    No workout yesterday, no time because it was my turn to prepare dinner.

    Today a 10km run on the treadmill, steady pace at 8.6kph for most of it, with a few speed increases at the end.

    Total distance for the week is 31.8km, a good week even though Garmin seems to think my exercise load is decreasing.

    Intensity minutes, @Lietchi? I wonder if they changed the algorithm or something. Mine seems weirdly lower, too, recently (and it's not because of the weather-related rowing cancellations lately). There was one whole session for which it gave me zero intensity minutes, even though it "saw" the workout, and it wasn't an exceptionally non-intense one.

    My intensity minutes are slightly lower, but it's my training load that seems to be harder to keep up. (I've had my watch for 9 months and only updated the software yesterday for the first time, so that's probably not the issue)

    I did a 10km run and today it's already saying my training load is low 🙄

    Fitness trackers are great but I'm not going to push myself into overtraining just to see my graph do what it should 🤪

    Upper Body

    Bench Press 8x3x86.5% 1RM
    Cable Row 5x5
    BB Decline Press 5x5
    Machine High Row 4x10
    Seated Arnold Press 3x10
    DB Curl 3x10 (Twist Curl, Hammer Curl, Concentration Curl) <<superset>> DB Lying Skull Crusher 3x10
    Cable Woodchoppers (Low, Mid, High) 3x10

    My preferred machine decline press was in use, so I tried the BB decline bench station. What a wonky sensation.

    Incline press 2x12, 1x19 (40lbs)
    Decline press 2x12, 1x17 (50lbs)
    Chest press 2x12, 1x15 (50lbs)
    Shoulder press 2x12, 1x18 (50lbs)
    Pectoral fly 2x12, 1x16 (45lbs)
    Triceps press 2x12, 1x16 (90lbs)
    Lateral raise 3x12, (25lbs) single arm
    Abdominal 2x12, 1x23 (165lbs)


    I pushed my third sets to failure today. If I am looking at it right, I can go up in some of my working weights. I need to work up the gumption to venture into the free weight side of the gym to find the 2.5lbs weights so I can move up in incline and shoulder press for sure (Incline, decline and shoulder press you change the weight on each side stack, in 5lb increments, so just using the machine, it's 10lb jumps to move up in weight, which did already for decline and shoulder, but don't think I can just jump up another 10 lbs on all of those). I will definitely increase my abdominal crunch weight, lol, it means going to 185. Straight chest press, today was the first time I did all three sets at 50 (I moved up from 45 not too too long ago).

    I did a 45-minute walk. I'm new back at trying to get back into shape after the death of my husband last year. I was a huge hiker before then but the last year have not done much. Trying to burn at least 500 calories a day and exercise. I really love that I can sync map my hike to this app. Have a great day everyone! Heidi

    A short but intense run today, 3km in 19 minutes (starting at 9kph and then increasing).
    Followed by another easy strength training session: incline push-ups and DB bench press, dead hangs, hyperextension, side raises, DB curls. Reps seem to be increasing a bit, and also trying to lift myself up a bit more during the dead hangs.

    I gave up with my fitness tracker as I don't like constant monitoring. I took it caving on a very strenuous 8 hour trip; it thought I was sedentary for the duration and kept on being too tell me to exercise.

    I went diving this weekend. It was nice, although my dry suit neck seal failed at 28 metres depth, and I had a complete flood.

    I went climbing today. It was good. We were supposed to train overhang, although I somehow got a v5 slab.

    @nicsflyingcircus no offense, but I wonder if you're interpreting the weight stacks correctly. Given the overall strength level shown from your other lifts, the idea that you are doing abdominal crunches with 185lbs for multiple sets of 12 is truly...inspiring? I say this because my lifts blow yours away in all areas, but my cable crunches are done with 130lbs compared to your 185? Possible, but I dare say unlikely.

    I know the machines in my gym do not always follow a set standard, with some using lbs, others using kgs, some referring to the weight used by both limbs working together, some by what each limb will feel separately. Perhaps it is worth asking a member of the gym staff to assure you how to read the weights for any given machine.

    I stand ready to apologize if I am proven wrong in my thought process. It's just that one number sticks out to me, and if it's wrong, could it be possible your reading of the others is also off?

    I just got back from vacation 2 days ago and after not doing any exercise for 1 week, i ran 5k this morning and it was hard😅 I will also be going to a yoga class tonight.
  • Lietchi
    Lietchi Posts: 7,098 Member
    Quick 5km run today, starting at 8.8kph with 0.5kph increases after 3.5 and 4.5km. A bit of a jolt at 3.5 after I accidently pushed the wrong button and turned off the treadmill instead of increasing the speed 🤪
    Sore legs today - not from running but from an eye exam today (don't like hospitals and don't like unknown situations and when I'm nervous I have restless legs)

    My turn to prepare dinner tomorrow - hopefully I'll have time for a longer steady-state run.

    @nossmf no offense taken. It's a hoist abdominal crunch machine, so I take the weights with a grain of salt. I don't truly care what the number is as long as I am progressing, I guess.

    With the bicep machine and lateral raise machine, I assume since I am doing single arm, I am actually moving half the weight, but I just list the spot I set it to, you know? I'm not competing with anyone but myself, so it makes it easier to keep track of.

    The main floor hip adduction machine was out of order again so after doing my other 5 leg exercises, I had to climb 35 stairs to get to the upstairs one. Torture. Also, tired this morning, enough that I didn't notice I set the leg press machine 5 lbs light. Skipped my ab exercises.

    So much for my planned longer easy run today. My body wasn't feeling it, I called it quits after 4km and my heart rate was already at 140 then. But 12km so far this week, plenty of time left to get my mileage in.

    Another coached row this morning, with me in 3 seat of the quad. We had some sub-ideal communication within the boat and with the coach (like we couldn't hear him sometimes!), but overall it was a good row, drills and at the end some short pyramid power pieces. Only 7.3km this time, because we were slow to get on the water and get started.

    Later, physical therapy with some arm bike and some upper body exercises. (Trying to get my scapula to move smoothly over my ribs, with the hopes that will let a rib that keeps misplacing itself stay where it belongs.)

    Also a short walk to/from the farmers market remote parking lot. There were local sweet cherries today!

    I get up most mornings around 4:30am and get the workout in before I do anything else. I enjoy the long workouts and pushing myself to get stronger and fitter. As someone that has lost a lot of weight, my metabolism is slower that most people my size, 6'5" at 295lbs right now. Thus, I do what I need to, to continue to make progress towards my goal of 250-260lbs.
