    I went for a hike today. I aimed for 17 miles; I spotted a fun diversion and did 20.

    @drmwc, impressive that your last round was the fastest. That’s a goal of mine when doing running intervals that I’ve yet to achieve.

    Good job!

    Thanks. I find always get an adrenaline boost on the final set, as I am happy it is nearly over.

    Took two days off on the 4th and 5th for family time. Went back at it yesterday. Was supposed to be 90 minutes easy at the gym. Did well overall, but got carried away once on the rower (of course!). Most of it was 130 to 140 HR stuff but the sprint on the rower spiked it to 170+. Just for a few minutes.

    Had to scale back the pull-up program. Felt myself getting a touch burned out on it. I also programed it incorrectly and as a result there were just too many reps. Never really got sore (good thing) but all in all it was getting to be too much. I reworked the numbers and today was day 1...

    07/8
    AM

    Handstand Pushup - Pavel Fighter Progression (3RM) Day 1/30
    *On a Yoga Block
    3-2-1-1 (7)
    Pull-ups - Fighter Pull-Up Program (12R Max) Day 1/30
    10-8-6-4-2 (30)
    *15RM was too much. I also did not program properly

    Yoga
    Hatha Sun Salutation - 10 Rounds

    Animal Flow
    Daily 5

    Meditate

    Press handstand core work later this afternoon...

    @J72FIT, I believe scaling back the pull-ups program like you did will be a breath of fresh air as is generally the case whenever we “deload.”

    The progression programs always seem to get tough the latter part of week #2 or the beginning of week #3.

    Keep marching forward.

    This time around I found a more precise way to calculate the reps.
    Set 1 - 100%
    Set 2 - 80% of set 1
    Set 3 - 60% of set 1
    Set 4 - 40% of set 1
    Set 5 - 20% of set 1

    The following week you add 20% to your top set and so on and so forth.

    We'll see if this makes a difference...

    Coxed a novice 8 this morning. I really enjoyed it, in part because it wasn't a situation where most if not all of the people were more experienced than I was and thus I had a fair amount of confidence. Of the people in my boat, 3 of them were not totally new novices and the other 5 were just out of learn to row novices. I also did an awesome job docking.

    I might bike this afternoon or evening, but we'll see.

    where were you 6 months ago? lol, i just now discovered the joys of warm up sets, wish i had sooner!

    today, using dumbbells and pulley machine;

    military press warmups
    military press (2x10, 1x9...couldn't get that last freaking rep in)
    deadlift warmups
    deadlifts (3x8)
    lat pulldown warmups
    lat pulldowns (3x10)
    about an hour on the dreadmill at a brisk pace (4.5)

    i really really struggle with military presses. i used to do them last but had to move them to first, i was dead by the end of them.

    Another Monday, another 6.9k rowing a double, this time with a guy who just finished the learn-to-row class last week. He's doing much better than average IMO, and is remarkably coachable, more than most of the new rowers . . . and much more than I was in my earliest season(s) of rowing, since I had roughly no kinesthetic sense at all at the time. ;) (Even that can improve at age 40+; these days I can almost feel things, not just abstractly form and test theories about them. :lol: )

    weight machines: 5 sets of 12-10 reps of leg press progression of 155 lb to 185 lbs; had to drop to lower starting point as out of town for a week), hip adduction and abduction (60 lbs to 80), and deadlift with smith machine; trying to establish weight to load - started with 40 lbs in addition to bar, and back squat on smith machine; also 40 pounds.

    Cardio: 45 minutes spin class (seems to help stretch out quads :-)

    12 x 500m/1 minute rest on the rower again. 10 minutes W/U on the AirDyne Pro (air bike/assault style bike) before that.

    Improved a lot from last week. Still not a great idea to "fly and die". Very painful. Should have used my time from last week as a "benchmark" for the first four/five reps and then gradually tried to speed up from there. Instead, I like punishment! Pretty much fell off a cliff at rep 10. Still almost a 2 second improvement on average from last week. That's a big jump.

    Get moving Monday (as named by my trainer)

    30min PT, squats, star jumps (not jacks), press ups, bench crunch and burpees, plus some suicides and sprints. Definitely not easing me in for the week.

    Short recovery run - 15min easy pace and cool down to 1.5miles.

    5/3/1 cycle 2 week 3 squats and shoulder press. Didn't do any accessory work as had barbell in the evening. Was nice to finally get back to 40kg for squats.

    Tabata - 30min, sweaty with a full round of burpees

    Barbell - did this outside tonight so nice and cool. Nearly got all the way through the shoulder track tonight so it might be time to up the weight when I start my new lifting cycle.
