vaguely rememeber that frm the dim dark recesses of trainings past - refresh me - big guns would rock, toshow off to al the rugby heads that I train Tuedays and ThursdaysÂ
<br />
<br />
And Kirwan, only thing hard about it is the three showers a bloody day - the 25 minutes workout glides on by real quick, but the constant showering and towel washing sucks! Also three pairs of grots a day pushes your washing capabilites. Have taken to rowing with no shirt on at home, because there is no one to gross out, and it saves on washing 3 tee shirts a day too!! -

Yes its been about 9 years since I did it (Uni) but had a mate who would only do chest and arms <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> From what I vaguely remember its basically three exercises:<br />
<br />- Seated (Preacher) curls<br />
- Standing dumbell curls<br />
- Standing barbell curl<br />
<br />
And you do sets with 5 full curls, then 5 from bottom to halfway, 5 from halfway to top, 5 full. Repeat for three circuits with breaks in between. At the end you should have difficulty lifting 5kg on each arm <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

When is "pre-dawn" exactly Bartman? It sounds terrifying <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

That is the approximate time you shoudl be arriving home from teh pub MvJ <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

With those matrix curls you can do 20s at NTA mentioned: 5 full curls, 5 top half of movement, 5 bottom half of movemnt and finish with 5 full curls.<br />
<br />
Another good one is 21s:Â 7 full, 7 upper, 7 lower.<br />
<br />
Also good for Triceps which you can do with Cable Press downs. -
Hey Bart<br />
Have posted a good rowing sesh for you to try in red Beards diary, based on the BFL. Good to hear how you fair. -
Did the BFL programme as per snapperslayers programme on RedBeards thread.<br />
<br />
Easy (ish) the 1:55 and 1:50 splits, the 1:45 and 1:40 a bit harder to hit and stay on - probably did closer to 1:46 and 1:41 splits, was over more than under by a second. the last 'sprint', meant to be 1:35, you have got to be kidding!! Managed to keep it under 1:40 for that split, on the 1:38 and 1:39 marks.<br />
<br />
Heart rate, after a minutes wind down to make the 20 minutes row was still up at 168 bpm, so shudder to think what it was at the end of the sprint!!<br />
<br />
Must get a decent heart rate monitor - my old one broke can cant be fixedÂ
-
Good to hear you got through it, was surprised you thought it was "easy (ish)", maybe you could throw 1 or 2 more cycles in just to make it a little harder or reduce the time each minute by a few seconds. Also put a bit more pressure on yourself by staying under the target eg 1.45/500m on the sprint, try to keep your speed under that, 144 at the most; only 1 or 2 secs diffeance, will make alot of differance. The last sprint 1.35/500m certainly tests your ticker in a couple ways, heart rate going mad plus the mental strenght to keep pulling when you dont think you can.<br />
Good work! -
yeah, half the battle is mental thats for sure - those couple of seconds look small on the monitor, but by fuck the are massive when rowing away!!<br />
<br />
When I say easyish, I mean keeping to the 1:55 and 1;50 splits - not the whole thing!!<br />
<br />
Will call the whole thing easy when I can be 1:45 or lower, and 1:40 or lower for those splits. And will call it beaten when I can finsih with a 1:35 or lower!!<br />
<br />
So won't be for a few weeks I reckon, at the least - a ten day trip to fiji will set me back a week or three!!<br />
<br />
Got some good results doing a two minute cruise / 1 minute hard rows for a while - 30 minutes. cruise being between 1:50 and 1:55 splits, hard being between 1:40 and 1:45 - nearer then higher as you get tireder!<br />
<br />
You do a bit of rowing too snapper? -
I am doing the BFL - 3 weeks to go - Red beard talks about it in his diary. On cardio days I find the rowing the best, get the heart rate peaking at 190 clicks on that last sprint. Down to under 1.30/500m now on last sprint.
-
fark, 1:30, there's a target then, fark <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /><br />
<br />
Think I will have to practise rowing at that rate when fresh to start with, to see if I can get there, let alone after 18 minutes!! -
HOLIDAY TIME:Â Fiji from 3rd to 10th, back into exercise Monday 13th.<br />
<br />
Won't be back on deck doing ANYTHING until march 13, so expect I'll be back to my norma fatbastardness by then :shifty:<br />
<br />
Will attempt a few paddles or soemthing in real water while away <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /><br />
<br />
so good luck fat busting folks. -
