Urgh... Another Zwift ramp test. Managed 265W calculated FTP this time, so those horrid intervals must be doing something.

good going

Mmm. I am not sure, because I think the ramp test is "gamed" by my history of weightlifting and squatting... I certainly don't feel as fast or resistant to death as a 265W ftp suggests...

I know what you mean, it's maybe just a bit of endurance you need to build up. Have a look at some of the structured programmes on zwift, or just more bike time

Sure thing - I am only really ever on the bike for under an hour, so I am not particularly resilient to proper cycling.

It's part of the reason I did some reading about "horrid interval training" by TT riders and built my own workouts to suit the time and brutality I thought I could do with. And they really suck.

I forgot to log...

Sunday...

HANG SNATCH (5-5-5) 40-50-50
BACK SQUAT (5-3-3-[6+1]) 50-80-80-85 Plate math sucked and couldn't be bothered to correct it. Glad I didn't...

mrthingyx · 22 Jun 2019 at 12:24

Been in a hotel for the past week, so doing random stuff...

But did some bench today...

FLAT BENCH (10-5-3-5-[6+1]-[7+1]) 40-60-80-80-80-60 Ooooft. That felt goooooooooood.

mrthingyx · 28 Jun 2019 at 23:43

Some interval training on Zwift, but only half an hour...

BENCH (10-10-10) 60-60-60 For the puuuuump...
BARBELL ROW (10-10-10) 60-70-70 Yes.
DELTSANTRIZE (15-15) 10/20-10/20

mrthingyx · 29 Jun 2019 at 23:22

Some more cycling intervals... The heat was atrocious.

OVERHEAD SQUAT (5-5-5-5-5) BAR-40-40-40-40 Very wobbly, but slowly got better.

mrthingyx · 2 Jul 2019 at 22:27

SNATCH BALANCE (5-5-5) BAR-40-40
HANG SNATCH (5-5-5) 40-50-50
BENCH (6-6-[8-3-1]) 60-70-70
SEATED STRICT PRESS (6-6-[8-2-1]) 40-40-40

mrthingyx · 14 Jul 2019 at 22:17

Did some Zwift for the first time in a while. I wanted to die after a bit because the intervals were set at too high intensity... So I switched to (leg) guns...

HIGH SNATCH PULL (5-5) 60-70
SNATCH GRIP DEADLIFT (3-3) 120-130
DEADLIFT (6+1) 130

Interdasting as saw your posts in the turbo thread as getting swole while also trying to become an endurance athlete is something I'm embarking on.

Been back to training for 6 months or so after a multi year hiatus, last 3 months have been structured and hard (Oo er) with lifts increasing weekly.

But on the other hand got a triathlon mid Sept (1k/60k/10k) which, if I enjoy it, could be the start of something serious on that front too. Picking up a turbo soon as need more structured bike training too.

Tl;Dr also trying to do cardio and lift so will follow log

Awesome... I will be interested in how you get on, too!

I may start a log again mainly for my own benefit of keeping everything in one place as currently my workouts are spread over 3 platforms so would be handy having something I can keep for future ref!

Moar Zwift, but was feeling quite tired at the start: SST got pretty dull pretty quickly!

BENCH (10-6-3-3-[6+1]) 40-60-80-80-80
BULGARIAN SPLIT SQUATS (12-16) BW-BW

mrthingyx · 21 Jul 2019 at 13:38

From yesterday...

MUSCLE SNATCH (10-5) BAR-40
HANG SNATCH (5-5-3-3) 40-50-60-60
HIGH SNATCH PULL (5-5) 80-80

Oh-ho... My upper back is sore today!

mrthingyx · 28 Jul 2019 at 00:47

Did some Zwift yesterday for 15 minutes... Then did some bench, Woking up to 80kg for 7+1 reps. Gainz.

Some moar Zwift today (Jon's Short Mix), which was horrid. And then this...

SNATCH PULL (5-5) 60-80
DEADLIFT (3-3-3-5) 120-140-140-140 Plate maths went a bit skewiff, but the results were good.

No idea whether the weight work is helpi g or hindering, but it feels goooooooood. As the cycling is coming first, the lifting shouldn't be hurting it... Just need to get more time in the saddle.

mrthingyx · 29 Jul 2019 at 07:50

Some light lifting today... Need to look like I lift, whilst doing all this cardio!

STRICT PRESS (6-6-[12-2]) 40-40-40
BENCH (10-10-10-10) 40-60-60-60
DBSS ss/w INVERTED ROW (10-10-10-10) BW-20-20-20
