TRF Posters: Do they lift things? What do they lift?? Let's find out!

Just more motivation not to fail

I'd be more worried about what happens if he blew out a pec / tricep.

We're so back

Gym luck dictates that you're gonna blow your ACL and/or MCL in the next 3-5 working days.

What weight? After my latest back issue I started from just the bar again, a painfully slow progression but that's a bad back for you.

Bar, 40*5, 60*5*5

Gonna try and do the classic add 2.5kg a week, need to keep my ego in check - I've done it before when I've gone too hard too quick and ended up right back where I started

Anyone use a smartwatch for the gym any recommendations?

I've got a Fitbit Versa, doesn't do anything overly fancy (heart rate, calories, steps) but definitely found it keeps me more accountable with going to the gym and also doing cardio - I know the calories burned is way out from what I've actually burnt but knowing I want to hit X amount every session definitely makes me pick up the cardio at the end rather than just doing a lazy 15mins cool down or something

I've considered a Garmin (or maybe a Samsung) but I don't like change/do like the fitbit app, and it's sleep tracker (and i've linked it to my digital scales), so the only one I'm really considering is the Google Pixel Watch (cause Google bought Fitbit) but it's fugly as hell so not rushing to get one

Use a coros for refereeing/running. It's the cheapest of the running watches. It does the job well enough plus it does running power. Coros app does do things for weightlifting but I've stopped lifting so I couldn't really tell you what they do. Kind of sucks cause all my cycling is on Garmin.

Watching the Olympics has got me back on the rowing erg, and I'm loving it
Not rowed much since before COVID, I think, so I'm terrible at it now but I'm actually looking forward to cardio - helps that my gym has concept2 rowers which has an app so it tracks all my workouts, which definitely keeps the motivation up

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

getting back into refereeing after some injuries has been all erg and bike. I love the concept 2 for how simple and durable they are.

Also allows me to cheat and keep my upper body from getting ****** from underuse.

I'm started doing bike sprints as well as rugby training.

Started doing 10 seconds full sprints, 50 seconds slow pace. Trying to work up to 10 minutes of this and then increase the sprint to 15 seconds and then work up to 20 minutes total work.

Great fitness but hard after squats.

I used to do a Sufferfest session on the bike which started with 2 minutes effort and 2 minutes recovery, decreasing each time by 15 seconds down to 15 seconds effort.
