Heh, I’ve got that banana album - I used to get stoned to it as a student, many years ago. In fact, I’ll stick it on now, I haven’t listened to it in ages.

30,0 x 5 x 12 - burned like a mofo
I liked this workout, but it took forever.
Nice going on the deadlift PR.
Do you always row 1000m intervals? I’ve started rowing again (bad foot, so…) and prefer to do shorter distances much of the time but I mix it up.

no not always… but I found that with a little bit of rest, I could shave 5-10 sec off. I should be doing more steady state actually for conditioning (30-40min at heart rate approx. 165)… but lately I just feel like sprinting. But I’m trying to do longer than 500m sprints.
I can’t use the rower for long stints - too boring, and can’t grab a sip of water or scratch my nose during. (Speaking of which, why do I always get an itch the second I unrack a weight?)
21 year old female bodybuilder Hayley McNeff posing at the 2009 Delaware State competition - YouTube wow.

I kinda like to zone out for the long stints once I find my groove.

wide grip pull ups with help

30 x 1 x 7 - first 4 easy
30 x 1 x 6
35 x 1 x 10
35 x 1 x 9
30 x 1 x 4 - im definitely hindered by bad form I think. I have to remember to squeeze my traps hard, otherwise i feel like my shoulders totally dislocates. I was not made for this exercise, and I find it very challenging to my shoulder girdle.
was supposed to do chins, but everything burns at this point.

I really need to be more discplined and row longer… or maybe put my rowing on different days. I like my physique better with more conditioning.

I always find that the mental game of rowing more than 500 m is worst than that of running any distance.
hey wow, new log! i never did try rowing more than 500m. and still my split time was a heck of a lot more than yours. i find wide grip pull-ups really hard, too. even with bands, they don’t help me enough at the top for me to feel like i’m strong enough to really use my back properly. i need to remember to hold my arms in my sockets properly, too. love your red boots, btw!
well, when I come back from vacation, I think im going to try to incorporate row tabatas once or twice a week -
one min on full power,
one min off, x 8.
this has been shown to increase 2km erg times faster and more effectively than longer steady states workouts. also, of course don’t forget warm up/cool down.
in general rowing is both a mind and a bodyfuck. i highly recommend it to everyone who wants a challenging “cardio” workout.
