Another 1hr 22m on the turbo last night on W3 D2 of some Zwift FTP builder. Something like:

5x (1:50@155W -> 10s @ 470W) for 3 sets.

Interesting having the turbo in ERG mode because it can't really cope too well with even an out-of-condition squatter. :D

Session wasnt too hard at all, but very loooooong. :o

ERG mode is dreamy. Until you get in to a death spiral of fatigue.

Resistance goes up, cadence goes down, resistance continues to go up to compensate, cadence decreases further. Eventual death.

Where as a regular trainer would just see VP decline.

Yes - it leaves me scrabbling for the *toast* button. :D

Didn't feel impressive... :o

FRONT SQUAT 40*8, 60*3, 80*3, 72.5*8
DBSS BW*10, 20*6, 20*12/5/5

Then a roll around Watopia for 10 minutes "resting" at 233W with 10s sprints every 1m50s... weirdly, my legs weren't up to much. :D

So little time for gains...

HANG SNATCH (8-5-5-5) BAR-40-40-40 Oooooh... that felt gooooooooood. First time in nearly 10 months!
SNATCH HIGH PULL (8-3-1) 80 So weak... needs moar.
CHINUP (8-3-3) BW Better than last time...
BROCEPS (*)

A few minutes on the turbo @ftp to celebrate a clean tubular tyre mount!

Did some strict press the other day... 40kg for three sets of 10. I am unbelievably weak.

DEADLIFT (AMRAP) 60(5)-100(3)-135(8) Harder than it should have been. Much harder!
SAR (12+6) 20

Shoulder is definitely not happy as a result of some recent pushups, but at least it is a different part of my shoulder... :p

FRONT SQUAT (6-6-8) 40-60-77.5 Considering I only managed 80kg for 3 last week, this wasnt too bad.
DBSS (10-10-12) BW-20-32 Moar strength, less hypertrophy...

Ewwww... cycled into work this morning with a 20-30km/h headwind and my legs are fried, To be fair, however, it was faster than the last time I did it and with a lower heart rate, so I'm giong to count that as progress (after a fashion).

Having a tail wind was nice... apparently I am fourth fastest of everybody that does my commute based on Strava (which I think is wrong). :confused:

Topped out at 30mph, however... :cool:

Managed a commute into work on the bike (Tuesday), and tried to get a Zwift training session done this evening, but got nuked (5mins @ 110%FTP for 5 reps)... Then tried following dod around London, but died...

Not the greatest day of training but some reasonable numbers...

I thought it was you :) I was just finishing then, quick spin after the gym and before going to bed. :)
