Run this morning: 20 times 100m strides. Then 10 full power sprint starts.
Road cycle this afternoon: 30km in an hour, over a few hills, average heart rate 130bpm.
MTB this evening: Maybe, depends if I can get my wife to look after the kids!

I’m a 45 year old man, trying to maintain some measure of speed and fitness.

Good effort man, keep it up!!

Today and yesterday were gym, bike, and swim, odd that despite going to the gym totally gassed from the bike ride I was really strong, bodyweight now down to 200lb which is the lightest I have been for a long time, and 17lb less than my heaviest, feeling better for it too.

Today's technical session went very well
Just need to make sure I keep form the same from now on.

Thank you!!!!

My dog was a bit hyper, so did the right thing and swapped the evening MTB ride for a 7km run. The body was feeling jelly like, from this mornings run.... Took me a while to warm up... but got to 4’12” pace for a km in the middle.

An evening snack, a movie and back to work tomorrow.

Man that was a *nice* lift!

I’m Impressed- smooth and rapid- awesome rep all round!

[smiffy180]

Cheers everyone!
I've needed a proper 1 to 1 going over deads as they've never been perfect, I'd just perfected my sub optimal form
That was a stiff bar too so I'm hoping 400 on a whippy bar will happen soon!

I really believe I have put the heavy stuff behind me but reading about you guys progress and watching the videos makes me realise, there are few things in life as satisfying as pulling those big numbers. Its a hard walk away!! Keep it up guys, your efforts are not unnoticed!!!!

I did say you should get back into it!
Not competitively but just for fun, no pressure then and can enjoy the process!

I reckon it looked easy up to rep 7. Could've channeled the inner didelydoo and got a 13

Diddlydoo would have got 20, momentarily died, resuscitated himself and got another 4 grinders.

Bloody accurate as well!
