Tag: TrueForm Run

Shelf Upgrade

Yesterday afternoon I finally started working on my old office, tearing out the carpet, padding, and tack strips. My back got pretty tight. Last night my arms started getting pretty sore from Friday’s workout. This morning, I remade one of the garage gym shelves and then we worked out at 10am.

This is a DLB workout. The five seconds was basically a transition time so we’d get a full 30 seconds of work and then one full 30 seconds off. I don’t know my exact reps but it was around 26-12-12-10 every round.

Struggling Shoulders

Took a full rest day yesterday, even though my WHOOP recovery was at 92%. After a 2 hour Zoom meeting I was exhausted. Went to bed early and it’s 97% today! Out in the garage at 4pm.

Handstands

6×3 Kick-ups

These were done between leg sets. I can already feel a difference in getting to more of a hollow body position from the stretches and shoulder exercises.

Legs

4 Sets

  • 16 alt Back Rack Reverse Lunge (135-145-155-165#)
  • 8/8 Single Arm/Leg RDL (70# KB)

  • 10 Band Rear Delt Pull Apart (red)

Conditioning

15-10-5

  • Strict HSPU
  • Hang Power Snatch (95/65#)
  • T2B

I thought I might be able to go unbroken on the handstand push-ups, but quickly realized that wasn’t going to happen; I did 8-7, 3-3-2-2, and 5. The snatches were harder than I expected as well and my hook grip is so untrained these days! I did 8-7, 6-4, and 5 there. For the toes to bars I did 8-7, 10, and 5. Finished in 6:35.

Back Again

I did another hour of yard work yesterday afternoon to finish the leaf cleanup for the year. My upper body started getting sore from Friday. Headed out to the garage just after 7am for some cardio before watching the Masters.

  • 1:00 Rest

Didn’t expect the sit-ups to burn so much, but my upper abs were on fire! Finished in 7:21. This is another good one from Kristi.

Chest and Tris

Yesterday was a rest day, but I spent about 90 minutes cleaning up leaves. Got a full night of sleep.

Warm-up

  • 3:00 TrueForm Run (570m)
  • 3 Sets

I did 40-20-20 and it burned!

Conditioning

4 Rounds (IGYG)

  • 18/12 cal BikeErg (standing)
  • 30 Plyo Lunges

Started out way too hot on the bike and paid for it. For the lunges I went 16-14 and then 18-12 for the other three rounds. Brandi did Goblet squats because of a calf issue. We finished in 13:26. So much burn.

I walked two minutes on the TrueForm to try and flush out my legs a little.

Learning Curve

My ass is pretty sore already and my hamstrings are a bit. My scaps are also feeling that stuff from yesterday. I got a freight delivery today!!

It’s the TrueForm Trainer, which I ordered at the beginning of October with 6 week delayed shipping to save $2,000.

Out in the garage at 4:30 today.

Warm-up

  • 3:00 TrueForm Run (530m)
  • Eagle Arms
  • Butcher’s Block
  • Back to Wall Shoulder Opener
  • Dead Hang Partner Push

Conditioning

30:00 AMRAP

  • 300m TrueForm Run

  • 24/16 cal Row
  • 20 Ball Slams (30#)
  • 24/16 cal Ski
  • 20 1-Arm DB Push Jerks (50#)

That runner is something else. Doesn’t feel like any other type of running and having to control the pace yourself is an odd feeling after having treadmills do it all of my life. I went 10/10 on the jerks every round and most of them were push presses. Finished 4 + 15m.

Midline

3 Sets

  • 20 Lying Leg raise to DB (30#)
  • 20 Leg Lifts over DB
  • 20 Overhead DB Sit-ups (30#)
  • 20 alt Hip Dips
  • 10/10 Plank Toe touch + knee to elbow + knee cross body
  • 1:00 Rest

We got this one from Kristi and it was a gnarly one. When I looked at the clock after round 1 it was 4:57!. I got quicker after that, with round times of 4:23 and 4:16 for a total of 15:26.
