Grouchyjarhead Training

Thanks VC. It’s coming along but no PT allowed yet.

I’ve been running a lot to make up for it. Nothing too exciting but I did try a VO2 max bleep test today for the first time. I made it to 8.1 before I missed a lap so my VO2 max is rated as Above Average for my age group. Not bad but could be better.

6 mile run in about 71 minutes. A bit tired today but got it in.

Yesterday I ran 3 miles in about 33 minutes. Evening runs always tend to be slow it seems.

Today - Easy 10 minute run followed by two rounds of treadmill Tabata sprints at 2%, speed approx 80% VO2 max. Need to increase speed next time, this wasn’t bad at all.

I was going to run 7 today. Yesterday afternoon I saw there was an 8.1 mile race for today so I decided what the heck, let’s do this. Finished in about 1:23 and had a great time.

Officially cleared for all barbell work so let’s do this. Started in a great new gym after last place unfortunately closed doors. Starting light to prevent any back/bicep aggravation so comfortable and painless work sets is the goal. Power cleans 95, bench 105, squats 155.

Undecided about bench, felt a bit on the last set. Three is definitely too long - my goal today was knock out the lifts, do some TGUs, and then some low impact cardio until the top of the hour. I was pushing it a bit for the last two. Going to get presses and front squats a whirl Friday.
