    10 min jog to warm up before PT
    PT - 100 challenge
    1mile run
    100 trx rows
    100 squats
    100 press ups
    run

    Needless to say my arms are full of Doms now.

    Deadlift pyramids starting at 62kg and going up in 2kg intervals to 80kg. Decided to try raw and was very happy to pull the 80kg especially as it's only my second time back

    Shoulder press pyramids starting at 18kg up to 27kg in 1kg intervals

    Circuits, more bloody press ups (instructor is also my PT and if looks could kill)

    Tried to do the rowing version of the "fartlek" or tempo run today. 15 minute warmup on the AD Pro (Assault Bike) then attempted a harder 5K on the rower. Blew up around at 2500m. Held under a 2:00 pace the first 1000, then couldn't hold better than a 2:07 the next 1000. Limped on into around a 2:08 the last 500.

    Now, this was the first harder sustained piece I've attempted in over five months, so a bit expected. Finished with 10 harder minutes back on the Assault bike @ 235 Watts, then five minutes active recovery, 5 more harder minutes and a cool down.

    All in due time and with patience. My 2019 goal last year was a sub 19 5K on the rower (rowing times are very similar to running times, so a sub 19 minute 5K is very hard to do). I'll have to settle for getting back to sub 20 it looks like.

    Friday fun

    30 min PT- an amrap session today
    5 squat press (5kg)
    3 burpees.
    Hill sprint

    I managed 13 rounds in 20min, which is 2 more rounds than last time I did this one. But I've done a lot of hill work in between, especially recovering at top of hill.

    Tabata

    Total body conditioning- both involved using the step

    1 mile run, very easy just so I had the mile for the day in strava. (Technically I'd run more than a mile in pt)

    Will possibly be taking my littlest man for a mile run depending on weather while we wait for his big brother

    30 minute row @ 2:17 / 23 SPM today and then 20 on the Assault Bike, pretty easy on that. Steady State (long slow days for you runners) rows are slowly improving. Today was around 140 Watts. Slowly creeping back up. That's a huge leap from just a couple of weeks ago.

    Pull-ups single set max effort with quality bottom hang each rep - 11 reps.

    Bar dips single set max effort - 16 reps.

    Think that’s all folks, if I do something else substantial, I’ll consider sharing. Otherwise, I plan on hitting it hard tomorrow.

    Erg - BPP week 7/1: 7,500 meters with a split of 2:05.1 which is...faster than I was expecting. At some point, when I have a moment of free time (or procrastination) I need to make a graph the splits from the longer workouts (the non-interval ones. Today's split was 1.7 seconds faster than the 7k I did 10 days ago.

    I actually almost didn't workout today. I was headachy this morning (lack of quality sleep is likely playing a part - I'm working on it) and just didn't want to do anything right after class (partially because of mental health stuff). And I didn't. I ate a snack, hung out with a friend I hadn't seen in a while, ate lunch, and then went to the gym.

    My knees aren't feeling super great about erging towards the end of the longer sessions at the moment (as of Tuesday). Today was actually better than Tuesday despite the longer time and lower split. I suspect the actual remedy is doing the strength program my old physical therapist wants me to do as opposed to decreasing erging. Especially given that the pain doesn't linger at all. I'll figure out how to work that in next week.

    @aokoye like your self-talk post-workout analysis, I do the same and find it helps me when chasing performance goals.

    Thank you for the feedback! I always wonder if I'm writing too much in my posts on this thread in particular. I should actually probably put this into my the entries that get uploaded to Training Peaks too. I suspect it'll be easier to track things like potential or actual illness, mood, motivation, etc in relation to exercise there than anywhere else (Strava, Garmin Connect, etc). They already have mood and motivation fields.

    Saturday

    1mile very easy run
    Bootcamp

    Went out for a few drinks last night (well more than a few) so today's activities were interesting to say the least. Managed to get through it all without chucking up, which is a bonus, but there were a couple close calls.

    Bootcamp included lots of running, burpees, squats, press ups and sit ups, oh and Jack's. All perfect when you've got a queasy stomach and are a bit green round.the gills.

    Good stuff @J72FIT - I’m in pull-ups and bar dips mode now too except a tad below your upper rep range. Believe you can build a good top with those two exercises alone. Solid squat work with those pair of dumbbells.

    Are your workouts put together catch-as-catch-can or are you following a program?

    Good stuff, enjoy your youth.

    Hey @pierinifitness
    I basically do 3 days per week like this. I don't follow a specific program. I do a horizontal push-pull format for chest back and legs on Monday, a vertical push pull format for shoulders and back on Wednesday, and a vertical push pull format for chest back and legs on Friday. I grease the groove Monday thru Friday with pull-ups and handstand pushups. I do a lot of dead hangs for my shoulder health. I am also currently working on a handstand and a press handstand so there is a fair amount of core work. Yoga every day. I also try to do a couple HIIT sessions per week on an eliptical and or stationary bike. Jump rope when my knees cooperate...

    When 50 hits I plan on hitting back...

    Thank you for the kind words...
