Thread: Log in your workouts today!

I pray for rain

clears the trails

Personally I think we should all give ourselves a pat on the back for being so fucking awesome.

*pat pat*

Well, you're kind of on another level, slap



but ok

Same sort of awesome workload happening here in this thread.

Spare a thought for young Slap mind, I've got winter to battle through - six months worth of the bastard.

Ouch!

The long range forecast is predicting a short winter in U.K. this year then?

Good Wednesday morning. Got out early and now at work and at my desk...

I've had a bit of an epically shit week workout-wise so far this week. Worst for a long time.

Monday I half-arsed it because I was all tired and sunburnt and shit; Tuesday I skipped because felt like I was coming down with the flu or something; and today I forgot me bloody keys so couldn't get in the gym.

Oh well Thurs and Fri to go so I'll make them crackers.

Finished off with another hour tonight. Nice and cool tonight, after the rain.

I climbed a mountain of label designs today, up and downstairs at least 30 times, at least 500 metres back on forwards from my car. 30 Kms in Pattaya trafic and visited the fridge at least 6 times to keep my fluid level up!

And had a coffee with Brian Jacks the English Strong man champion this morning so a day well spent.

Sublime workload, AO.

DO you find yourself perpetually hungry?

I can't stop thinking about food, personally.

Pretty quiet week this week, few bits and pieces in the gym, a 25km mountain race on the Wattbike - threshold effort for an hour , and I'm just about to run to work, 10k return journey.

Fair to middling levels of awesomeness, nothing special this week.

Yes, I never ate more than 2 times a day really. Now I have to eat 4 at least and the weight just keeps coming off. I now know what they mean by an endorphin high. I really cant believe how much I enjoy getting out and going. Not sure at my age twice a day is the ideal thing to do. But I have not felt as good in at least 10 years.

Leg day:

Workout # 2 {Thighs, Hamstrings, Glutes, & Calfs}
Warm-up = Squats .1 Set 12 Reps.
Work Sets
•Squats. 1 Set 8-10 Reps. 1 Set 6-8 Reps. 2 Sets 4-8 Reps.
•Lunges. 3 Sets. 6-8 Reps.
•Leg-Curls. (Done on stomach). 1 Set 6-8 Reps. 1 Strip Set.
•Calf Raises. 1 Set 10-12 Reps. 1 Set 8-10 Reps. 2 Sets 6-8 Reps. 1 Strip Set.
Time~ 56 min. 14 Sets = 14 min. plus ~3 min. rest in between = 42 min.

I wouldd strongly recommend every session includes 3 different muscle groups in rotation.
1. Arm and shoulder
2. Trunk
3. Legs

By all means concentrate on a particular muscle group, but give each group a rest in between sets by employing other areas. Helps avoid injury and silly stress issues, especially as we age.
Just my two penn’orth..

The body needs time to recover.

3 days at least per muscle section as one gets older, also plenty of protein.

Eg:
Day 1 back and Biceps
Day 2 lower cardio Eg running , swimming or cycling
Day 3 shoulderand Triceps.
Day 4 rest
Day 5 chest
Day 6 cardio
Day 7 legs
Eat as much protein as you can, not easy.

Fuck that, go hard out balls-to-the-wall until you snap your shit up.

Just kidding... 24-48hrs is usually enough recovery time.

The rule of thumb is don't exercise the same body part more than twice per week. Personally I do Legs Push Pull on a five day rotation so two Push and Pull days per week a day apart.

But then everyone's different, the most important thing is just to listen to what your body is telling you.

I jog, and do a little upper body work. Today is beautiful weather so I went out and got lost in Spotify. Next thing I know my fitbit is buzzing saying 10K. I had no idea I had gone so far. Very good start to a nice day.

Started to work 8 minutes ago, finish at 4 so will go home and go out again just after 5pm if it stays nice.

True. My body demands I smash the living shit out of it on a daily basis. Or maybe that's my brain. I must punish myself for past sins.

While we're on the subject of getting juicy - anyone seen this guy before

Yes body?

<thundering> "TIME TO EJACULATE"

yes body

Back to it with a wee baking hot afternoon stroll.



Slowly but shirley.

Actually happy enough with the 8.5 mins per Km average.



Get fooked Slap.

Looks like its going to be a nice evening for a jog. I will go out just after 5 and try and get in another 5 K. I really want to have a 20 kilometer jogging day again...

^ That is stamina.

You should enter an ultra event, AO. There's plenty in Thailand.

Here's a good looking run. You'd piss it given your workload.
