Todays session
No kettlebells today! Started off with a 2k row on my Concept 2 rower. This hasn't been used as much recently so I thought I would try a 2K to see how it felt. This wasn't going to be a max attempt however as I was going to train core chest and core afterwards. I warmed up for 1 K and then hit the 2 K reasonably hard. My goal was a time of 7 minutes dead and I was therefore trying to hit 1 minute 45 second 500 metre splits. I was 5 seconds in arrears at 1500 metres and therefore blitzed the final 500 hitting a split of 1.38. So 7 minutes was the target and that's what I achieved. Not a great time but then that wasn't the goal. I finished very strongly and that was encouraging as I felt as though I could have gone a further 3-400 at the 1.38 pace. It's a tough game though rowing and it did bring back memories of the previous ball busting efforts I've had in the past.
OK, row done, it was time to hit the TRX in the garden.
I did the following:
5 sets of TRX chest press with ever increasing shallower angles to the ground. The final set almost flat. This is where my faith in my TRX post (and the TRX) is really tested.
I then moved on to single sided chest press as a precurser to the upcoming core session and finally some flyes.
Next up was core and here, as I often do, I followed a fairly unstructured workout consisting of a solid ten minutes work.
I incorporated TRX suspended crunch, TRX suspended oblique crunch, suspended pike and some static holds in the form of planks.
