I guess the weather hasn't had the best track record so far, this year.

No kidding. One of the first sales VPs I worked for said when he retired he wanted to become either a weatherman or work for SETI so he can always be wrong with no accountability.

4 sets of 5 rep chest press, parallel grip and overhand grip, wide and close grip lat pull downs at 4 sets of 5 reps, then cable pull downs, 4 sets of 5 reps, then pushup/squat (40-50 lb. dumbbells) sets of 4 reps apiece.


That's the AM session what you think of that. Equates to about 25 mins. Pure cardio is killing me I fear lifting weights after 5 weeks.

Sounds like a Tanya harding workout don't make me knee cap you bitch

Dude there are no other machines at my job. 60-80 pounds is good enough for me for those routines anyway, plates only go up to 112 pounds.

However, I am wondering whether or not I can two pre-workout mixtures in a day, for each session. Don't wanna kill off the potency of them, altogether. Thoughts?


Thought about the Fitness sub-forum but there are too many tools in there. Lol.

I read this at a stop light and thought you were drying your t-shit and sweats in a microwave. lol Good to see that you're learning.

Looks like you're working out harder in the evening than the morning. I'd stick to one in the evening, where you're focused on pushing it. But i'm no expert.

There is a parking lot where most of the road bikers park on the trail i ride on during the week. I park about 4 miles away but pass it on my rides. I call that parking lot "the tool box".

Shit, got me dad!


You're absolutely right, I actually also decided that that would be best. Don't want to overload and need to cycle off, smh. Haha, I know you see the huge variance in calorie burn between morning and evening on MFP LOL.


Why don't you stop by there one day?! I'm sure they could use some WD-40.

Must have missed the "Ask a Girl Anything" thread.

This is why you can never just not scan thread discussions from the night before. That's where most of the gems emerge.

I have to admit that i up my speed when i past by there. They do group rides of like 30 to 50 people out of there so they are all milling around the parking lot like a bunch of bees getting ready to swarm. I just double my power out put when passing until i can't handle it.

Speaking of power out put... my power sensor battery was dead when i started my ride so i didn't have my power metric available to me when riding which is what i typically go by. So i was riding by perceived effort. I fell like i was sucking it up and that new saddle wasn't feeling too great so i cut my workout short by 8 or so miles. Felt kind of defeated, like i was riding slow the whole time. I open up Garmin connect and front page shows me achieving a new record. I bested my 40k time by nearly 2 minutes! I guess i was working harder than i thought. lol Last two times i reduced my 40k time it was only by 32 and 12 seconds respectively. Yesterday i didn't expect to lower that time at all, so besting it by 2 min was completely unexpected.

I should ride with my computer facing down every other week?! Maybe that makes me work harder.

Damn! That's a huge difference! LOL congrats man!!


Yeah, haha. The perception of hard work is usually quantified appropriately when we aren't monitoring as we go along. But that's remarkable, nonetheless!

I have definitely noticed this. For me it is running with my iPhone music and app. Occasionally on a business trip, I'll forget my running headphones or arm strap. Almost ALWAYS when I run with no audible cues, I run faster.

So are you saying that you run faster with like, no music? That's different. I have literally grown somewhat dependent on my playlists to capitalize on my output. But then again, it's mostly for my more extreme training.


Could just be habit, too.

[1MOREMOD]

Yeah cuz I'm old and can't lift shit

Yeah - I do the same... the problem is that I seem to settle in to a play list. So, when I forget it, I have more urgency or something - I push harder in fear that I am going slower. It is psychological... and kind of weird. Usually, after one of those, I need to adjust my playlist.
