Your Garmin 410 does all that, plus a quick excel spreadsheet and you have everything you need.

So all that training and weights, and your not fit enough to play a round of golf :wow:

 

[Drift]

Haha nice try, I was definitely fit enough to do one of those but not both.

Big chest and back workout tonight, feeling pretty good about it. I decided not to train yesterday due to a 44 degree heat in my garage and I thought it would not be beneficial to try and work through that.

4 sets of the following workouts:
Eccentric pull ups (6 seconds down) x 6
Dumbbell flys 10kg x 12, 10kg x 12, 5kg x 12, 5kg x 12
Bench press 30kg x 21, 30kg x 19, 25kg x 25, 25kg x 23

Deadlift 70kg x 6, 75kg x 6, 80kg x 6, 85kg x 4
Kettlebell renegade row 20kg x 12, 20kg x 10, 20kg x 8, 20kg x 7
Bent over row 25kg x 25, 30kg x 25, 30kg x 25, 30kg x 25


Legs session tomorrow so will be interesting to see how I go, also doing a sprint session tomorrow night. Pre-season training with the association starts in a couple of weeks so will be interesting to see how that goes as well.

I actually tried to get part of my workouts in the heat in August in Houston (similar temperatures at 1-3 PM to Oz right now) so that I'd actually be prepared for hot weather matches. That being said, this was several months into the season!

5x5 box squats today loading up to 255 lbs on the last set, then 5 rounds of a 40m suicide, 15 DLs @ 135# with the FatBar, 40m sled push @135#, and then a 40m heavy atlas ball carry. 15 mins and now I cant walk down stairs. Boomtown.

Could be worse; it could be August. It was only 20C today.

 

[Drift]

Sounds like a good workout. Did my usual legs session this morning and will be doing "Fran" tonight as a conditioning tool.

Front Squats 50x6, 45x6, 45x6
Lunges with plate overhead 20x10, 15x12, 15x10
Back Squat 30x20, 20x18, BWx30

Thrusters 40x6, 40x6, 35x6
Good Morning 30x12, 25x10, 20x12
Calf Raises BWx25, BWx25, BWx30

 

[Drift]

Saturday's session:
Eccentric chin ups BWx6, BWx6, BWx6, BWx6,
Dumbbell flys 10x12, 10x12, 15x12, 10x12

Deadlift 60x6, 65x6, 65x6, 60x6

Still pretty sore from it but I am back in there tonight doing legs and arms. I am also holding out to buy one of these:

Also just bought some Vibram Five Finger KSOs over the weekend, I am looking forward to some "barefoot" running.

 

[Robert Burns]

What is the top thing?

 

[Drift]

Power sled, for dragging while sprinting.

Don't you have kids?

Tie them to your belt and tell them that cartoons are on the TV and if they can pull you to it they can watch them, then proceed to try and run away! :biggrin:

Sshhh, supposed to be a secret ...



That's why he drags lumps of steel around the backyard.

Nope, what gave you that idea? My mum keeps telling me that if/when I reproduce it will be in an insult to the human race.
