Going Long and Hard.

2/18

Basement. Was sore AF this morning so I went hard in the paint because when you're already sore you don't realize when you're more sore. After going hard in the paint I didn't ride, because, Recovery Day.

I logged it as 45 minutes, but it was 2 hours.

Sub 173 this morning - 172.6

Flat back on a bench press and fly's is what I would call chasing form.

Squeezes.

Good choice for that shoulder of yours. I haven't been able to say that with all the fluff you've been throwing in there. lol

Like still having the leg curl attached to your bench.

 

[Steve Vai]

Good choice for that shoulder of yours.

That's how they ended up in my routine. Alternatively, I can't do Flys because my shoulder doesn't rotate outwards. Pullovers are another one added for Shoulder work even though it doesn't technically work that.

What's today? 2/20? Sure. Basement. No ride because I had a big dollar build go out at Lunch Time that took a while. C'est la vie.

Joe made the panels for my Blackborrow bag. He's busy banging this out for the current ITI roster so my stuff is on the back burner. Werd.

45 minutes - 172.3lbs.

Still have another week before I need to crank up the Work load so I went down and did the Tuckahoe loop solo. Stayed sorta on the gas mostly, but not really.

I did get a KOM somewhere so I went faster than last time...

Rode Chimney Rock until it turned to poop. Which was like an hour. Total poop. Don't go.

Then we had our first NICA practice. The trails were not poop. We had fun NICAing.

Can we get @jimvreeland dyno'ed?

I have a power meter, that's like riding a dyno everyday

Hour in the gym. I took a shot of my Pullover so I could see where my shoulder actually stops. It's better than I thought, but not good.

Somo at lunch. Went for the blue climb segment a little, like 85%, just to see how far off I am. Cracked into the top 10 but above that is pretty stacked.

Year To Date.

I also started building a tree ride if anyone wants to help with that. I was scraping rotted bark off with a rock. Gonna be cool, I've been eyeing this up for months.

2.5 hours total - 173.3lbs
