Today's Workout Thread

[Mvcrash]

Yesterday morning I did 30 minutes on an Eliptical, 20 on a spinning bike with the pulse between 135 and 150. Yesterday afternoon I felt like being outdoors so I hit the bike trail for a 35 minute ride.

I use this app to record my rides. Pretty cool stuff. I have a HR monitor that will work with it as well.

I haven't been posting much lately, but I have been working out. I bought a Smith machine back in September. I am pleased to say that I am now to the point where I can bench press my bodyweight, 180lbs. I know that doesn't sound too impressive to many, but for me it is an accomplishment, at 51 years of age. my goal would be to bench 220, which was my max in my younger days. Again, it would not be setting any world records, but I was never a power lifter.

Pretty much only been doing bouldering three times a week. Sat I did 'laps' of a problem, i.e. climbing (sending) the problem and then down-climbing it (doing it in reverse) then, without getting off or touching the floor, doing it again. I did it four times twice. Also I've been doing a lot of traversing in the gym.

I DID do some light bench presses the other day; light because my shoulders hurt so much!

Olympic lifts today.
80kg snatch and 90kg clean and jerk - I'll take that, seeing as I haven't done them for a while.

Shrugs, pull-overs, bench press and some tricep extensions added, since I had some time left.

I've not lifted in months. I have been walking a brisk two miles virtually every morning. I haven't been riding the bicycle as much because of that. I sometimes ride in the evening though. I will begin incorporating lifting again in the future. @ 65 I have to do something to maintain bone density and forestall muscle loss.

Depending upon your views on this matter, testosterone replacement therapy may bare considering.

I'm sorry and I mean no rudeness but I couldn't help but read your reply in a Ben Stiller voice, a la 40 Year Old Virgin.
