Roller calf smash was DIRTY! I cut a length of PVC pipe and placed it on my lifting platform so my foot could hang off the ground. Took about 2-3 minutes on each calf passing up and down, really painful and they felt much better a few days later.

Rowing Machine – 3 x 6 mins (2.5 mins, 3.5 mins) 1:58.8, 1:59.6, 2:00.5 pace
Pullups – 3 x 6
OHP – 3 x 8 x 40kg
Legs were toast so didn’t need split squats or power cleans. Built some confidence given that 1:59 was what I held on my 2000m time trial on day 1 and I matched it twice with 2.5 mins rest between. Needed more rest between reps 2 and 3 but it’s based on your heart rate dipping below 2x resting which is a nice way of taking the guesswork out of whether you need a longer rest after a certain rep.

I had an ordeal with a puncture to my car last night and it involved an hour trying to fix it myself and then waiting for the AA, meaning I got home after 3am. If I was fully rested I’d do some upper body today but right now I’m not even in the mood to try abs. Will try to do more on Friday than usual.
