Another brief update - work has been too busy to log full workouts

Thursday 28/05/09

Deadlifts 110kg x 3 x 3

Apparently there is a rule with the guys I train with. If one of your lifts goes up - they all have to. Oh - bench gona be interesting tonight!!

[runveerun]

So come for a training!!!

OK!! :grin:

[teamfatboy]

Come on Flamer, we KNOW you've got at least a 47.5kg bench, if not 50kg, fo' sure!

Sweet - I guess I'll come to you - since you got no car & I'm out south!

Come on Flamer, we KNOW you've got at least a 47.5kg bench, if not 50kg, fo' sure!

Shoulda stuck to 47.5kg - 'cause 50kg was UGLY. Failed on the first, re-set, got the second & third.

Will see how this week pans out. Actually made it out on the road on my bike over the weekend. So, Round Taupo training has oficially begun - DAMN it was cold. As a result thoough, hip flexors are feeling pretty fatigued. Squat tonight - not expecting much.

[teamfatboy]

They may have been ugly, but you got them up there! Next time, with good form, and on towards 55 :clap:

Training in the cold for Taupo's good prep. The year I did it, it didn't get above 12deg all damn day - and I was out there all damn day! I haven't been out on a bike in the fresh air for ages - and it would have been a good day to do it today. I might sneak it into the office for lunchtimes.

I think you said, but are you doing the full 160 yourself?

Good luck with the squats!

Thanks for the vote of confidence - but I think 55kg is a while away yet!

Yeah, I think it was about 12 degrees (maybe) over the weekend. And, yip - I'm stupid enough to be going for the full 164km!!

lol - nothing of much excitment - sadly. Got my 110kg for 3, but I seem to get stuck at the bottom on the first and nail the 2nd & 3rd :crazy:

Anyway, new week next week and will see if I can at least go up 2.5kg.

I'm Back!!!

Still been liftin the iron, but was also training for the Round Taupo Cycle Challenge. It was a real effort to get back into an endurance event.

For those not familiar with The Round Taupo - it's essentially a 160km cycle, predominantly uphill!

Saturday 28th Nov

160km in cold and wet conditions - 6 hours 11 mins - happy with that. Still had gas to sprint the finish, and was feeling A-OK Sunday morning. not stiff, not sore, just great in fact.

What's next for Flamer??? Still to find my next challenge, although I am considering the Auckland Half Ironman (March 2010).

In the meantime - I think I have just enough time to do a quick mini cut to find some lean curves for summer........WATCH THIS SPACE!

[teamfatboy]

Heya Flamer - great to hear you knocked it off :clap: :notworthy: :clap:

I heard the weather was a complete swine... nothing like losing the feeling in your fingers on some of those long, slippery wet downhills, eh!

In 2005, it never got above 12... I have NEVER spent so long in a hot tub as I did when I got back to the motel that day. The curry that night was especially welcome

Good luck - boxing the day after shoulders :think: :clap:
