JK vs BigRed

Still here well there, well somewhere.
Trainings good - 5 days a week shifting tin at dawn and trying to get a bit of a ride in at the end to get the riding fitness.
Decent blast out of the trails last weekend but a bit apprehensive after my crash a few weeks ago. Will get the confidence back soon I'm sure
Haven't run for a couple of weeks. Will try for next Tuesday night
Works out of control at the moment so surviving on only 4-5hr sleep most nights
-
Still working like a dog so not training with the intensity I'd like but feels like getting back in to it.
At least the weathers been crap so not missing out on much mountain biking. Did manage a decent 20km ride on weekend whilst down the beach. Quick swim too. Farken cold
-
Busy as fark lately with work but kept as the training as needed it to keep me sane.
Took Friday off after hit a big deadline and rode woodhill 23km on trails. Good fun
Sat hit the gym for arms session, been ages since I trained just arms. Was decent.
Another good ride today, this time road and local reserve trails etc. Still a very solid couple of hours
Can feel like some really good training to come next few weeks. Should be good

Well skipped gym this morning as moving in day for the new offices at Commercial Bay. Maybe a mid arvo workout instead
Is that the new tall building just completed in Auckland? (Tallest office block in NZ)

Busy couple of weeks. Hit the gym all week days in the am as per usual.
Plenty of riding in there too with a few days out at woodhill and then some (fairly average) south auckland trails yesterday. Oh and even a run last week. First for a while so more of a jog than anything
-
Hmmm well fark me what are we gonna do.
Just felt like things were on the up with the training and fitness wise. Was eating well and even putting on weight which I believed to be muscle.
No gym past two days but 2 x short rides on the MTB but looking for jumps and drops more than testing the fitness. Will be picking up some weights from the gym if we go to level 4 or are staying at 3 for some time. Not sure what I will grab yet, probably a couple of sets of DBs and an EZ bar.
-
@JK I hear you. I was in chasing gains today and thinking about a weekend mission if possible. Still crazy expensive to try and pick up weights at the moment, second-hand or new. Primo you can borrow some gear. Get some heavish KBs and you can do some decent front squats, plus a bunch of other stuff.
Chur on the muscle mass increase! that shit needs to be recognised

Fark can hardly walk today. Hammies are tighter than a tight thing
Mrs MN5 and I were like that after walking up Taranaki. We put it down to some crazy steep bits on the trail....
That will be it. Hammies on the up and calves on the down?

So yesterday no workout, just a short ride round the streets with miss 8.
This morning the wife was teaching pilates (online) so was up at 6am and I followed and did a garage workout.
Entry was 100 star jumps (geeez I forgot how they can fark up the old calves!)
Then rounds of
BB overhead press - 30kg x 10
BB row - 30kg x 10
Pressups - 10 reps
Squats - 10 reps
BB curls (of farken course) - 30kg x 10 reps
Star jumps - 20 repsDid 10 rounds with 30 sec rest between rounds then exited via another 100 starjumps (so last round was 100 rather than 20)

Yeah weβre both in good nick but some of those stairs are brutal. Plus being quite competitive we took delight in walking past everyone else on the trail....and paid the next day...
