Saint 1 1,546 Report post Posted November 8, 2019 Hit a 220kg trap bar deadlift at 80kg bodyweight today. That's also up 20kg in the last 8 weeks so pleased with that! Can't wait to see what the remaining 4 months of pre-season bring. I've also not had a drink in 6 weeks which is generally doing great things for my health and fitness too! 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanaBull 1,524 Report post Posted November 13, 2019 167lbs this week, down 1.2 on last week, 62.8lbs overall. Was at the pool on Monday night, there was a snowstorm so not many folk had made it there, had a lane to myself and a fast guy on my inside. Chasing that ###### I got 40 lengths done in just under 30 minutes! Best yet and 15 minutes less for the same distance than when I started back 6 months ago. Been focusing on getting back running but perhaps I should change tack and focus more on the pool instead. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you have issues with your joints, swimming feels like a great option to get your cardio in without having to take as much impact. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Never used to like it to be honest, it was the aquatic version of a treadmill and made me feel like a hamster or at least a vole of some description. It's certainly better all round exercise, easier and more flowing on the spine and the leg that doesn't work too well. Definitely not as clumsy as being on land!

Point, yeah go on! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did a bit of parkrun marshalling yesterday so got to yell at people to get their harrises into gear. I do enjoy a bit of marshalling. 1 Quote Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day.

MattSantos 723 Report post Posted December 2, 2019 Started on the ski erg recently. Woof A lot of work to do to match the rowing times. Doubt I’ll get to same standard but it’s always worth doing somet you’re rubbish at 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanaBull 1,524 Report post Posted December 4, 2019 Back up to 167.7 lbs after the scarily rapid drop to 161 last week. Picked up the new brace last week too so have been giving that a run out. Sort of reminds me of going between leather and plastic mountaineering boots many moons ago, no give at all! LOL Totally munched my foot running longer distances but nothing tape and (stupid) bloody-mindedness can't solve. In for some tweaks tomorrow. Upshot though, on the previous equipment my best was 800m in one shot, yesterday I hit 1,500m and it was horrible fitness which stopped me at that point, not pain or spine issues! Well pleased at the moment, certainly bodes well for the future. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
