Good week off down the beach. Did a few rides including a 40km effort out to opito bay. Longest ride I've done since I was about 16 I'd day. Hills were brutal. Surprisingly felt pretty good the next day.

Back in the gym this morning for upper body session and then a 14km ride on the bike. Summer shred is underway (although theres a fair bit of brownie in the cupboard that wont eat itself)

Still alive and easing back into training this week.
Doing the old school 5x5 and working up to two rotations a week of
Day 1 - 5x5 of bench, squats, bb rows
Day 2 - 5x5 of pullups, overhead press and 1x5 for deadlifts (they get enough reps in the warm up sets)Each day also has a couple of accessory type exercises in there too.
Aiming to break up the two days with a stretching/cardio/recovery type of session. Weights are pretty light but will ramp up quickly as trying to add weight to the bar every session as long as I can complete the 5x5.

Same mate! Dont think it was legit though as I bought it in Thailand after picking up a cheap walkman and needing something to play on it!

Doh almost two weeks update
More of the above really. Weights progressing and overall feeling good.
Fair bit of riding too plus the od crash so a few bumps and bruises from that but thankfully hasnt impacted the weights work

Yeah mate knees are feeling good. As long as I warm up alright then squats are golden
Was actually a bit worried as golfed yesterday and usually feel it in the knee the day after due to walking about on the hard undulating ground but no issues
