Today's Workout Thread

[ZethLent]

Back in the gym after Christmas and New Years sure does feel good.

Not that I took a break, but after all of the banquet type dinners, it is nice to get in the gym and feel the burn instead of the bulge.

I plan on getting some inline skates to add to my fitness routine in 2014. I hope to get some more cardio in once I get them.

Another bouldering session tonight for an hour and a half. Feeling very strong, actually :-)

1600mtrs frontcrawl, open air 50mtr pool, air temp 5oC, water temp 22oC 26:05mins
8 miles off road on the MTB

Pretty much my Mon-Fri routine, rest at weekends. I will aim to get under 25mins for the mile swim by summer.

About an hour bouldering tonight even though it was stinking hot (39). The gym is a tin shed, no air-conditioning just two big floor fans. I went at 7 o'clock but it was still hot then!

Might give it a rest for the next few days rather than going Wed night as planned, the temperature is getting stupid over the next few days (42, 43, 43, 40, with a minimum on Friday of 30!).

That sounds like Karratha, how's your humidity? Someone said we had a high of 47 last Wednesday, that was my first day back on site after being in the cold of England.
When I finally get my sleeping in order I will be getting into a fitness routine, I am just too tired, last night I got 3 hours!

Just discovered this thread. Glad to see it.

After many months away from home last year for work I'm finally on a steady schedule and happy to say last week I've started a serious training program to get back into olympic lifting.

Best part, my wife is joining me and progressing nicely.

Yesterday...
Sauna for 5-10 min, Warmup pull-ups, kettlebell swings and dynamic stretching.

4X3 Hang Snatch from knees
4X3 Clean and Jerk from Knees
Back squats 1X5 warmup then 3X3 increasing weight, 1x2 then 1X1 at 90% , backing down to 1X8 at 65%
Lastly stretching and ab work in Sauna for 10-15 min.
Go home, drink protein shake, shower, then make dinner and eat lots.

It feels great to get back in the swing of things!

Slept in.

Went hard to make up for lost time.

Strained a muscle.

Pushed on regardless.

Gonna know about it tomorrow for sure.

Knocked 15 minutes off my skate circuit.

You could skate to kangaroo point with your handbag full of razors as ballast if you guys ever get the brissie meet up off the ground.

I'm on the board to lose the ballast. I don't want to add any if I can bloody help it.

Added ballast is a bit different to inbuilt ballast. I have the same problem.
