@cloudbyday I've put Stronglifts on hold whilst doing challenge - now halfway through and very bored. 20kg is fine just crank them out quicker to get a cardio workout

@suzainmerchant Is the challenge something you do as part of planned training a couple of times a year - and have you found it easier this time around?? I'm curious as I think it's a good idea to try and plan your training (and life but that's another subject) in 3 month increments and have...

@swoyach I get the point with boredom - I try and get into a meditative type of state or just listen to an interesting book or podcast to get me through it. Glad you saw some results !

@on_a_mission_ With exercise I have always been into LSD (Long Slow Distance) rather than speed - I have a Concept rower which I have used a lot never managing to get down to 1:45 for 500 metres but can switch off and crank out 25000 metres in 2 hours with no issue. With the swings I just...

@shawnmcg "After Dan John's 10'000 swings @ 24kg, I did the Simple & Sinister @ 32kg, and am currently on the Rite of Passage (DiLuglio) @ 32kg." Thanks for this - my challenge I think will be "whisper - a bit more Crossfit" - the 500k metres rowing in 30 days challenge but I really like the...

@dawn16 My best daily totals have been 750 x 24 or 500 x 32 so I am miles away from 10k in 10 days - respect !

M55 200 lbs 5 feet 9 - "cuddly" Finally decided to tick this off my list - I got 60% through in the first two weeks in January this year but then life got in the way. I have a holiday scheduled in 25 days time so will be doing 20 sessions of 500 before then. Taking it slow - no need to rush...

@shawnmcg Have you thought about either - 1 Upping weight - 7500 at 32kg or 250 per day? 2 Swopping to rowing 500k metres in a month? Thanks for entertaining post.
