Lockdown Day 91. Still no abs.

Lazy off day yesterday, and just a run for today. This is Week 7 Day 2, so just a straight 20 minute run. I had rubbery legs before I got started, so was a bit worried…and yeah, it basically sucked from start to finish. Just one of those days.

20 minutes (no warmup or cooldown)
3.85 km
All 20 minutes running, no walks.

5 minutes 12 seconds on the pace per kilometer (8.22 per mile), which is actually a little faster than I was probably aiming for. That might explain some of the suck. Sitting here right now trying to figure out if it is worth trying to complete the last 4 days of this program.

Lockdown Day 92. Still no abs.

Shoulder day, but just a bunch of HSPUs today. Mixed in a lot of curls and some reverse delt stuff.

Handstand Push-Up

  • 5 reps
  • 6 reps
  • 7 reps
  • 8 reps
  • 9 reps
  • 10 reps
  • 11 reps
  • 12 reps
  • 13 reps
  • 14 reps
  • 15 reps
  • 10 reps
  • 10 reps

I kinda like alternating between this and the barbell. These seem a little better at targeting the upper back parts.

      • 5 reps
      • 8 reps
      • 10 reps
      • 12 reps
      • 12 reps

    • Barbell Corner Row

      • 10 kg x 10 reps
      • 15 kg x 10 reps
      • 20 kg x 10 reps
      • 25 kg x 10 reps
      • 30 kg x 10 reps
      • 35 kg x 10 reps

    • Ab Wheel (standing)

      • 3 reps
      • 3 reps

    • Upright Barbell Row

      • 27 kg x 12 reps

      • 27 kg x 12 reps
      • 27 kg x 12 reps
      • 27 kg x 12 reps

The uprights with a very wide grip are money. Sorta halfway between an upright and a regular BB row.

Going to run in a minute, as soon as I can figure how much and/or for how long.

Ultimately decided to skip Week 7 Day 3 (20 minute run, 3 walk, 5 more run) and go straight to Week 8 Day 1…which is just a straight 25 minute run. The walking periods are kinda bullshit at this point, so if I am going to do it, I am just going to do it. Deliberately slowed the pace down from last time (which was too quick), and it made all the difference. Never had any problem, and had plenty left in the tank at the end.

25 minutes (no warmup or cooldown)
4.33 km
All 25 minutes running, no walks.

5 minutes 46 seconds on the pace per kilometer (9.18 per mile). So quite slow, but I wanted to find a pace that I could keep up for 5k if I wanted to.

Sounds to me more like he just needs to step up and do the full 5km in 25 mins.

Was really more just a commentary about the benefit of going slower.

Other factors involved: Felt better today than compared to last time, and also the weather was actually nice for once.

This is absolutely NOT on my To Do list. 30 minutes or less would be fine.

Are you sure I can’t bait you into it? You’re old and fat and need to prove yourself remember, you would gain significant e-kudos/man card bonus points/adoring fans (take your pick whichever appeals the most).

Are you a (presumably hot) mean app lady?

Old, yes, but not fat any more. But more importantly, I don’t have any interesting in running that fast for that long. Don’t think you can bait me into that one.

I honestly hope you do not think that Not Being Fat and Not Having a 6 Pack are mutually exclusive.

Nah, not like fat fat. But I did put on quite a bit on the journey towards the 90 kilo press. I am positively svelt now in comparison.

And you still can’t run 5km in 25 mins.
