Hey all! So I was doing this challenge thing before COVID ruined stuff, but now's the time to get back in because the gym where I lift is open and I can work on some things now. To make a long story very short, I bought a new road bike at the end of 2020 and hurt myself because it didn't fit quite right. Fits now, so I'm training back up in the hopes of keeping up with my group rides, improving my fitness and knocking off some of the quarantine weight by fixing the diet. 4 goals: - 3 Lifting Days a week. - 80 miles (or more) a week on the road bike. -more water intake (less coca cola) -veggies with every meal. For the lifting, I run a modified version of Wendler's 5/3/1 with assistance work a little more specific to cycling and a little lighter so that I can have strength and riding. Monday 5/3/1 Low Bar Squat Lateral Step-Up --5 x 5 at 20 lbs. Ab Wheel -- 5 x 5 Tuesday 5/3/1 Bench Press Push-Ups 5 x 5 TRX Inverted Row 5 x 5 Wednesday 5/3/1 Deadlift Single Leg Deadlift -- 5 x 5 at 12 lbs. Planks -- 5 x 30 seconds Lifting is done by Wednesday so I can ride Saturday and Sunday to get miles in. I may also either add a Wednesday or Thursday evening ride in here too depending on how it goes. Between Saturday and Sunday, I put 88 miles on the bike this weekend. 42 miles on the group ride Saturday and 46 on my planned 30 mile ride today. Here's bike porn picture 1 of the Emonda and a picture of the lake I went out to today.
