Rurik Harrgath Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 Hi, made it to basketball training again today and was really pleased with myself.I think I am the oldest guy there but even with the coach's new focus on fitness I felt like I outlasted most of them, staying on the court longer and even outpacing some of the 16 yr olds down the court.So long live the rebellion!(I think part of it was the deck of pain workouts, as they are nonstop with no rest periods so should be improving my conditioning - although I'm dead now). Great work on bringing the pain train! Indeed, although this morning....DOMMMSSS! Cause and effect, haha! 1 Quote [ Level ?? ] Rurik the Windblade, the Blade Who Dances, Warhawk of the Steppes.

skinNbones Posted November 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2015 Another deck of pain this evening. The cards weren't on my side today (or maybe they were!?) It was almost non stop decline push ups interspersed with Pike pushups. Only one set of squats to break it up and finish with a King for leg raises. Did alright but I do need to think about my warmup and cool down a bit more, just keep forgetting. Only done about 1 minute of squats today though.Only gazbazillion posts behind! 4 Quote SkinNbones : Recruit, Rangers, Jumps, Breaks, ,Tanks, Prepares, Adjusts, Goes Mad, Of The Dead 1, 2, 3 , Level 7 Ranger Link to post

skinNbones Posted November 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2015 Well I think it's 200 , 20 then 19 then 18 ... I work that out as 10x20I can't really say if it was worth it yet, as this is the first time. I really don't want to lose weight but I do want to increase my stamina and this type of relentless pain should be good for that. And the jumps might help my legs to have the energy to still get in the air after an hour of basketball.Only gazbazillion posts behind! 2 Quote SkinNbones : Recruit, Rangers, Jumps, Breaks, ,Tanks, Prepares, Adjusts, Goes Mad, Of The Dead 1, 2, 3 , Level 7 Ranger Link to post

On good days doing squats are fine, on others I have to do some assisted squats. That's far better than making it angry and barely being able to walk for a week.
