Not done, yet...

Squeezed some legs in last night... DBSS for 10 reps at BW, 12kg then 20kg added.

mrthingyx · 8 May 2019 at 22:30

Urgh. Did some Zwifting over the past few days...

Sunday: Emily's Short Mix @ 244W FTP
Today: 5+5 Over-Under intervals @ 225(ish)W FTP.

Genuinely unpleasant, and with lots of pauses.

mrthingyx · 11 May 2019 at 00:16

Moar Zwift... Over-unders for 1 minute *5 today at proper intensity. Lasted for one set...

Also sum bench, too, having realised my pec minor is trying to dislocate my shoulder... Need some stable base, too...

mrthingyx · 19 May 2019 at 10:02

Friday...

DEADLIFT (5-3-3-4) 100-130-130-130 Lots of cobwebs...

Yesterday...

BENCH (20-10-10-[7-4-3]) BAR-40-50-60 Such pump.
OHP (10-10-[6-3]) 30-40-42.5

Holiday and food mean preloaded gains.

Turbotrainer (10 mins) Easing in after nearly two weeks off...
BENCH (10-10-10-5-5) 40-60-60-70-70 Heaviest bench in 12 months.
KB ROW (16) 20kg

Errmagersh... Two days training in a week!

ZWIFT... Some over-under horror of my own making: 105-110/90 intervals (1min/1min), twice, followed up by 10 minutes of 95% FTP. Yuck.
BENCH (10-5-6-6+1) 40-70-70-70. Right shoulder felt a bit stiff, but was soon behaving.

One of these days I will have to train legs... :eek:

mrthingyx · 10 Jun 2019 at 11:16

Oh, wow... I actually did train legs. Cyclists must be weaksauce...

BACK SQUAT (10-5-6-[7+3+1]) 40-60-70-75 First time back squatting since last summer. Very happy with that. But also wound up with insta-DOMS, which have only gotten worse today...
SNATCH GRIP RDL (10+6+1) 60+70 Quite light, but wanted to get all my leg DOMS out the way in one go...

Happily, the cycling intervals don't seem to hurt as much as they used to, so might just carry on with their nastiness. As for leg day, I have missed squatting.

First day back squatting in a year and you didn't stay light and focus on form...gg lol

Enjoy your hard earned DOM's

Not enjoying them, tbh. It's a bit like having trousers made of fire.

And it's my first time back squatting in a year - I've done some front squats and DBSS, so don't have that many excuses. And form was "safe but rusty."

Still got mine from Friday, could hardly walk yesterday

Yeah - I'm not looking forward to them getting worse over 48hrs...

mrthingyx · 12 Jun 2019 at 21:13

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

mrthingyx · 12 Jun 2019 at 22:27

And deadlifts... 100*5, 120*3, 130*6

mrthingyx · 14 Jun 2019 at 14:58

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.

mrthingyx · 18 Jun 2019 at 14:13

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!
