to row or not to row ...that is the question Member 1963, 811 posts SQ 202.5, BP 140, DL 265607.5 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq | Final heavy session for a while, didn't get the double BW front squat I wanted! Lots of front squats, jump squats to loosen up, worked up to 140kg and passed out (oops) and then went back down and worked up again. 120 x 1 140 x 1 160 x 1 182.5 x f Belt off 140 x 5 Belt on 150 x 3 Single leg press 160 x 6, 10 180 x 10 RDL 140 x 10,10,5 Lying hamstring curls Single leg 40 x 10 Both legs 60 x 12,12 Single leg 35 x 6 then double leg 50 x 8 Knackered. My oblique is f**ked too. I have no issues squatting, benching etc but strangely things like split squats, one arm rows, curls, pushdowns etc where I tense one side more than the other is causing real issues. I haven't been able to run for a few weeks now and it hasn't cleared up - unfortunately rest may be required and some time on a bike instead. | ||

nothing to hide, please follow my life on webcam Member 255, 3732 posts | Dave85 said: I love an excuse to stuff my face and running 69 miles is definitely a good excuse. Did you train with a bag and extra food? I intend on logging everything! Do you use Strava or anything like that? I keep meaning to get an arm strap and download Strava or similar. Strava's great. This is mine - http://www.strava.com/athletes/1444057?utm_source=top-nav As they say - you don't even get a training effect if you don't log it on Strava! | ||

It will be downloaded and all runs logged in that case! I tried to run today but the pain in my side was affecting my breathing and I managed less than half a mile before calling it a day. Really not good. Upper: Bench 60 x 5 80 x 5 100 x 5 120 x 5 (equal 5RM) 120 x 5 120 x 4, 30 secs rest and another single Drop set 120 x 4, 100 x 4, 80 x 4?, 60 x a few, 40 and a few more - more oblique pain. Definitely a physio trip now. Bent over rows 60 x 10 100 x 10 110 x 9 Straps 120 x 9 Drop set 120 x 8 100 x 7 80 x 7 60 x 7 40 x a lot Incline DBs 40 x 10 44 x 7 34 x 9,6 Fat bar chins x 8,8,6 Pushdowns/curls 70 x 10 / 16 x 10 80 x 10 / 14 x 10 85 x 10 / 12 x 15 / 85 x 5 Food now! Bit worried about the side, it is now affecting my breathing and is sore to the touch, not only to the side but up to the ribs and almost between the ribs too. Rest and physio potentially... | ||

 Nothing left in the tank. Member 5, 25564 posts Administrator | yea, I bought a nice garmin , invaluable !! the strava app does work but its not ideal , for me the investment is well worth it. I did train with a rucksack with food etc , all the s**t they make you carry was DITCHED at the half way point. yay ! | ||

Member 2376, 190 posts SQ 140, BP 100, DL 180420.0 kgs @ 85kgs UnEq | Some really good numbers and a good level of CV fitness. I always find it interesting to see how people balance lifting with CV. I am in that predicament at the moment, however the reason I CV is to stay fit for work, if I changed careers CV would be on the backburner. Nice work anyway, my best 10k is 39 minutes I'd be happy if I could get around that time now but I doubt I would. Will follow this with interest. | ||
