Nice! Barfing takes down the fun level a notch or two.

Back to DE-ish squats today. They’re not very dynamic by the last set or two.

  • WU Circuit
  1. Seated Leg Curl
    -/10
    25/10
    1p/6
    1.25p/6
    2p/12
    2p/10 + 4 + 2

  2. DE Squats
    To box, pause, 2m between sets
    45/6
    135/6
    225/4
    285/5 x 6

  3. Horizontal Leg Press
    Slow negative, feet high and wide and out
    2pps/12 x 2

  4. Giant Set:

  • Leg Raise
    BW/7 x 3 (trying to really roll my hips high here)
  • Donkey Calf
    185/8 + 10 partials x 3

I’m letting myself eat a lot more and do a lot more conditioning. I want to do more running, because it’s so convenient, but holy crap my knees hurt for so long afterward. I’m thinking maybe I’ll condition into it, but if not we’ll have to go back to the elliptical or other stuff I hate for the longer ones.

At first, I thought you did the bike for 10:50 which would be 50 more seconds, but… I don’t quite understand what you wrote here.

I assume it is some interval abbreviation, like 10 sec on and 50 sec off. Might be wrong though

@simo74 nailed it

At first I thought 10 secs work 50 secs rest and I was like finally my kind of conditioning. Then thought na TFP is better than me.

That’s where your thinking went off the rails. You know we’re in the same conditioning pool! Splashing around in the shallow end with our shirts on

As soon as I saw 10:50 and read it as 10 min 50 sec, I couldn’t un-see it and got stuck. Thanks!

Ha! I leave that to the hard workers.

I guess to clarify: it’s a sprint for 10 seconds, then cruise for 50 - I don’t stop pedaling or anything.

No way I am running if I don’t think they are safe. I usually shuffle whilst clenching my butt cheeks hard…… er I mean I would if it ever happened to me
