Re: SmileyEH\'s Log
and i thought living in montana was the middle of nowhere. yikes.
i am amazed at some of the things you are strong at. it is like we are from opposite land and i am jealous. very jealous. i am interested in your thoughts on tabata. i just did "tabata everything" or "something" or whatever the cfwod was last week and thought it was awesome and a total asskicker for a 16 min. wo. i have taken to wearing a 20lb. weight vest during my cf warm up and some of my cardio activities and think that is has been a good way to ramp up the intensity. maybe that might be a little twist that you could use for some of your stuff......sorry i couldn't come up with anything else. i am also interested in what program you come up with or go on. my cf cert is in a couple of weeks, maybe i will come back with something super sweet to have you guinea pig for me.

Drag setting of 5-7 (it moved somehow while I did this). [/ QUOTE ] I think you mean damper. You can check the drag via the computer. I think a damper around 4-5 usually gives a drag between 100-140. There's some info here: http://www.concept2.com/us/support/m...lus/level3.asp [ QUOTE ] In any case I can add collapsing into a sobbing heaving wreck with my feet still strapped in as another gym activity sure to make me look like a retard. [/ QUOTE ] Flopping around, trying to dismount sideways and wondering how the hell do I get out of this thing because your brain has momentarily become oblivious to the need to unstrap your feet. Jesus, I'm trapped here. It won't let go. |

Since December I've added 50lbs to my dl, so about 10 lbs a month and I didn't train it continuously-very happy with the results. Hopefully I can still lift over the summer and get 405 by September. [/ QUOTE ] Skimmed through and I haven't seen you hit this yet. 5x350 and this should be no problem for you. I'm calling you out, get this done within the next couple days if you haven't already [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] |

Haha, thanks for the kind words J.
[ QUOTE ] i am interested in your thoughts on tabata. [/ QUOTE ] Was pretty sweet for rowing - will definitely do it again. Having a clock staring at you makes it super easy. I don't know about other things, I'm sure it's effective but it seems tricky to do without a partner. [ QUOTE ] my cf cert is in a couple of weeks, maybe i will come back with something super sweet to have you guinea pig for me. [/ QUOTE ] Sweet thanks! I'm sure it will be an awesome time. Also, please wear a Hilary in '08 shirt or something similar? Bonus points if you call Coach Glassman a fattie. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Heh, I haven't done the CF warmup in months...another habit I need to get back into. |

I've tried all the settings and I think I'm fastest on 10, but a rowing friend said that it's nothing like the real thing at that setting and recommended 2 or 3. I usually just compromise. |

I actually tried 405 last week with no warmup and weighing about 8lbs less than I do right now. Obv. failed miserably, but I still have hope. I promise to try saturday-if not then next wednesday. |

Re: SmileyEH\'s Log
Smiley,
would an obama shirt be an okay compromise? btw what is the general thoughts on both glassman and rippetoe being, well, hmm, how can i put this delicately....FATTIES!! lol i don't know jack about the fitness industry or lifting circles or any of the t-nation type gossip so that one did make me curious. oh and do people hate on mike mentzer (sp?) i did hear that once and was curious as to why. sorry if these are silly questions for your thread. i never tried tabata w/o a partner but i hear seiko makes a timer that is super easy to set up to give you tabata intervals with a warning beep and everything. if i find it i will post a link in this thread. oh and do the warmup so i don't have to hear of any more injuries. k? later.

Mentzer is a HIT jedi and a tool.
