If we set up a thread to log our training, would people be interested to post?
I am up for it

I would. Might be an added incentive to try and keep up with the others etc.

But then all my training techniques and drills etc could be used by our fellow posters to improve and we can’t have that now can we?

Will do, although this time of year I'll just be putting in the miles. But I'm sure I could write something.

Out today nice easy pace. 3hrs 51mins, covered 112Km undulating terrain no major hills or drops. Averaged 29Km/hr. Top speed I hit was a mere 62km/hr.
I'll be out tomorrow also. Staying out longer increasing the distance.
I'll pick up the pace and distance as next season approaches. I'll head out for some sprinting during the week.

25 reps of 315...thunderthighs is apt i think..25 reps squatting anything is tough, not to mind a nice weight like that |

I see you're beginning to understand the pro cyclists' point of view...

Four sets of 25 reps at 315, TT? You ANIMAL! Let me guess... 315 IS the warm-up for you? You must have thunder thighs.
I'd recommend a warm-up for everyone else before squatting, with light weight to get your muscles ready.

I'll give you all a little secret: want to build strength but not mass? Do 6-7 sets of 6 reps of the heaviest weight you can lift. Want strength and mass? Do 3-4 sets of 12 reps with the heaviest weight you can lift. Want to build endurance and not mass? Do it like TT: 25 reps with the heaviest weight you can lift.
25 reps of body weight squats is not tough, mayofan, unless you've eating too much mayo.

well...body weight isnt hard...heavy, deep squats give anybody a good workout though..squats are linked in my head to cold sweating, racing pulse and a feeling that you could puke at any minute
id like to think ive got good leg strength but 25 reps of 315(bout 140 kilos i think) is out of my league...thats twice my body weight..ive done 12 reps of 130 kilos but thats pushing myself
TT, you must be a heavily built guy to squat like that, unless youre a complete freak |
