Still training although this chesty cough is proving stubborn to shift so training has come down a notch, yesterday an hour on Zwift actually bagged a couple sprint jerseys, then a 20 minute swim in the bay, oddly had a real good session at the gym on Saturday and the bike too thinking I was over the worst, woke up feeling weak as a kitten yesterday, anyway feeling a little better today so hopefully back to normal soon, off to Provence to do some warm weather riding and exploring in June, fed up with this cold weather!

Unfotunately not doing much training due to my ongoing issues; still managing my x50 pull ups every day and managing to stretch out; but that's about it really...
Every so often (like last night) I feel ok enough to do some grip; so just did 5s with the Ironmind Rolling Thunder starting at 50kg and ended at 80kg for reps on each hand; soon burns out
Just done my stretches as best I can and pull ups today (20mins all in) and that's enough; see how I fair tomorrow
No signs of updates from the NHS re the MRI I'm due to have; typical of them really to keep you waiting... I'll give it another fortnight and then it looks like I'll have to go private, again

Strange one this morning, been feeling 'tight' and a wee bit achey around shoulders and waist this week and really wasn't feeling it when I got up, so decided to skip usual 'circuit'...
Chest 102.5 kg x 9....(first sign I was tired!)
Incline dumbells 40kg x 12
Incline fly 30kg x 10
Machine Shrugs, 60kg per side, hook grip, x 25, 20
Medicine ball twisting 'shot put' wall slams, new one, alleviates elbow pain, 12 per side
Floor slams squat/jump x 15
Rotational floor slams x 8 per side
No shoulders, no back, no arms today. Trained all yesterday and usually have a day break so perhaps recovery wasn't enough but tired....
Gonna go do some tire flips and more cardio tomorrow am before dog walks and (hopeful to stay the same, had a rather lovely Chinese meal last night...oops...) weigh in.... Best to all, peace and love, gbn x

Actually lost 4lb, rather miraculous. Might try to fit in a wee cardio session this afternoon, going out for a few hours later, many beers will likely ensue....Chest 102.5 kg x 9....(first sign I was tired!)

A good upper body workout the other day, PBs on everything.
Onto the last week of the 12 week cycling plan tomorrow. I turned the last workout up by about 15% over the last interval, so all is good. I remember looking at these workouts 6 weeks ago thinking how on earth will I get through them
A day working in the garden today, so really need to rest the legs now.
2 hours of workout fun in the morning then off out for a huge Sunday dinner of about 2k calories, so perfect

I have a seismic change of life coming up this year, and in preparation, I thought it’d be best to start getting into some form of shape. I’ve been going the last 4 weeks and seeing slow improvements, if not any actual physical changes in my body.
When I first started, the stairmaster was utter hell, my PB 3 weeks ago was 93 floors and today, I hit 114 in 21 minutes. Eventually I’d like to get to 130 in the same time and then focus on improving endurance to hit 200 flights in 40 minutes.

Haven't posted in a couple of weeks, life has been a bit manic. Still been managing to get to the gym, maybe not quite as much as I'd have liked.
BUT, I did do Hadrian's Wall at the weekend! We did it in 3 days, split roughly 30/25/30 miles with about 16kg of gear on my back. Was a bit mind over matter towards the end, especially as the last half a day was all tarmac, but it got done. Hips and knees are fine, feet could be worse but my calves are basically in a constant state of cramp. Was worth it, mind.
My one criticism of it would be that there is a total of one pub that is directly on the route. I was gasping.

Finally felt up to a short 20min session... Gassing easily currently but I've hardly any fuel going in, so it's not a surprise...
Think I'm on c1500 calories a day if that; dropped a further 2kg over the last 10 days
Anyways...
Bodyweight pull ups (narrow, supinated grip) supter-setted with dumbbell SLDL's - 5x5 pull ups > 5 x 10 with 25kg dumbbells
Tricep pushdowns super-setted with dumbbell curls - 5x10 with 30kg and 5x10 with 20kg and 25kg dumbbells
Bodyweight hangs - 4 x 45sec holds; 1st 2 sets were 3 fingers only and then final 2 sets were fingers only grip on widest supinated handles
More tomorrow (hopefully)...

Other than that; from age 8 to 21 playing rugby union then league covered all the running I wanted to do in my life But get what you're saying.. I'm losing weight now (not in the ideal way, but it is coming off); I want to get down to 18/18.5 stone so I'll let my body keep doing what it's doing and I'll keep training where I can/when I feel up to it
Not being able to train legs is a killer though bar some SLDL stuff; they've lost so much size its worrying haha
