LVL1 Fitness thread reboot

Ok, so it was mostly zone 2.

I had to back off in a few places when I strayed into zone 3, and I sprinted the last two minutes.

Didn’t work out last week. Saturday (the 17th) had a good workout, no problems. Afterward my left knee started hurting when standing up or sitting down, no pain otherwise. It continued to bother me through Wednesday so I took the week off.

I plan to start back this afternoon & see how it goes. :pray:

How are Wednesdays for you? The only 14th so far on Wednesday was June 14th. 2 Saturdays, 2 Tuesdays & a Friday otherwise.

Knee is holding up well this week. New squat PR of 310 lbs on Friday.

I’m not sure what the deal was on the 14th. I might have just got sucked into work early or something, and not been able to get back to it later in the day.

After having used it this weekend I gotta say the home gym pc is pretty nifty.

I must have tweaked something in my bicep yesterday. :thinking:

That probably means I should do more yoga and less weights today, but I did increase my dead hang time, so that’s good.

After a few yoga only days I went back to the usual routine this morning. :metal:

I didn’t turn on the tracker until the last half or so of the workout. It’s still not great at auto-detecting things.

Muay Thai was good yesterday - either two weeks off reduced shin conditioning and thus this happened, or its having gotten some additional hip flexibility adding good power.


Even the left got some bruising so i guess my switch kit is getting better.

30 minutes on the bike, then a quick kettlebell circuit… which I forgot to start the tracker on… again.


The tracker put me right on the border between zone 2 and 3 for most of the ride, but I was nose-breathing the whole time, so I’m calling it zone 2.

This mornings workout. The graph is a little wonky, because I forgot to start it(again), and it didn’t auto detect until about half way through.

Not being a Goggins this week, not carrying the boat.

At a tech conference with lots of free booze, im not going to workout this whole week, is what it is. But I’ll be back at it next week.

Did another quick bike ride this morning. I didn’t try to stay within what the tracker called zone 2, but I was still nose-breathing the whole time, so I’m calling that good.

Also made an addition to the bike.

I’m not one of those people who’s on the phone all the time during exercise, but it’s nice to have a hands-free way to manipulate timers or something.

I don’t usually exercise in the afternoon, but today I decided to sneak in some strength training before dinner.

Got too big for my britches Wednesday and couldn’t straighten my arms Thursday or Friday (power cleans). Combine that with waking up w/ sore throat / stuffy nose Thursday and that ends my workout week :melting_face: I’m a dirty mouth breather until further notice…

Over one week off- no lifting, jogging, not even stretching.

Dusting off with a Muay Thai class- this is going to suck

Had a partner I hadn’t had for a good few months, we had teeps that day and he said i had gotten more flexible. I was stoked. My right side definitely felt better, approaching being able to do a teep to the face.

And now this just arrived to go along with a vid on YouTube

Hella infomercial vibes (dude in vid is the dude pictured on the box) but im buying into the need to be able to hold a static stretch for a long duration to get better results.

Vid in question:

Hip mobility is def important. Anyone who’s had sciatica knows how much it can suck when things in that area seize up.
