Indoor erg games - choose your split and try to hold it for the duration with a new split per piece. The goal wasn't to go fast, but to be consistent. You get a point for every tenth of a second off (over or under) with the goal of having the lowest number of points. We were split into two teams with similar experience levels across teams but everyone had their own individual split, though the person next to me and I chose the same splits.
10:00 (2:15)
2:00 (2:08)
3000m (2:17)
8:00 (2:13) - the only stipulation was that it needed to be at least two seconds faster than the 10 min piece.
I hit all of them except for the second, which ended up being 2:08.2. This was one of the more enjoyable workouts that I've done and it was actually a comfortable steady state that I probably could have done for multiple 30 minute intervals. That makes me think my steady state, right now, should be around 2:13 which sounds about right given the 16k workout I did on the 22nd was 2:14.5 (broken into 4k intervals with 3 min rest I want to say).1 -

At my office around noon: Rdella Power 5 KB complex with 20kg KB starting new round every 3:40 - completed 5 rounds in 17:41 - average HR = 154 bpm (86 percent) maximum HR = 167 (93 percent) - total 202 calories.
Rest 30-45 minutes.
At a nearby park - 3.0 mile run completed in 32:43 - average HR = 154 bpm (86 percent) maximum HR = 168 bpm (93 percent) - total 371 calories.
Done during 19th and 20th hours of fast. Run was a little hard because the KB complex included 50 rack position full squats but I got through it.0 -

my main objective today was to bench press 185x3, 195x1, and 205x1. i was able to do the first two but failed on the 205x1. i got it a bit more than half way up but i couldn't lock it out so i had to lower the bar down and dump the weights. it was disheartening but i will keep grinding to get stronger and attempt it again! 😤
after that i did accessory work:
side lateral raises
incline cable flyes
shoulder press
tricep push downs
dips(the variation for lower chest)
ab wheel and elevated sit ups, i just call it elevated sit ups because i don't know if this variation of sit ups has a name and if there is, i don't know what the name is. but basically you use this bench with 2 pairs of the cylinder foam pads on it, you put the one farther out above your lower portion of the shins and your lower portion of the hamstrings sits on top of the pair that's closer to you, and you do the sit ups without your body touching the bench at all.2 -

Chasing 1 rep PRs and lifting heavy is fun. I had my time about 5 years ago and now it’s yours. Be safe and train smart.

I thought I would start a discussion and have people post their work outs. Maybe give each other some good ideas! If I stick with the same thing over and over I get booorred.

Less fun more work (but good work) for today's workout - this time with a partner
8x1' at our 1k pace/1:40 off switching with our partner - each person did eight intervals. So we set the monitors up for 20 sec rest and we had 10 seconds to switch and then were cheering on our partner. Then we had a 10 min rest and did the same thing but six intervals for each person. The goal was to practice the first minute of our 1k without blowing up.
I couldn't easily find my last (best) 1k test. It turns out my split from that was 1:45.5. I have another 1k test next Wednesday. I'm going to shoot for 1:45 and see how I feel for the last 500m. I didn't take a picture of the screen for the last six, but my split for the last interval of the first set was 1:43.4 (it was the only one under 1:45.5, though one was 1:45.6) - mind you my goal was 2:05 which I quickly realized was too slow so I just disregarded said goal.1 -
I don't start back up until Monday0
