Fat Moz's training log
Posted: Tue Aug 30, 2016 8:03 am
Well 46 and getting back into training after time off due to laziness and real ale, was in the forces many moons ago and looking to join back up in the reserves, infantry previously and looking at the medic side now. Range of sports in previous years and have been reasonably strong and fit at different times in the past but only ever came together when I did crossfit over ten years ago.
Well so far into second BB session after finishing first one early due to motorcycle accident, did a 6 week operator block and had two week gap before I went on hols for two weeks so figured would do another BB (well a four week one) as I felt I needed more work on my aerobic side. Didn't restart my first BB due to concussion problems but felt I could manage steady weight sessions.
6 week Block
Operator SQ/Floor Press/WPU/DL
Initial weights were done with just walking up to the bar with no warm ups and seeing how the weights felt, have a few problems with knees, hip and shoulder so wanted to use this block as a bedding in process as I am now thinking long term goals, thanks TB
Floor Press 80kgx2
Squat 80kgx2
DL 95kg x 3
WPU 20kg x2
At the end felt pretty solid on all the lifts apart from weighted pull ups; next block will do as prescribed and do WPU twice per week with DL once, and add clean and press
When I felt well enough went introduced HiC mainaly Hill running (working towards apex) and 3.5 mile sandbag runs.
Overall definately felt fitter and stronger, I did not test my one rep max this is something I will do when I restart Operator in 3 weeks when back from Hols, this may sound a bit strange but I was more than happy with how I felt. Something TB has given me is to think long term and as long as I am doing something I know I am progressing.
Into second week of my 4 week BB the first week consisted off speed walking on a treadmill, now i never thought i'd be doing that a few years ago
attached to a HR monitor, speeds gone up from 4.9 to average 5.5-5.6. Did this 5 times last week with SE PU/Dips/thrusters and for stomach a pilates move.
The back end of last week thanks to j-madds Apex article started using SS and loving it. Sunday finished with 5.5 run on a beach slow and steady.
This week pretty much the same until holiday on Saturday when I will be swimming for an hour each day and doing whatever I can SE wise, as you can tell wont be a purist routine while away but it will all be working towards the same goal.
