maidenfan Posted April 28, 2015 Author Share Posted April 28, 2015 Wow, talk about resurrecting a dead thread Currently training to compete in the 2K indoor race at the world police and fire games in DC this July. Not much grip at all lately as I seem to be very susceptible to elbow tendonitis in my old age. Lots of rowing, skierg, some swimming and lately, squatting. All I can say about rowing is that it's the most challenging thing mentally that I've ever done, which is why it's good for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've recently started a little light rowing to maintain some cardio health (and it's fun). What kind of of time are you shooting for in the 2000, Morgan?

maidenfan Posted April 29, 2015 Author Share Posted April 29, 2015 My current best is 6:18. I've got eight weeks left, so I'm hoping to do 6:15 or a bit better. The second day I'm pairing up with an Aussie to run the doubles 1000m (500ea for a combed time). Fortunately for me, erging favors big lugs like me. Big, fit guys like Andrew D and others would do very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricMilfeld Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Chris was right. You're incredibly fast! You are almost maintaining my 500 pace for four times the distance! Well, good luck in July. Let us know how you do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, good luck in July. Let us know how you do. There are some incredibly fit and mentally strong people in the rowing world. Just recently, a Canadian set the full marathon record (42,000m and change), averaging a 1:41 pace for 2hrs 20 some minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never knew indoor rowing was a sport until my step-dad mentioned it recently. He's been a long distance runner and avid rower on the Colorado River down in Austin for decades. I knew about rowing machines but never gave them a second thought until he convinced me to try it out. Unlike treadmills and stationary bikes, I actually find it fun! I like the full body aspect.

maidenfan Posted April 29, 2015 Author Share Posted April 29, 2015 Yeah, it's quite popular, especially in Europe and the UK (over 1/2 million sold in UK). 4/29/15 Bench press - warmup to 185x5, put on sling shot, 225x5, 275x5, 295x3, 225x10 (narrow), 225x9n, 225x9n Couple miles of walking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maidenfan Posted May 2, 2015 Author Share Posted May 2, 2015 Squat 245x20, then a lot planned on the rower. Ended up with a 500m, 1'r, 1000m in 4:45.4 (1:35.1), 132df, 33sm. Was happy with the squats, but no so with the rowing - felt gassed and still not quite over being sick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maidenfan Posted May 3, 2015 Author Share Posted May 3, 2015 Bench press and a strapless 10k in 36:57.8, df 120. 25sm. Been sick the last week or so and was starting to get depressed about training and how I felt. Decided to do an easy, strapless 10k that was finished with a better effort the last bit. Felt pretty good afterwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maidenfan Posted May 5, 2015 Author Share Posted May 5, 2015 20x1'on/1'off - skierg - max drag, 20sm, 5332m. Good workout - great machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifesnotfair Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Gone are the days of strict pressing that huge sandbag for reps (was it 200#x5 or 250#x5 ??), TNSing those awesome grippers, and suitcase deadlifting 275# per hand on barbells. Now you are a rower! Hope all is well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maidenfan Posted May 5, 2015 Author Share Posted May 5, 2015 Nice to see you again, Arturo. As I've gotten older, I've realized that carrying 250+lbs into my later years is not a wise decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifesnotfair Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Thanks Morgan, nice seeing you back at it too. And just to clear things up: anyone who followed your log already knew you had a different perspective last time you were logging too (prior to this), as I remember reading a ton about bodyweight stuff (handstand stuff, pull-ups, etc.) and you were also sometimes logging your meals if I remember correctly, so we all knew you weren't striving for the "HYUGE!" thing anymore I realized the same thing without getting too old yet (I'm 31) or even too big, but just from observing many others I also reached very similar conclusions. That said.... what about grip!? I bet no matter how lean you get, you'd still have tremendous grip power. I assume you have lost the desire to train it specifically... but if the bug bit you again, I know you'd be pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maidenfan Posted May 6, 2015 Author Share Posted May 6, 2015 I did get back into some grip with the climbing board and some atomik brand pull-up devices (some grippers, too) and I quickly developed a good case of tendonitis. Back to some high rep band assist stuff now, but I have to take it easy. Today: 4 rounds of 1250m row & 12 band assist chin-ups in 24:42 (drag 120).

maidenfan Posted May 7, 2015 Author Share Posted May 7, 2015 Short bench press workout, then 4 rounds of: 1250m skierg & 30sec wall handstand in 23:24. 18:38 ski (1:51.8), DF95, 39sm. Was happy with the ski as I was hoping for a sub 2 avg. Fantastic workout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maidenfan Posted May 10, 2015 Author Share Posted May 10, 2015 3 min interval at race pace. Hoping to get into the 6:10-6:15 range in July's race https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SWXmi_GHOSo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maidenfan Posted May 13, 2015 Author Share Posted May 13, 2015 Bench press workout then the plan was a good effort for 30' on the rower. Stopped at 5017m in 17:46 (1:46.2), DF125, 21sm - still a bit tired from skierg TT I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
