Biceps were tight tonight after the log cleans yesterday. Big arm pump by the end. Good session overall.
Deloading for the rest of this week. I decided not to train tonight and spent 1 hour washing the car instead. Always love being outside after a day in the office and I love a clean car too.
this is the definition of CARDIO!
LOL yes it was definitely a lung burner
The good the bad and the ugly tonight. This was my last workout as a 48 year old. The weights were good, it felt great to just do some light pump work. The echo bike was bad, those intervals really flog me. The ugly was me hobbling around after the intervals with a massive quad pump, snot running out of my nose, trying to gulp down breath.

Lat pull downs
50 x 12 x 4 sets
Cable row

Slow down full stretch then fast up. Super easy, Good pump.
Echo bike
3 min warm up
Then 20/10 tabata intervals.
Lungs and legs screaming at the end. FK
Yuck…
Happy birthday.
Ahh, the devils tricycle does it again.
Good work
you are not wrong with that name, there is no way to use that thing and it be nice. If you go slow it feels stiff and awkward to pedal, if you get it to a comfortable pace you run out of oxygen.
I have this way of dealing with it, where I just don’t use them.

Happy Birthday Simo!!!
Happy birthday! :]
Happy birthday again simo!
Birthday conditioning
Farmers carry 20 meter drop and turn 20 meter
Frame x 2 - done
60 x 2 runs - done
70 x 4 runs - (70kg - 154lbs each hand) -
Stopped at 4 runs, it was cold and a raining and my calves were getting really tight. Last farmers before comp, pick ups felt a little slow (they always do) but the foot speed was really good.
Finished off with tabata on the Echo bike again. The quad pump is insane but the misery is worse.
You wished more happiness than my family ![]()
