Thanks man. LoL at the new thrust machine. Those things rarely fit me right. I end up just using the old barbell. Not sure it works any better than lunges or squats though.

I worked at my job on Saturday from 5 AM to 3:00 PM. I got away at lunch and did a 30 minute gym bike ride.
Sunday was a Peloton Ride
45 minute power zone ride
13.68 miles
364 KJ output.
600 ish cals
Blood work came back from a full panel I sent out. Not going to go to much into it, but I did find some interesting stuff. I found out my body isn’t processing B vitamins. So Since yesterday I started taking an under the tongue b vitamin. I feel a ton better just doing that. There is more but I haven’t talked to the Dr. yet to go over all of it. Nothing seriously wrong found that can’t be fixed with some meds and some supplements.

Solid work on the bike ride and the session today. Interesting about the B vitamin thing and your blood work. I wonder what is causing that? That’s great that you are getting relief just from taking a supplement. Glad to hear that nothing is seriously wrong too.

Thanks Trent. My sister has this issue too. I think it could be genetic mutation called the MTHFR mutation. Also known as the mothfawker mutation. Anyway, I plan to go ahead and get tested for it, it is a 200 dollar test to confirm. If I have it, good chance my son might have it also.

Tuesday
Peloton
45 minutes
This was a different ride. Had intervals of 30 seconds zone 6 with 3:30 zone four work and the 3 minute recovery.
I need to switch it up so I plan on doing an endurance which is low intensity, then a normal zone ride like today which is medium and then a high intensity ride. Cycle them like that to try to bring my my base up some.
100 push ups.

Solid work on that ride Shane. I didn’t even know there was a zone 6. LOL 
Yeah, IMO it is good to do conditioning at various levels of intensity. Probably makes you in better overall shape and the variety is much needed for me.

Thanks Trent. Yeah, the zones on the peloton are for effort, 1-7, and I also have my heart rate zones, 1-5.
Agreed on mixing it up.

Nice last two sessions Shane. Solid upper body work yesterday. Glad you were able to get the sauna in too. Then a good showing on the stairs. That is one exercise that continues to baffle me. When I’m in the gym, on the stair climber, I’m like, “alright, cool, let’s pound some stairs!” And I am doing good. In real life, when I have to walk up a bunch of stairs, I’m like, “man, f#$% this!” I guess it is all about mind set. Lol

Thanks Trent. Those stairs definitely get the sweat pouring for me, so if I was walking that hard up stairs to go somewhere, it would definitely be because I was being chased. LoL.

Sunday peloton
10 minute warm up
20 minute FTP test
10 minute cool down.
My zones were starting to feel too easy on my zone rides so I decided to do an FTP, functional threshold power test again.
I was able to add 31 points to my FTP. Zone rides going forward should be more challenging.

Nice job on the Peloton test. Glad you were able to add to your points. I hear you on the stairs. Think we are on the same page as far as that is concerned.

Good looking session. Straight up manly sets on DB bench. The rest looked good too, and a little sauna time to finish it up! 
Nice job!
