moves.
    Then we did 8 x 1 min 15 seconds. I did 2 sets of 4 beat swings every 1 min 15. It was HARD. My shoulders were aching towards the end. But my beatswings are getting better. I am still terrified, which I can tell from my racing heartbeat, but it's getting less scary and some beatswings looked almost like kips.

    Then after those 10 minutes, we had to do 3 sets of 10 seconds pull up hold at the top, which I did with the assistance of some horizontal bands, 10 bent over rows, which I did with 5kg DBs, and 60 seconds of kb farmer's hold, so holding a kb in each hand and standing up straight. I made the mistake of sharing with a man so we both did it with 2 24kg KBs. It was a nightmare but we both succeeded. My arms were shaking during almost 60 of the 180 seconds of that hold. The longest 3 minutes of my life.

    Finally we did 3 sets of 10 DB bicep curls per hand. By this point I was so done, I used 5 kg DBs and called it a day.

    I am so exhausted. Idc if it's water weight, I need to lose more weight to make pull ups doable. It just has to happen.
