Gym Work

A. 5×6 single arm eccentric chins; rest as needed

1. L-8,5,3,2,2,2 R-7,4,3,3,2,2
2. L-5,3,3,2,2,2 R-3,3,2,2,2,2
3. L-2,3,2,2,1,1 R-2,2,2,2,2,2
4. L-2,2,2,2,1,1 R-2,2,2,2,2,1
5 – bailed, just falling straight down, no control at all, didn’t want to hurt myself
Rested 2:30 min btwn arms first 3 sets, then 4 min after that.  Longer rest doesn’t seem to help much.  Only the first few reps feel very productive.

3 sets @97%:
AD 25 seconds
Rest 3:05
1. 20 cal
2. 17 cal
3. 17 cal
This feels super lactate intensive for me and hurts more than part 2.

3 sets @97%:
Row fast 40 seconds
Rest 3:50
1. 216m/1:32.5
2. 219m/1:31.3
3. 219/1:31.3
This doesn’t feel lactic at all.  I just get fatigued and can’t push any harder.  This feels similar to row sprints at 15-20 sec where I just can’t pull any harder, but no burning.
+
3 sets
7 burpees AFAP
Airdyne 55 seconds @95-97%
Rest 6 min
1. 26 cal
2. 26 cal – OUCH, this was a truly intense effort to hit that again
3. 10 cal – toast, not even 50% recovered after round 2.  Barely off the floor, quads still burning.

 

Can you comment on your thoughts of why part 1 feels so much more lactic intense than part 2 for me?  On paper I would think it to be the opposite.

What an intense week.  I am totally wiped.  The sofa and I will be great friends from 12 tomorrow through Sunday night.  Time for a massage and some serious recovery.
