Measured Workouts

I'm a big fan of the timed workout. We need to be setting more reference points to track fitness progress. Max reps, sets for time, 1 rep max weight etc.

Workouts like the one below are bloody fantastic, I did a modified version (21-15-9 @ 25kg) in 9:08 and I'm gonna try it once a fortnight to get that time down a few minutes.

Check out a video of this workout in wmv or mov.

Last time I did this I somehow got exactly the same time (9:08).

This morning I walked in and smashed this out straight away (no other warm-up other than some stretching) in 7:23.

that's a good improvement in my books.

although totally drained and sore from the painstorm, seeing people doing bugger-all in the gym tonight (including some clown in the treadmill that could not have been higher than 2km/h!!) fired me up to bang this out after a bunch of other stuff.

@ 35kg, 7:36
felt good, major aggression on the push presses in the beginning for some reason. gassed out a few times (muscle fatigue mostly) and although i was on the floor at the end, beathing recovered very quickly.
