Was going to ask if you swim up or downstream. Looks like both. Thatā€™s some impressive work! The 40 reps at 225 is also impressive.

I usually go with the flow going out so Iā€™ve got to go against it coming back. Like to be warmed up before swimming against it.

Swim - 2000m/run 2 mi
About a month til leaving. Gonna pick up the pace and distance on swimming. Biggest difference here is donā€™t get much wave action in the river like the ocean. No sharks, either.

Well, if there are no sharks, itā€™s hardly worth it, is it?

No sharks here, saltwater crocs ate them all.

Read a lengthy discussion the other day, not on TNation, on how beginning at the magic age 35 people should never lift 2 days in a row and should rest even more between work outs the older they get. The consensus seem to be the more advanced your age youā€™re just wasting your workouts if done to frequently. It didnā€™t really get in to lifting followed by non lifting type workouts. So it seems Iā€™m just wasting many of my workouts and even negating others. Canā€™t win. Cā€™est la vie. Couch, here I come.

Iā€™ve been ignoring crap like that for decades now.

Someone always is preaching the ā€œmustsā€ in lifting. Recovery, like most things, is individual. I donā€™t trust anyone who lumps everyone together and puts lines in the sand of what must be done.

To many variables.

Nice lifting!
