| I took three days off training - it was a mix of sulking (or at least not wanting to train), not having time due to kids' stuff and work and feeling a bit off due to the vaccine. Felt more like three weeks TBH. On reflection, you are right, JT - it wasn't a total disaster. I'm ready to get going again now! Thursday Start of the new training block. Goals: 195kg squat, 132.5kg bench, 225kg dead. LET'S GO! Squat 122.5kg x 9, 9, 9 Bench press 82.5kg x 9, 9, 9 Deadlift 145kg x 7, 7 A bit of assistance work and back on the rower later on today. | |||

Strong benching and nice high HR rowing.  I wonder how much the 4 x 2 mins TR session took out of you recovery-wise? | |||

| What a brilliant season you have had! Loads of metres! I can imagine you pulling your wife and boy round the street like the crazy old man that you are. | |||

jt said:520 total not so disastrous? Do you need some fractional plates for the bench? It feels like the last four months has been a waste of time. I do have fractional plates, but I don't currently use them. Maybe it's time for a change of programme? | |||

| Friday MAX day! Squat 150kg x 2 165kg x 1 180kg x 1 195kg x f Bench press 100kg x 2 110kg x 1 120kg x 1 130kg x f Deadlift 170kg x 1 200kg x 1 220kg x 1 A pretty disastrous session. The squat wasn't really close, the bench couldn't have been any closer and the deadlift was 5kg up on last time I maxed - at least I finished on a positive. | |||

| Keep them coming, Rick. You are keeping all of us baldies/silver foxes thoroughly entertained. | |||

| You know you’re near your max when 0.5/500m improvement seems too much. I’m sure you’ll smash it. | |||

| Congrats on the 100 and 500 PBs. You should be buzzing! | |||

| Brilliant pace that! What do you reckon you can get it down to? | |||

Post Edited: 28.04.2021 @ 22:01 PM by Sparrow Cheers!Wednesday Another late one... C2 Warm up 5 mins 1317 1:53.8 25 6 x 500m, 2 MR 9:56.7 3000 1:39.6 30 1:39.6 30 1:39.6 30 1:39.8 31 1:39.8 31 1:40.9 31 1:36.9 38 Annoyed with myself: the erg did that weird thing where it missed some of the start of the 5th rep. I spent 170 m trying to get back under what I thought was my target pace of 1:41, only to realise with two pulls left that my target pace was 1:40. I wanted to punish myself/prove to myself that I could have hit the pace by going for it a bit on the last rep. I had to sit outside in the garden for ten minutes after that! Ouch! | |||
