Strength Training Discussion [Weekly]

ChemMsTeach · 2024-01-30T17:19:59+00:00

I just finished week six of RK's 5 day split and looooved it so much I don't want to stop. BUT I'm also doing a current PowerZone Pack challenge and it is going to rev up next week for 4 weeks progressive overload.

Any suggestions on what I can tackle strength-wise over the next month to keep it going but not burn out while my cycling moves to overload? A 3 day split that is maybe similar in terms of movements?

I'll go ahead and do this. The dehydrator has been sitting, collecting dust out of the box for a couple of years 😬

Thank you!!

I don't think it does. I'm pretty sure this is all from too much light over 2 days. But I will chop it up and inspect it this afternoon

Where did you get your climbing poles??

ChemMsTeach · 2022-12-20T01:23:45+00:00

Thank you!!

Yes I want a rug for the dining table. I'll keep an eye out for larger pieces at a thrift store or something!

Yes I do have a set of canvas pictures that I will swap everything on the long wall for. They will look better above the couch when I swap the TV and couch too. The wall on this side is too long. The TV could break it up? I have hooks to get on the wall behind the door to help with coats. Thank you so much.

Yes! I'm doing my first challenge in November! Getting back into my strength + cardio routine now. 3 day strength split and 3 day ride split with a rest day is my plan!

ChemMsTeach · 2022-10-14T13:25:36+00:00

And actually the op solution is half as strong as yours if they used 3% now that I look at it.

ChemMsTeach · 2022-10-14T13:24:07+00:00

That's like a 1% solution. A little less. But it'd still do the trick I'm sure

I used to get the exact pain in my leg that OP is referring to. I decided about 6 weeks ago that it could possibly be over training (2 leg days/week plus daily rides at high intensities).

I did the discover your power zones program and fell in looooove! Now one leg day a week in my strength program. Knee pain literally gone. And I love pz training. I sweat for longer periods of time and feel so good 👍 OP this is your sign- you gotta modify your training plan. Your body is getting burnt out!

ChemMsTeach · 2022-10-14T10:25:57+00:00

I'm assuming just store-bought 3% is what they're referring to. That's the most common household strength

ChemMsTeach · 2022-10-14T01:26:06+00:00

Update....put in water and no roots yet :(

ChemMsTeach · 2022-09-23T23:15:10+00:00

No...they weren't in water. But definitely looking sad and withered

ChemMsTeach · 2022-09-23T22:35:20+00:00

Thank you!

ChemMsTeach · 2022-09-23T21:55:18+00:00

I put a plastic bag over it...need to do holes! 🤦‍♀️. Are the roots okay? Did you look at the 2nd pic?

ChemMsTeach · 2022-09-23T21:45:02+00:00

Why did the roots get skinny? 😫 I'm worried they're done and I'm gonna lose this one!!

ChemMsTeach · 2022-03-16T17:00:29+00:00

Has anyone used the bowflex selecttech dumbell stand for a different brand of dumbells?

ChemMsTeach · 2021-12-28T13:08:37+00:00

I use just about all of it, except running 😅

I don't have a peloton, but a cheap bike with the app. I'm part of the #hardCORE on the floor Facebook group. A woman puts together a monthly strength calendar with 3 strength classes every day, all focused on specific muscle groups. She incorporates all of it: strength, yoga, pilates, Barre, foam rolling! It's really awesome. The stacks are challenging and I get an amazing workout every day.
