    Did we? :D
    I was just going off whatever would be closest to what I was doing on the machine. Didn't realise it would be THAT different.
    5 kg ones would be better next time to get it properly

    I did originally want to just increase fast time on the flat but I think I'll leave endurance for the long slow ones and keep increasing the incline on the hills and *then* time

    Working on regaining cardio fitness again still have lost a lot
    Half hour slow jog incline 1, few hill sprints then at 12kph incline 7
    I guess that
    *sunglasses*
    escalated quickly!!

    YEAHHHH

    Is it your grip thats giving out when you are deadlifting? are you using chalk?

    No, grip is fine, just found the weight itself tough and wasn't used to doing 8 reps or trying to. Mixed grip and chalk :)
    I'll do it again hopefully this week when I cycle around to DL day again and should nail it next time


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 21,981 ✭✭✭✭Hanley


    You're just not used to pulling 8s. You won't be doing it for long anyway.

    Squats supposed to be 4 but wanted to push them a bit where I could.

    The RDLs were to make up for the mid shin pulls I didn't do and to help DLs.

    Got winded after 3 hill sprints :confused: I am definitely going to have to do a normal 30-40 min jog this week. Think next 3 days will be bench/jog/DL

    Good stuff!

    Between warmups, workout, stretching, and cardio my sessions are all breaking the 90 minute mark now.

    I do mobility and rolling stuff the night before :o
    So i just go in and start attacking it. today took about an hour including the sprints.
    I think the benching day one is closer to 40/45 mins for the weights bit cos it's easier
