Pull ups, dips, stair repeats, again and again
-
<p>Went up several times during Chinese NY week off from 3rd Feb to 9th, almost every day, doing different workouts. Didn't record them here.</p>
<p>It was cold and wet this week, so I only went up today. Have been eating less for a few days (lost about 1kg, so now 89-90), as well as getting up early to watch the test match=not enough sleep, so...</p>
<p>12 hill repeats, average speed, wasn't feeling great but I persevered</p>
<p>pull ups were good: 15/12//12 all full hang/rest at bottom, straight legs, no touch the ground=pleasing</p>
<p>dips were so so as hadn't done enough lately: 16/12/12</p> -
<p>busy this week but went up one evening for light workout.<br><br>
Today had a good one. Before hiking did:<br>
15/10/10/9 pull ups with 2 minute breaks<br>
20/20/20 *55kg benchpress with short breaks, just getting used to this exercise again, finding it very easy. My max was about 95kg before, wonder if I could break 100.<br>
then 12 hill repeats in 23 minutes flat, hb was 220 at finish, after 90 seconds down to 110 again, not very quick time, but decent<br><br>
on way back down did 17/15/12/10 dips and 12 pull ups<br><br>
still on a plateau before going harder in mid-March</p> -
<p>Drizzly and cool, did:</p>
<p>before hike, pull ups=12, 12 </p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px;">after hike, dips=18, 17</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px;">hike was 12 times (as always, nonstop) in 22:55, which was splits for each 3 of 5:45/5:40/5:30/6:00 - so I negative split until the last 3. HB was only 195 at finish, so I had some speed left in the tank and could have been +1 minute faster, but legs had no more energy due to yesterday walking a lot, and eating very little.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14px;">weight down to 88kg or so.</span></p> -
<p>Spring's coming along, nicer day today.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>15,12,10 pull ups</p>
<p>15 hill repeats (7 fast @ 1.43 each, 4 slow with stitch @ 2:15 each, 4 good speed@2.0 each), 210 HB at finish, 15 total in 29 minutes, which is good.</p>
<p>15,15 dips</p>
<p>12 pull ups</p>
<p> </p>
<p>all pull ups full hang (1-3 seconds), straight legs, no touch the ground start to finish. On the 15 reps I did 11, then adjusted my grip (just swung a hand space to the left/right) for 2 more, then adjusted my grip for 2 more. I think I could do two more singles adjusting my grip. Still 90kg.</p> -
<p>Saturday, went up late afternoon.</p>
<p>Pull ups: 14/12/12/10...all perfect form</p>
<p>Dips: 15/15/12</p>
<p>Hill repeats, 10 faster than have been lately, although average start due to sluggish legs (first 2 only 1:50 each, last 8 @ 1:45). Total time 17:45.......plus 15 minutes up and down.</p>
<p>HB was 230 or so, and that's being conservative. I counted about 40 in about 10 seconds after sitting down following the last rep. 110 after 90 seconds rest. <span style="font-size:14px;">I pushed hard all the way to the finish. Pleased with that one.</span></p> -
<p>Just felt like a change. Love that area.</p>
<p>Bit sore today, but had a workout.</p>
<p>hill repeats, 10 @ 1:45 each=17:30, kept consistent pace all the way. That's a good speed, although I'll try for under 17 consistently. HB at finish 220+, after 1 minute 125, after 2 minutes 100, 3 minutes 85.</p>
<p>Pull ups-DOMS, so did 10 first, followed by 12.</p> -
<p>Funny, I had similar thoughts too JK! I was a 'shore boy' from age 5-11 (Glenfield). </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Wairau, good stuff on getting out for a workout even with a bit of fatigue. Didn't seem to cause you any hassles with your times!</p> -

<p>No shit? I thought your boganess was from Wellington but clearly not</p> -
<p>Yeah bro! Sunnybrae Normal School, Coronation Road, etc, etc</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I got my boganess from living in Paekak and the Kapiti Coast during the grunge era!</p> -
<p>Small world aye! Next we'll hear Wairau grew up in the same area!! </p>
<p> </p>
<p>ha ha I finally found out that 'normal' schools were connected to teacher's college. Always used to wonder wtf was up with that name!</p> -
<p>ha ha when you are a little'un even the small storm drains look pretty big!! </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I think we are doing the 100 pull-up challenge again this weekend so I'll be paying my dues lol.</p> -
<p>Friday afternoon went for a hike run with a mate, up a mountain (big hill) from sea level. Great fun, plenty of stairs and free plus technical running on trails. Midway we did 3 sets of pull ups, bench and dead lifts at a workout area. The bar exercises were light, but the pull ups were 15/11/8 with not long breaks so that's ok.</p>
<p>Saturday afternoon found time to get up my hill close to home, did 10 hill repeats as fast as possible, 17:45, HB 225~ at finish. Then 15/12 dips and 14/12 pull ups.</p> -

Amusing to see the connections. I know it rains all the bl**dy time in Auckland, but it must be a big storm water culvert for my picture to remind you of it.</p></blockquote>

I've forgotten what rain looks like here in Auckland, never ending summer
