You told me you just did clean and jerks?
Lol, happens all the time. I just had a mate who smashed a half-century with three bulging discs in his back.I went to physio today. He told me I should be right to play cricket this weekend.
I didn't tell him I've played the last 2 weeks.
Soft.Went out for a weighted run (45kg rucksack) this morning but at the 35km mark felt a slight calf pull. Had been doing 3:00 kms until then.
Changed tack and trained inside after that. Did 2x bodyweight chins (TT held on to me like a koala to provide the load (ahem)) for about 10 sets.
Felt there was still a bit left in the tank after that so threw in a superset of squats and deadlifts. Olympic bar, 200kg in plates slapped on. Thought I was moving it a bit too ballistically so added some bands just to "keep it honest".
Don't actually own a squat rack so cleaned it up and overhead for the squat sets. That probably took at least 50% off what I could've used for the work sets.
Finished with a 55 minute high intensity kickboxing circuit as a warm-down.

Yeah Clokey is good mates with Chuck Norris. s**t Chuck had the best time up Alton Road Mount Macedon for years on Strava. Even Mitch Docker couldn't keep up with him. :stern lookEverytime someone mentions Strava I think of Arthur Cloke. I'd never heard of it before that.
He's a machine. They both are - Clokey and Chuck Norris.Yeah Clokey is good mates with Chuck Norris. sh*t Chuck had the best time up Alton Road Mount Macedon for years on Strava. Even Mitch Docker couldn't keep up with him. :stern look
TBH I think the best thing is to get the bike and get riding. I'd get clip in pedals, a not-too-expensive computer and not worry about the rest for now. Bikes can be a bottomless pit of money as there's always an upgrade you can make. Indoor bike training is boring AF. I reckon most indoor trainers sit there gathering dust (mine certainly does) and it's actually decent weather for riding outside. I'm not sure about the need for a V02 / lactate test on the bike. i don't know how you can accurately replicate them without measuring power and, unless it has changed recently, that is expensive. Get some ks in and make friends with some hills.To all the cyclists out there, what should I be investing in (apart from a carbon fibre bike in the future)
For Christmas I am getting just a basic road bike. I was looking at getting Garmin edge 130 plus, any suggestions on better ones?
because the road bike I am going to get doesn’t have the clip pedals should I get them now?
also I was thinking to maximise my training is to get a VO2 and Lactate test done, I have been watching a lot of Cam Nicholls and the place he goes to both tests combined costs around $200. It will also give me a range of my training zones instead of roughly estimating.
should I also invest in a indoor trainer? For like zwift?
That it is.Absolute day for it today
Cool. A bit of gravel shouldn't hurt your wheels (unless it leads to crashing). I guess you can get some between your brake pads and the rim but it'll come out. Please post more of your rides. Might inspire me to get back on my bike. Also need to run more, swim more and especially recover / rehab more.I went on my first bike ride with my road bike!
it was a short 20min ride just to get used to the breaks, gears and riding on the road. Tbh it was daunting but luckily there weren’t cars on the road.
I kinda stuffed my wheels a bit breaking in gravel
Yeah it was just downhill so I don’t wanna wear them out too quickly.Cool. A bit of gravel shouldn't hurt your wheels (unless it leads to crashing).

That’s a great effortA quick shoutout to our BF poster thumping who set his sights on improving his fitness on NYE 2020 and has successfully lost 30kg in 12 months.
I have a rough plan of my late pre season training lol, not very organised this season partly because I’m doing 38+ hours per week and in the last 3 weeks or 2 I’ve only had 2 days off which was Christmas Day and last Wednesday.
my rough plan consists of 3 running sessions and 2 bike sessions with 2/3 gym sessions? Not too sure yet.
Running: 2 base training sessions trying to regain my tank and a speed session.
bike: not too sure, waiting to get paid and will sus out an indoor smart trainer and set up swift. Watched a lot of swift videos lately and it just looks appealing and right up my alley.
gym: following a program from prepare like a pro
Fairly confident that I can get to my best before the pre season starts but I’m a bit underdone because of my ankle.
Thanks mate, same here but I need discipline and it’s okay we can smash itGood luck mate. I find I really struggle balancing running/gym/work
Also managed to bring my 2km time trial down to 8:20.
