TR vs the future
-
decided to run up the longer track to see if I could find a better section for the, er stair sprints...I did!<br />
<br />
Is a bit longer, steeper and the configuration of the steps makes it harder!<br />
<br />
19 min to get to the top of the hill 3 mins back to the section for the stair 'sprints'<br />
<br />
The last 15 or so steps are tough, steep and just slightly bigger than a normal stride, but not big enough to take 2 strides per step...had the quads on fire on the first rep!<br />
<br />
Before I started I thought I'd do 15, after 2 I knew I'd only be doing 10, after 8 I almost passed out and a bit of bial in my very, very dry throat...so I walked the next 1 and walked half and ran half of the last 1 to make sure I did 10...SERIOUSLY FARKED!!<br />
<br />
16.20 for the 'sprint' (aka fast jog)<br />
<br />
49.30 for the total run. -
warm up on the punch bag<br />
<br />
100 burpees, 100 (each side) hammer/tyre, 100 skull crushers (20kg) 400 mountain climbers, 1 min plank (feet slightly elevevated)<br />
<br />
As for the burpees, was about 30 in when I thought I shoulda timed the first 50...although the ache in my quads from yesterday I'd be nigh on useless...just for shits and giggles I timed the 2nd 50...3.10 <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/rugby/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> -
warm up on the punch bag<br />
<br />
100 push ups (triceps were not keen on these as they were still not 100% recovered from sunday, cant recall the last time I struggled so much to do 100 push ups!!) last 20 were in lots of 5 with a 3-4 sec rest<br />
100 squats @ 70kg (reckon I could push this upto maybe 90kg)<br />
not sure what these are called - standing, barbell at waist height, and then lift to full military press postion, anywhoo, 100 of these at 20kg<br />
side planks - 3x30sec each side -
some muscles still a bit sore from prior workouts so didnt do what I wanted...<br />
<br />
warm up on punch bag<br />
<br />
10 mins skipping, 100 deadlifts @60kg, 100each side wood/tyre-choppers 2 min plank with feet on swiss ball (elbows on bench) -
[quote name='NTA' timestamp='1359624480' post='340700']Are your 100 deadlifts one continuous set? Do you have any kind of breaks or get into a rhythm and stick?[/quote]<br />
<br />
Nick I'm guessing its not 1 set. 60kgs isn't a huge weight but trying to do a hundy straight even with that would be an unbelievable effort. <br />
<br />
I've done 100 deads and I staggered it in a few sets 25,20,15 etc trying to have 5-10 secs break in between. -
I do the first set of a decent amount (anywhere between 25-35 without impairing my ability to do the rest while maintaining form...) then usually sets of 10-15. I only put the weight down, stand up flex hands and then start over or turn around have a sip of drink and pick them up again...max of 6 or 7 seconds rest.
-
No matter how you break it down 100 reps is still mean as! Normally I go for 10*10 if I'm doing a 100 reps of something - but knocking out 20+ on the first set does give you some great momentum! How are your hands holding up? building some lovely calluses?
-
hands are ok, tough hands anyway <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/rugby/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' /><br />
<br />
the bar is old and the grip not as good as it once was. -

Leave your sex life out of this... -

<br />
Went up the shorter track (45 sec slower than my best time) and came down to my stair section.<br />

Was gonna just do 10, but after the 10th, decided to go hard on another, but at least I ran all of them today; 44.37 total run.<br />
<br />
Those last lot of steps are a mission, but man it feels great after I finish!! <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/rugby/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /><br />

Correct, glutes in particular farking sore...tried to roll them on the medicine ball, hurts too much <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/rugby/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> -
glutes still a bit sore today, so did some rolling on the medicine ball to loosen up (still hurts...) then walked up the mountain with a 5kg plate in each hand, and did 13 'sprints' this week (11 last week) obvously I put the weights down while doing my 'sprints'<br />
<br />
Pretty hard going coming down carrying the plates after the stair 'sprints' a little over an hour out there today. -
woohoo, 91.6kg this morning!!!! My biggest loss in ages, been hovering around 92.1-92.3 the last week or so.<br />
<br />
Have 36 holes of golf on Sat/Sun and am gonna use my carry bag instead of my trundler, so with the forecast I should burn plenty of cals this weekend too!! -
you were the only one contemplating it being over...I didnt expect you to give up though! <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/rugby/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /><br />
<br />
First time I been under 92kg this century though, which was what got me stoked!
