35 min run/walk on the treadmill. Slow going but no pain in the leg and it feels a bit more normal every day. By spring I should be back to 4-6 mile runs.
That's great.Quote:

That's 3 rides and 2 runs this week so far, I missed yesterday but might do a double tomorrow.
Yes, I don't believe in 'flicking' and stuff...Quote:

Regular.... I hate substitute theropysts, they always are good at preventing progession, and or takes that much longer to be done with PTQuote:

I suck at chin ups, but when I do do them, I make sure not to turn them into a monkey bar bonanza.Quote:

Also, I have done some heavier lifts where it was hard to keep a good posture and clean technique as I was pushing my limits, but they were still within a reasonable margin. If I notice my technique is out the window, I stop and reassess (and I don't count the faulty repetition). It usually means I'm lifting too heavy or forget a vital part of technique.
It's the same old bragging rights over efficiency and actual progress. I often wonder why people even bother doing an exercise when they obviously hardly pay attention to technique and posture.
The sub was great, she was actually the first person I saw months ago when it first flared up, she just doesn't do the dry needling that the regular one does. Dry needling isn't pleaseant, but it works like a hot damn.Quote:

That link sums up why i "d rather use my own equipment. I also hate the that grab weight off the rack, go sit on the bench and flap their gums about what they are gonna do, and never lift that weight they originally got off the rack.Quote:

I feel for me overhand grip works the lats. Of course I'm not suggesting door frame pull ups (as they may more correctly be termed rather than chin ups) aere an all round great movement, but they're hard, work the fingers, take some time to be able to achieve, and do also work the lats and biceps.Quote:

I have a chin up bar that hooks on to a door frame, plus various other setups at home for chin ups, so do enjoy various hand positions...
Anyway, TODAY'S workout was getting up at 20 past five, driving about 90ks to a climbing destination, doing a couple of easy (for me) routes and a mid range route, then hoping back in the car and driving another 90ks to the bouldering club and climbing there for an hour and a half.
Had quite an intense session at The Club, worked on a lot of traversing for endurance but also some powerful 'campusing' moves (using no feet) and some roof climbing.
Gotta get back on the single speed push bike soon too :-)
Of course there is room for 'cheating' on the last few reps, but for 'testing' purposes (i.e. for instance personal 'benchmark' testing) good form is important for me.Quote:

35 minute run/walk on the treadmill. I really do feel like I could run harder but I'm going to resist temptation and just take it easy. Next week will be a bike week with 3 bike rides and only 2 runs. Looking to kick it off with a longish bike ride tomorrow before the Buccanneers of Tampa Bay embarass the Giants of New York
That is probably why peeps still love machines over free weights, because their bad form will not on injur themQuote:

I'm doing some fire training this weekend, so after we got finished today, I rowed on the machine for 1/2 hr. That will be about the extent of my workouts until next week.
This will shed some light on that Pushups hit lats?? - Bodybuilding.com ForumsQuote:

A 39km Surf & Turf this morning on the CX bike.
43 mile (69km) bike ride today on my Raleigh Hybrid. Went to downtown Clearwater and back. Just beat the rain coming home. I think this is probably as far as I'd want to ride a bike in one day at the moment. Off day tomorrow then a bike ride on Tuesday.

I think it's safe to say my leg is no longer injured :)
Took a week off, but today is the start of a new week.
The weather in CO is holding up nicely, mid 60's yesterday and perfect day to take a road bike for a spin.
Did a century ride with about 3800 elevation gain, felt good to be out and riding!
Cheers.
3km warm up/3km cool down.
2.5km worth of alternating pushups/situps/burpees and laps, then squats/tuck jumps/partnered squats and laps, then lunges/jumping jacks/plank and laps.
A 4km run after work in my Luna's.
Quite warm here at the moment, temperatures reaching 32 deg C (90 deg F) and estimated to reach 37 deg C later in the week.
Ha, I wish. Just hit 0 deg C here today, wet snow flying. Anyway......Quote:

Is this your first time doing wide grip pull uos, or just my first time noticing ? How do you like the grip opposed to standard?Quote:

So far have managed 9 Move exercises this month in 10 days.
There is a MTB race in SA called the Freedom Challenge which is a non-stop race from Pietermartizburg to just outside of Cape Town. This race is approximately 2300km long and you navigate on a preset route using 1:50 000 maps (no GPS allowed). Maximum number of days allowed is 26 with check points every 100km or so and various cut-offs along the route.
The organisers also have a non-stop race called Race 2 Rhodes which is the 1st 500km of the Freedom Challenge. Starts in Pietermaritzburg and finishes in a town called Rhodes. Racers are given a maximum of 8 days to complete.
Both races start in June which is the middle of winter in SA and racers do encounter all types of weather including snow.
Last night I entered the R2R.
Freedom Challenge - Home
Do we get updates and race pictures during that time?Quote:

Yes, the only way of navigation (unless you've done it many times before and can remember routes & paths) is by map and compass. So I'd better brush up on my map reading skills. Fortunately I've done a lot of Adventure Racing down the years and know how to use a compass and read a 1:50 000 map.Quote:

Cool, yeah that's quite funny. Hardly an authoritative source! Just a few guys talking :-). Also there appears to be nothing on there about chin ups, so I guess the title did fool me. :-)Quote:

I do feel that sometimes not doing a weights workout for some time and then doing one allows you to determine, via DOMS, exactly what you have worked. Bench presses certainly do (for me) work the lats some what in regard to stabilisation.
Anyway, dude, certainly every thing I post here is just my experience.
My pull-ups are usually wide grip, they're harder to do than narrow, which I can do with rows. Also, as for your question about tri's, try stretching out your triceps before & after. Might help with a bit with the soreness.Quote:
