Felt like I was losing at a wet tshirt competition for the duration of the workout. SWEAT FEST! but much needed.This weekend missing out on events training because I am on a pilates instructor course all weekend so I am hoping to gain hip mobility from just two days... | ||

Luckily I had my motivator with me or I would have given up a lot sooner! Resistance 6 on rower max effort (therefore variable lol!) 500m - 2:30 recovery (keep time at about 1:40-1:45/500m) 400m - 2:00 recovery (keep below 1:45) 300m - 1:30 recovery (keep below 1:45) 200m - 1:00 recovery (keep below 1:45) 100m - 0:30 recovery (keep below 1:45) 200m - 1:00 recovery (keep below 1:50) 300m - 1:30 recovery (keep below 1:50) 400m - 2:00 recovery (keep below 1:55) 500m - SHATTERED took ages to feel nearly normal again Will persevere with this, need to work on fitness, will improve acceleration, power, lactate threshold and determination! | ||

Member 2391, 72 posts SQ 100, BP 60, DL 145305.0 kgs @ 72kgs UnEq | Hi! Guess that means I should actually do some more squatting and deadlifting lol. Squat today maybe, deadlift midweek. I'm only tiny relative to you guys, but I'll take it. Hopefully Dave and me will be off work at the same time soon so we can get over. I want a go at the car deadlift! | ||

Feels so much nicer than loking in mirror to watch form. Spine alignment very important! Bench Press 45 1*5 50kg 1*5 Was told my press "looks weird", so took it back down and tried to work it out. Instead of moving bar straight up and down I was starting above mid chest and at moving it down but also towards lower reps. So on next reps worked on trying to move bar straight up and down, had a spot to guide me if and when I was moving out of line. I also moved my feet back away from my hips and lost arch from my back. Why do we press with the arch in the back? Just seems to make my spine crack!? 45kg 5*5 Found the line eventually, but felt much more difficult. I had to keep much more tension in my shoulders at the bottom, I was coming to far down before into my chest so that my shoulders were rotating and changing the angle of the press?! (these are notes to myself so if you are still reading sorry for the waffle!) BB Row 50kg 5*8 Still working on pinning my shoulders back and down and using a strict movement. 30 mins cross trainer SPM ~160, good. Pretty pleased, I'm not as unfit as I think. Quick stretch.
