I’ve now got my mind set on a 1hr treadmill power walk tonight.
Tomorrow the legs can rest.

Legs like jelly and back feels like shit right now but I got job done.

Motivation is a strange thing my guy. Mine is a mix of things, but a large part is arrogance at being better, doing things others wont. Another part is joy, privileged to be fit and healthy.

I hate running and I work out until I feel sick, but the results make me love the process.

I've found the best motivation to be intrinsic vs extrinsic but in truth that theory doesn't completely fit my headspace.

I actually jumped in because you started it. So extrinsic does have a place. My other motivations are being stronger than ever as I hit the half ton in a couple more seasons. I also want to be an active Dad with my growing boys. And I'll be honest about being a healthier stronger man for my wife. I want her to get max benefits as much as I will.

Night time stretch after a big day on the terls.

Stretching seems another time consuming thing I'd like to neglect but it's so necessary for my shortened tight lower back muscles to help release my ugly tight hammies.

Crunches

10, 15, 20, 15, 10 with 5 - 10 sec rests between sets.

Calf raises. No weights just doing them.

10, 12, 15, 12, 10. Those were hard haha.

That's it for today

Luckily its heavy legs and Pilates was legs too. Loaded up on barbell then hack squat. That should be enough to stimulate some growth while being zero impact after 2 days of running.

Hip flexors are a bit unhappy though. I think they are fatigued more than stressed.

think it was that first day of hills. Knee and foot drive was one of things pilates fixed but I think theres some latent weakness on that vertical plane.

I'll be researching that Pilates and seeing how I can learn and apply it.

TBH if I didnt have a super gym near me, I would buy a reformer bed.

Set myself another challenge at the start of the year to do 75 Pilates classes . That’s how important I consider it to be in terms of my overall physical health, which has taken a drastic improvement.

Hope to join the 1000lb club and marathon runner in the next 12 months.

What is the 1000lb club? Surely not the three powerlifts at that combined and a marathon?

Yup sure is. Not on the same day for the marathon though . that's an unrelated challenge

Wow. Those are impressive numbers. I'm assuming you are not a big guy, and you have mentioned you are 41.
I used to sometimes do a few bench presses with an Olympic decathlete. He coached himself, what an athlete he was and still would be. At the age of 44, he decided to enter the world championship in his age group. Trained himself for a few months and won it. I think he beat guys like Daley Thompson. He didn;t do squats or deadlifts but if he did, he would be around that 1000lb.
His workouts in the gym were almost solely stretching, flexing, walking upside down and leaping like a frog from a crouch.
In the park, various trackwork and lots of stretching again and a sort of dance like routine. I've never seen anyone be able to do what he could.

Nah not massive. Hovering around 90kg at 185cm/6ft1. 13% body fat on my last DEXA 3months ago. Been moving through endurance and hypertrophy for the last few years. Not a massive fan of strength work. That will change to hit 1000.

Current numbers

Bench 120kg
Squat 140kg
Dead 185kg *trap bar
