Christ I hate the core strength exercises! I’m shit at them and they make me hurt
I know they are necessary, but they’re still shit
Had a spar with a young whippersnaper last night, and he knocked my gum shield clean out of my mouth .
For some reason after exercises and training last night, I woke up with tennis elbow?
Might have to focus on a bit of foot work on Friday evening, to give the arms a rest. ____________________ I am the sum total of my own existence, what went before makes me who I am now! |

Um, can I join in here? I've been lurking about for a long time without finding the erm, courage to post but this is my kind of thread...
Although somewhat stricken in years I do love me a good workout I train at least four times a week, a mixture of lifting, Crossfit style stuff and Cave.
I've a few targets that I'd like to reach this year, including hitting 100kg for my DL. Unassisted pullups are also on the list. And being able to do an overhead squat without feeling like I'm performing strange contortions and looking like I'm about to fall over backwards ... |

yes, you can join, hello and welcome. For years, we have had an annual health and fitness thread each one titled for the corresponding year, but for some reason didn't start a 2019 one. I was a lard arse when I first ventured into one.
I can deadlift 100k, not sure I'm doing it right. I have an olympic barbell and about 140k of weight. Can do just a couple of pull ups on the handles on my squat rack, did once get up to 5 or 6, but neflected them.
Overhead squat, I think I can do them. Hold the barbell overhead, like the top of a clean and jerk and then squat? Can only do 40kilos though.
Today I cycled 50miles. Got to lead a trail ride all day tomorrow. |

Thanks! I've got a bar and weights at home too, but do most of my workouts in the gym as I don't have a squat rack so heavy squats and suchlike aren't possible as I can't get under the bar. And, I think that if you can get 100kg off the ground you are (hopefully) probably doing it fairly OK else your lower back may be telling you otherwise.. Yep, OH squat is just as you described - it's a pretty challenging move and I've only just started to do it so it's the empty bar for me at the moment.
50 miles is an impressive distance - how long did that take? I've a bike but it sits in the shed and rusts quietly. Hope that today turns out a good day for riding
Last night was bench then a WOD of deads, front squats and floor press 10-1. Got it done in 11 mins 47, I was fairly pleased with that |

When I tell my none cycling friends what I do they are genuinely impressed, but put me with the cycling club I'm in and I'm very average. The club race team, I can't keep up with them on a training ride.
Trail ride was awesome, I'm pretty beat now.
Oh, I used to do floor presses, before I got my squat rack, but I couldn't do enough weight, then I did floor presses using my squat rack. Now I have a bench, It's not secure enough for proper weight, but I'd never try for much over 60kilo anyway |
I'll join the ranks of the impressed - that sounds like a pretty good time to me And am also envious of the squat rack, it is top of my wish list - along with a shed in which to use it...
Today was a PT session - pullups, bent over rows, landmine rows and suchlike. Oooh, me back... |

Got some "proper" cycle shoes now, that clip in. not hard core though, the pedals are Shimano commuter style, clips one side flat pedals the other, and the cleats on the Shimano shoes are MTB style set into the sole to make it easier to walk.
But I've never been "clipped in" before, did a 16mile ride today, including my cycle clubs 10 mile Time Trial route. Got second ever fastest time on that, and a string of PBs on some of the sections.
Shoe definitely making a difference, they are so hard, that I'm not wasting energy compressing the soles like with trainers.
Then tonight went out with my running club, stepped up from group 1 - 5k to group 2 4miles plus optional extras. Hoping to get back up to group 4, which is 10k at 8 to 9 minute miles by the time the clocks go forward. Could probably do it now, but then I'm worried I'd pick up an injury, so will take it slowly. Doubt I'll ever get into group 5 which is 10k at least 8min miles, as this is basically my race day pace.
Did 150 squats last night (no weights), could've done more easily, but I was trying to keep my arms out stretched and they were starting to tire. |

I've just had 3 days sick, and now 3 days doing my walk/jog again. On the first one, I was dismayed to find that I had been knocked back to square one, but by today, back into it and even beginning to find I can push the jogging bits for a little further each time. Considering how short a time I've been trying this for, that pleases me
In the running shoes now, as the path has dried out quite a bit - a bit easier, but not that much over the hiking boots I use when it's wet and muddy. Likely to be back to the boots after Saturday, going by the forecast.
I keep seeing people out jogging/running properly and get very jealous! ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

Not such a bad training session today .
I missed Friday’s session as I had other stuff to do.
I thought that today would be hard after missing the previous session, but it wasn’t to bad at all.
Two sparing bouts and I can still see straight
No core strength training tonight. I know that’s coping out but for me , happy days ____________________ I am the sum total of my own existence, what went before makes me who I am now! |

I miss sparring. Though I telegraphed so much, my partners had no trouble blocking me.
Skipped run club last night, as I had a rather busy Deliveroo session yesterday lunch time. Also did the longest distance single drop ever 13 mile round trip. I was at just about the furthest point north, and they wanted me to pick up a KFC and take it to just about the furthest point south, but not from the nearest KFC, the one on the retail park to the east. So it was a 10 mile journey just to pick up and drop the food off, and then another 3 miles back into town centre. Then when my booking session finished, I logged onto Uber and did my first ever orders for them.
Was windy, but not as mad as Sunday night when I was fighting the wind out of town, heading back carrying the big food courier pack acting like a sail, I was easily hitting the 30pmh speed limit. |

Weather has been crap for the last few days, so no walk/jog
However, good workout today, including a total of 160 push-ups (in sets of 20, interspersed with all the other exercises) - most I've ever done in a day, I think; I don't think even beastings in Lau Gar classes, or later in RAF basic training got to that number, and all with this dodgy arm and shoulder
Might even manage a bit more later this evening. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 5 years, 49 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
