Bri, what kind of a vest do you use? Is it something made for workouts?

My wife has some ankle weights. I wonder if those would do any good with pullups. Obviously not for squats or pushups.

[Bri3626]

Hiya, sorry for the late reply. Been too busy as of late. Kdo I bought a simple Walmart special vest with the 0.9 pound inserts. Nothin fancy.

Almost bought an 80 lbs vest from Play It Again Sports but it was a dollar per pound heh. Also don't believe I'm gonna need 80 lbs anytime soon.

Today L4D13

5:08 Son of a @#%%.

I was cruising through it too. Fatigued to quick on pushups I'm afraid.

Too close anyway. I'm gonna cheat and move up heh.

[volleyball_man]

So close!

Use the rationalization that you'll have to move back if it takes longer than 30mins :wink:

L5D1

16 rounds.

Boy was that a long rest week. heh

[taifun]

Great! 16 rounds is fab.

You realise you've moved from L1 to L5 in less than four months?

[Bri3626]

L5D2

1st two rounds with a 20 lbs. vest. So exhausted today doing this. Did the last 3 rounds without the vest. Almost quit after three but I finished.

11:29

[taifun]

Uhh, sounds like a proper workout, shooting for three rounds vested next time?

[Bri3626]

Actually I will probably try to do the all five rounds. I was just extra tired yesterday for some reason. I guess not sleepin a lot will do that to ya heh.

Thanks! Its just a walmart special. Nothin fancy.
Works pretty good though. I use it when Im running too and its hangin pretty tough

L5D3

10:37

Really felt the pullups today. I was breakin up the sets into 5's when I was on L4 but Im gonna try to bring it up to tens so my grip strength improves.

[taifun]

You're fantastic!

[Bri3626]

Forgot to log yesterdays run.

Not sure of distance since it was a dirt trail. Anyway

about 9:30 at 85% pace...
Then

1 minute sprints with 2 minute jogs for 3 rounds.

Got mud all over me. Scared the hell out of a deer and had a good time heh.

[Bri3626]

Forgot to log my events. I'm goin crazy.

Monday Sep. 24 was L5D1 - 18 rounds.

Tuesday Sep. 25 was one mile run with weighted vest - 08:58

Run wasn't too bad considering the heat and the vest.

"I'm goin crazy"

Well at least you are healthy crazy :P

[Bri3626]

Heh that would be a good T-shirt slogan. "Healthy Crazy"

been at the inlaws so I improvised. While everyone was wandering around the yard picking butterbeans I was finding different trees to do 3 round sets of pullups. Lost count on that one cause I kept getting interrupted but it probably wasn't more than 20 ish. Not sure.

Anyway went and ran an old dirt road that brought back some memories. Last time I ran that I had just met my future wife and was visiting her parents. *cough 22 years ago *cough.

Anyway ran for 12 minutes probably a 9 minute mile pace then did sprints. Went kinda like this:

Sprint one minute
Jog one minute
Walk one minute (walked to see how low I could get the heart rate and determine if I could sprint faster) {seemed to work}

rinse and repeat. Ran that for 4 rounds and ended up back where I started. believed I dropped the run time until I did the math. Interesting how you can run one way and feel like you only warmed up, change it, do the same distance, and be so much more tired. God I love this stuff!!

Nice and quiet too. Would love to move back to NC I think... heh.
