What is Steel, Compared to the Flesh That Wields It?
Re: What is Steel, Compared to the Flesh That Wields It?
Ran 55 minutes outside today, felt pretty good. Gonna get some more GTG pull-ups tonight, I'll post up the final tally when I'm done.

Took yesterday off, but still knocked out 7 sets of 5 pull-ups, GTG yesterday and Tuesday.
Did 60 min on the treadmill today, 6.17 miles, 1% grade. It's getting easier to get long distances done, feels good.
I've been GTGing pull-ups today, I'll post up the final tally for today later.

Only got 20 pull-ups yesterday, and 25 today(sets of 5, GTG); I owe the universe 5 more sets tomorrow.
Knocked out the SE 3x50 tonight. Holy hell, what a ball buster. Those goblet squats are my kryptonite.
I'm planning to get my baseline lifts done tomorrow for the max strength days in week 6-8 of B.B.

I'm really enjoying watching your log. I looks like you're having a great base! Keep it up.

+1. I came here for the Conan quote, stayed for the consistency and self-motivation. Well done.J-Madd wrote:Yesterday wasn't a great day in my pull-up world either!Nick wrote:Only got 20 pull-ups yesterday, and 25 today(sets of 5, GTG); I owe the universe 5 more sets tomorrow.

Thanks, guys, I appreciate it. Did 5sets of 5 GTG, but didn't get to test my lifts for BB week 6/Fighter.
Fox, I'm a big Conan fan. Conan on calling for divine intervention, from "Queen of the Black Coast"
Belit: "What of your own gods? I have never heard you call on them."
Conan: "Their chief is Crom. He dwells on a great mountain. What use to call on him? Little he cares if men live or die. Better to be silent than to call his attention to you; he will send you dooms, not fortune! He is grim and loveless, but at birth he breathes power to strive and slay into a man's soul. What else shall men ask of the gods?"

Re: What is Steel, Compared to the Flesh That Wields It?
Knocked out 5 sets of 6 GTG pull-ups last night.
Did 10 hill repeats this morning (HIC #10). It was supposed to be short hills, but each repeat was about 62-68 seconds long. Last one was 71 sec, 'cause I was all tuckered out.
I'll post up my GTG pull-ups when I'm done.

Re: What is Steel, Compared to the Flesh That Wields It?
First day of lifting again after almost two months. Using the Fighter template for the last three weeks of BB. I think I'm going to roll into Green when I'm done BB, so I will probably end up staying on fighter.
Felt good, not too hard. Waiting 2 minutes between sets was a test of patience.

Ran 55 minutes outside today. My sister is visiting from the states and she's a big marathoner so I ran with her today. Also, since I'm on leave, I got to run in the middle of the day, when the sun is up: double win!
