Raven78's on the set of the Living Dead

Looking good in here. Several good sessions. Glad to see someone else doing LISS (incline treadmill). Thought I was the only one that did that nowadays. :joy: I would prefer to run, but my feet just won’t handle the abuse. I have a treadmill in the garage that pretty much stays set at 15% Incline and I walk on it several times per week. I usually do mine as a warmup for 10-20 minutes before a lifting session. I also sub it in for almost any form of cardio in metcons. Low impact/Moderate-High Intensity. That works well right now. There is a nice shelf right above it so I can set the laptop up there and do work while walking on it. Can’t go wrong. Stay after it my friend. :+1:t2: :+1:t2:

-squats moved well, getting the volume in.
-thanks @burien_top_team appreciate it
-recent training blocks generally bringing in some LISS or SSC at the end, often after some conditioning… @TM79 so the idea is to mobilise the fat stores in the conditioning then burn some of it off in the lower HR cardio at the end. Also a good time to catchup on sport highlights or some news on the machines at the gym as they have screens built in.

-getting the work done, 11 squat sets in 30mins, a tad more rest between sets than planned.
-I’ve never moved that much weight myself ever @fitguy442002 so that reads impressive to me for sure.
-2 tonne of stone wall and steps completed thus far, clocked over 12k steps each day over the weekend too.

@fitguy442002 where’s your training log for us to like!?

That is a good question I have read many of your workouts and others and never taken the time to post mine on here I’m not really sure why but I do do a full body routine three days a week all concentrated around three compound movements and then all the rest or accessories all workouts take me approximately 1 hour and then I walk for 2 miles I also bike quite a bit mountain biking I mean but if you like I can start posting my workout I’m flattered

-played around with under and overhand grip on lat pull down early (lighter weight), not wanting to flare up the upper arm/elbow zone.
-main work completed in under 25mins so shorter rests. 4th rep ohp hitting fatigue levels but doable. just.
