It would probably be too easy if you were enjoying it. Don't let the 7 x 4 TR see you off! You're deep into it now - get it done. | ||

old age traveller Member 332, 7867 posts | Wednesday 7am 1x30 UT2 7319m 2.02.9 19spm 6 hour round trip in the truck (delivering wobbled building materials) to spend the day with the in laws A lovely couple of hours on the beach including lots of rock lifting and moving. Was thinking i would do another 30 UT2 on return but way too knackered and late when we made it home. | ||

old age traveller Member 332, 7867 posts | I think My motivation slump has a few factors I have rowed almost everyday for the last 13months I have a nice collection of aches and pains (does a hypochondriac think they are a hypochondriac?) I have gone from being a gentleman of leisure to being booked into June very quickly. I have achieved what I set out to do (smash BOAR) AM Long leg bench 60x10x2 100x10 120x8 130x4 130x3 130x3 130x4 105x10x3sets 6 sets of triceps. ERG was hanging over me like a miasma, I left it as late as I could 4x500 last time I did 2mr 1.36.4 average I did not fancy trying to better that so cut the rest to 1m and aimed for 2k dream pace(1.39) @24spm 10mins 2121m 2.21.4 15spm 10mins 2407m 2.04.6 18spm 4x500AN 1MR 6.34.5 1.38.6 26 1.38.9 25 160 1.39.0 26 165 1.38.9 27 170 1.37.8 26 175 10mins 2241m 17 129 All things considered very happy with that, it did not take long to realise I would have to up the SR from 24 to maintain the pace I wanted. I was pleased I chose to wear the HR monitor and create a nice HR pattern. | ||

I might have to try the 1 min rests sometime on the 500s, but I’m a bit scared about it. Get week 19 done! 7 x 4 TR is calling you... | ||

old age traveller Member 332, 7867 posts | JLL, the 1MR was not as bad as I feared. Just getting ready to row and the boy decided he wanted to "wrestle" I should point out he has never watched any WWE or any other style of wrestling so I have to expect a full on attack no holds barred, at least he doesn't bite anymore Belated ERG 10mins 2366m 19 122 for some reason I did 10x100m 17.8 17.4 16.9 16.2 15.5 15.4 =pb 15.6 15.6 15.7 15.6 30s 188m I was surprised to hit the =pb a bit of practice on the start and i reckon 15.3 should be doable. 6pm ERG 8mins 1957m 20 122 8mins 2242m 1.47.0 25 153 8mins 2194m 1.49.3 25 161 5mins 1116m 17 123 | ||

old age traveller Member 332, 7867 posts | Thanks JLL, its a real struggle to get the boy to do anything physical so when he suggests I can't turn him down normally it will be after a gruesome days work and I just want to lie down AM Long leg bench 60x10x2 100x10 120x4 140x2 150x1 pb delighted with this 151 would of gone. 140x2 137.5x2 135x2 132.5x2 130x2 paused 120x4x2 all paused tricep extensions 1x70 1x50 10g dumbbells.

Did I enjoy it? No Am i glad I got it done? Yes Will it help on my quest for 6.36? I bloody hope so. | ||

Surely nothing can stop you now... apart from the 8 x 4 TR, maybe? It’s usually the case with kids - they choose to do stuff at the most inappropriate times. Nice bench too. Why is it all long-legged work? You know you can’t growth them, right? | ||

old age traveller Member 332, 7867 posts | thanks guys, JLL Benching with feet on the ground has been putting pressure on my lower back and nipping the sciatic nerve which is deeply unpleasant.

Dinner was ready. Forgot to put on vaseline and had horrible lat chaffing. I was invigilating today and was under nourished and hydrated. | ||

always lookIng for the extra UT2 work. Member 9, 18279 posts SQ 210, BP 167.5, DL 260637.5 kgs @ 103kgs UnEq | We'll let you off for the last rep! What were you invigilating? Tell us more... I used to get bad back pain when benching, but I now put on my lever belt fairly tightly and don't get any pain. It perhaps limits my arch a tiny bit (although my arch is terrible anyway), but it at least lets me drive my feet into the ground. | ||

old age traveller Member 332, 7867 posts | JLL, I invigilate at a High school about a mile away (where i got the rowers from) its a nice 20minute stroll in the sunshine or an angry 20 minute traffic jam at peak time. It was a pre-OZ idea of "retirement jobs" I might do over there rather than just turn up and say "GIZ A JOB I COULD DO THAT" actually getting some experience here would help. I also quite fancy a job in one of the big air conditioned gyms. Today I decided to erg before going to school 8mins 1883m 20 113 2x12AT 3331m 1.48.0 27 153 3247m 1.50.8 26 158 4mins 874m 19 119 Should of been 3 but I ran out of time, just as well as I was toasted after half of rep 1. A few sumo pulls tonight. 70x6x2 100x6 130x4 160x1 180x3 lots of achey breaky on this not least my thumbs which did not think much to being hooked 130x4 130x4 130x4 130x4 70x10 Wife's car had a flat tyre boy and I changed the wheel together he jacked it up and down, good times. | ||
