(today became a "just lift" day instead of a day off...) superset: dumbbell curls (4x8 @ 30lbs) and incline dumbbell press (4x8 @ 45lbs) superset: dumbbell front raise (4x8 @ 15lbs) and side raise (4x8 @ 15lbs) 100 pullups: hammer grip (22/15/15), wide grip (15/11/10/7) (I think I'm ready to take a huge leap forward on this. The pullups didn't really get hard. Next week, I'll do an exhaustion set and aim for, say, 35+.) bent rows: 4x9 @ 70lbs (These were kind of pointless, since there's no way I can possibly do enough to work my posterior delts and lats without wrenching my lower back. For some reason, almost no gyms have a high bench to use for bench pulls. There was one at Tufts, and by the time I had graduated, the gym had thrown it out and the rowing team appropriated it for ourselves since no one else used it. It was, however, fun to rack up 120 pounds and do a set just before a big ol' footballer hopped on and had to drop 50 pounds from the bar before they could do their work.) military: 3x20 @ 45lbs (This was just to waste time and stand next to a pretty girl.) hanging leg raises: 3x25

Hi All I'm at 61.5k since Jan 18/06, my goal is 100k by the end of Feb, I don't think I'll have a problem with that. I did a PB in the 5k today 25.09.1 with a setting of 10. So it's coming and the good news IMO was that the muscles were burning a little but I wasn't winded, their is more in the tank. I love it! Have a great day Cheers Tony

15 + 15 + 16 min , 3 min rest, ave 242w. It felt so good at the end I kept going an extra minute. Training the last weeks has improved fitness alot. i'll see if it will improve past current PB level. I'm very comfortable with my training program right now.

Today, the most important race of ice canoe. Nice training over last 6 months with specific work last month to peak this week. Score: FIRST at the qualification with 1:49.5 ( 4 sec before second place) FIRST at the race with 54min (30 sec before second) The race was tight but we accelerated the rhythm the last 500m to gain 30 sec to win the race! The condition was really hard: wind of 35 km/h, slushy / soft ice, rainy in the morning for preparation. The team are really happy because the other team was strong too. My girlfriend's team finished in 4th position. Solid race too! I'll post pictures tomorrow!! Bye

Amongst other things: 22reps of 110kg deadlift. No probs!

[old] ninthman · Post by **[old] ninthman** » February 6th, 2006, 11:57 pm

Two hour nonstop erg. 30,177m / 206.1w / 1:59.3 Started at 22spm, but gradually went up to about 25spm by the last half hour. I didn't check the drag factor, but I set the damper at 2.5 and it felt about like DF 90, what I usually use for distance stuff. Since I could do sub-2:00 for 30k just off the cuff, with no water and no powergoo or Fig Newtons or anything, I've become pretty confident that I can knock off a sub-2:00 marathon at my current level of fitness with some kind of real setup for hydration and nutrition.

My favorite of the day, an interval workout based on short time rowing and shorter time resting. Emphasis on maxing out each interval with strok rates starting low and then gradually increasing to open in the last set. Perfect for building musclue memory and strength. (specfics are confidentail ) Then a nice 2x45minute nap Lastly a 3x20minute light recovery row with an average split of 1:56.0

Six to seven miles easy run. Still a bit knackered from yesterday's uber-long erg.
