Ooooh, I am reminded of - what did we call them? That 350 rep scheme or whatever. 340? Anyway, I love this style of working, think I will re-introduce it to my own stuff.

Yes I kinda based it on that but changed the reps scheme a little. It’s really just 3 or 4 hard sets. Just like we did back in the 90’s

Yeah, three or four hard sets, but with a target to hit. Have to be a little tactical. Fun.

Damn good session. Proper old school sets and reps.
After I had finished bench and rows a gentleman a little older than me who was using a bench next to me came over. “Excuse me” he says. “Hope you don’t mind me saying but your work on those sets was really good. Very impressive”.
Of course I didn’t mind at all, always nice to get an unsolicited compliment. I said thankyou of course and then played it down as we tend to do.

Strongman Saturday conditioning
Tire drag and arm over arm.
Drag the tire 10m then run back and pull the tire back arm over arm with my new rope.
10 rounds of this. I kept these pretty light today, just had the 28KG sandbag in the tire.
This was a great recovery session. Got some blood moving through the legs, back and arms.

I wish I had half of your drive.

I think you have plenty of drive and are doing really well. On here or social media you only see small snippets. What you don’t see is me putting this off all morning and making excuses. Then finally putting my big boy pants on and getting some work done.

You aren’t alone in that!

Fair. But I’m about 90% sure that I would drag the tire, run back, sit down, then call out to my husband that he’s gonna have to go get the tire cause I’m done.

OMG I feel that. I get up every morning, put on my workout clothes and then sit in my chair drinking coffee until I force my ass downstairs to the gym.

Same, sometimes I’ll up the ante and use a highly caffeinated pre-workout with other things that make your face tingle, that way if I missed the session I’d have to sit there all tingly and twitchy.

That’s awesome! Now you can either go burn it off or tingle for an hour.
