    Day 0004:

    Bear with me, trying to type up my notes I entered on the fly over a 2 hour workout session.

    Running
    14:13 - 1.04 Miles

    Benchpress - Medium Grip
    3 x 8 Reps - Bar + 90lbs

    Dumbell One-Arm Upright Row
    1 x 20 Reps - 25lbs

    Shoulder Press
    3 x 15 Reps - 2(25lbs)

    Bicep Curl
    2 x 15 Reps - 60lbs
    1 x 15 Reps - 30lbs

    Tricep Press Machine
    3 x 15 Reps - 100lbs

    Tricep Rope Pull
    1 x 15 Reps - 33lbs

    Indoor Row
    2 x 15 Reps - 2(25lbs)

    Stationary Leg Lifts
    3 x 10 Reps

    Was well into muscle exhaustion and the few others I tried had me risking sloppy reps and I'm not into that. Waste of time to do a bad set. So I walked a bit and then headed on home.

    Good day. Legs tomorrow.

    Good luck to everyone else!

    Yay its monday.
    Mentally been a bad place the last few days so I took it out on the gym.

    Started with a 30min sprint session with my PT, and she pushed me hard.

    Then took myself to the gym.

    Started with 20min very high effort on the rower. Didnt look at pace, had dampener on 6 and simply pulled as hard as I could keeping good form. Average hr was 160, peaked a few times >200, garmin kept beeping that I was above my theoretical max. Yes it was high effort, I couldnt have said more than a word, and could feel my heart pounding, but it felt so good to push to my limits again. Elbow was fine too.

    Then moved on to my shoulder and arm workout. Kept all weights the same as the last few weeks, but upped reps to 12. Because of my elbow I've been slowly upping the reps (by 1 a week) and adding in new exercises. Once I get the reps up to 15 then I'll up the weight a little. Added in shrugs and farmers walks today. Next week I'll add in reverse flies and then I'll be back to the routine I was doing before injury.

    Finished off with a little cardio session. 1500m on the ski erg, 1000m on the rower and then on the minute every minute on the air bike to get to 200Cal for the cardio.


    Circuits class in the evening, tough as per usual.

    8 X 500m / 1' (one minute) rest on the rower today. Spint session that has aerobic capacity work as well because such a short rest time. Averaged around 1:56.6 average. That was a 3 second improvement since end of July when I did that same workout. So, improvements are coming, but slow.

    Did 20 minute AD Pro afterward at a decent but slow enough pace to recover after -- around 135 to 140 Watts.

    Someone from my group put up that an Australian female Indoor rower just broke the 5K WR -- 16:54.2 -- Just absolutely ridiculous for a female. She's not in my indoor group but a lot of the women are friends with her. That's a 1:41.4 pace, just incredible. Some of the World Class women are SO strong now. I will never average 1:41 pace for a 2K, let alone a 5K!! Wow!

    BTW, she started off doing indoor rowing around 2016 (edit, it was actually 2017 she won the Australian Indoor Championship and was recruited to join the national OTW team) and won the Australian championship. The Aussies are now looking for fresh talent based on their indoor rower (erg) scores. She's now on the Australian national rowing team and has won Gold several times just two and three years later. I'm sure the learning curve was a steep one but wow, what a strong woman! Her main competition is Olena Buryak, who is the current 2K Indoor Rowing WR holder (6:22.8, also formerly a Ukranian Olympic rower and in my indoor club).

    Weightlifting class this morning (squat, bench, deadlift) followed almost immediately by erging. 4 x 12min/3min rest. My HR averaged out to 156 which felt more or less fine. I would bring the split up when it got around 158.

    I went bouldering for just over 2 hours. I got two long term projects I've been working on for weeks.

    My climbing has been described as making easy routes look difficult, and making difficult routes look nails hard as well. I think this session was in the same vein. I was shaking all the way up on one of the sends - the holds were awful. It was probably a success for the brute force and ignorance school of climbing.

    45 minute Peleton powerzone spin.

    Weird intervals today at zone "3+". Zone 3 is what I would call "aerobic but intense aerobic". Zone 4 is "aerobic threshold"
    ..so it's the inflection point where you start producing lactate.

    Anyway, the "3+" intervals were way easier than expected. Felt reasonably fresh after.

    I just posted a separate rant in another thread. But sucky weigh in this am. My Monday morning weight is always the highest of the week despite higher cal deficits over the weekend. Think I know why but it's still annoying!!!

    Didn't have time to work out much today but I raced my brother in a mile in a track. I'm a lot slower than where I used to be but hopefully, I can keep myself accountable for my workouts

    Awesome! I worked on some projects of my own at the gym today, some 6A's and 6A+'s . Sent a couple but not without falling a few times. 😆
