Re: VelocipedeSalon WOD: Workout of the day
I always find it interesting to see how different people (lifters, coaches, trainers, etc.) do workout splits. I tend to mix it up every month or so between full body workouts, anterior/posterior splits, or upper/lower splits. It also depends where I am in the season and if I'm lifting more than once a week. Right now I'm lifting 1-2 times a week so today I did a posterior chain workout and will do a front/back split for the next couple weeks before I drop down to one day of lifting a week. Then I'll go full body.

Re: VelocipedeSalon WOD: Workout of the day
Matt, I change my routines and days at the gym too, depending on what I’m after. I’m going to the gym three times a week now and doing intervals twice a week. With spring near, that will change to more time on the bike and more focus on the core more so than the extremities.
Just got back from the gym, today was “Leg day”
All work outs start with ab and/or lower back work. Here is my work out of the day.
Lower Abs, laying flat on the floor, leg raises- 3 sets for 30 reps, 30 sec. recovery between sets (the goal is 30 reps, but I did 25, 20 and 15 reps , not there yet).
External Obliques- Side Dumbell Raises- 3 sets for 20 reps 30 sec. recovery between sets (40lbs, 35 lbs, 30lbs).
For warm up, squats with just the bar for reps, two sets

Hamstring (the back muscle of the leg is actually called the bicep femoris)
Seated Leg Curl Machine- five sets in a pyramid weight scale with 40 sec. recovery between sets.
Set 1- 30 reps at 30lbs, Set2- 20 reps at 40lbs, Set3- to failure at 50lbs (I got 8 reps), Set 4- 20 reps fpor 40 lbs, Set 5- 30 reps for 30lbs

Re: VelocipedeSalon WOD: Workout of the day
After three days of gym work (“leg day” was Tuesday) today it was time on the bike. Intervals were my work out of the day today. Did the same interval routine I did last week. The only changes were to cut recovery to four and a half minutes and to ride the drops for the first three minutes of that recovery period:
Intervals- 10 sprints of 20 sec. each with 4 1/5 min. recovery periods in between.
My first four sprints went well; I treated the fourth sprint as race/fast spin sprint.
It taxed me really good, my recovery pace went down from 20 to 21 mph to 18 for awhile.
Fifth sprint, I concentrated on muscle contraction for the whole rotation. This too taxed me pretty hard. (1 sip of water)
Sixth and seventh sprints were fluid, hard spins, my recovery speed bounced back. (1 sip of water)
Eighth sprint, it was taking it’s toll and I had to lay mind games. Swapping between the drops and the hood helped distract me from the pain and the obvious laboring during recovery. (2 sips water)
Ninth and tenth sprint I did perfect pedaling form during the hard effort sprints. (2 sips of water)
That left me with ten minutes recovery to finish the hour and it took all I had to finish it! The quit was strong in me. With four minutes to go I recovered enough to pedal at 21 mph
average in good from to finish the hour out:
interval workout B.jpginterval workout A.jpg
Differences from last interval workout: in mph; max speed last week was 41.0, this week it was 38.1, avergae speed last week was 20.7, this week was about the same at 20.2.

Re: VelocipedeSalon WOD: Workout of the day
Nice form work Burnette.
1 hrs. on the trainer (shoot me now) with 1X20 threshold and 2 hard sprints.
1 complete set of Bear Complex.

Re: VelocipedeSalon WOD: Workout of the day
Today is my day off weights. The hard day, easy day, off day rotation is really working for me. I did get in a nice ride with the wife and started the day working the jaws of life. The new electric ones are so nice.

Re: VelocipedeSalon WOD: Workout of the day
Just started in on a row machine. I haven't used one since dry land training in high school(almost 30 years). I have to remind myself to take baby steps. Man I'm sore...

Re: VelocipedeSalon WOD: Workout of the day
Missed posting a few days but it was a good week. TT season starts April 2 but due to work related travel I won't be competitive for the season long points and am focused on upping the training volume and intensity this off season in hopes of seeing a "pop" in the second half. By increased volume talking 7-8 hours up to 10-12. The bulk of the extra time going to zone 3 work. Regardless of the hoped for pop, I feel good about the winter and that matters more than a 5 watt CP20 increase to me. Also working the weights lightly and the core much harder than normal. Anyway on to the workouts:
Daily: 5-8 minutes of planks
Every other day: Bench press, rows, curls, tris.
Mon and Tues were easy spins, zone 1. I cooked it hard the week before and needed proper recovery. I'm paying a lot more attention to recovery this season and not blindly following my daily "plan". If I need the rest I take it. Took 49 years to learn that.
Wed: 12 x 75 sec 105-115% done sets of 4 with 45s recovery between efforts (e.g. each set takes 8 minutes). Done on eMotions.
Thursday: 1 x 40 min @ 90-95% with an extra 30 min tempo for w/u and c/d (eMotions)
Friday: 70 min zone 2 "easy" (eMotions)
Saturday: 90 minutes with 1 x30 and 1 x 20 zone 3. (e Motions)
Sunday: 2:15 outdoors on my local hill ride. We don't have massive climbs locally but there are some good 5-7 minute efforts that link together nicely. 3200 feet of climbing in a bit over 2 hours. Didn't crush any of the efforts, just sat at 95-110% for each grade and enjoyed the hills. Nice temps, bit o'wind.
This week will be more of the same and then a rest week.

Re: VelocipedeSalon WOD: Workout of the day
Workout Of The Day is the bomb!
Mad props to you all. This has become a great resource for me for cycling specific training.
Wow MarckC! Those are killer intervals. Check your PMs, I sent you one for more info.

Re: VelocipedeSalon WOD: Workout of the day
Tandem Day with Mrs. TT
10 mins. warm up than throw down with the Sunday Warriors for 30 min. all VO2 with 2 hill sprints. Ouch. *Cool to have Mrs. TT down for this. She's all business when we are in a paceline.
Followed by 3 1/2 hrs. of coffee stops, easy climbing, farmers markets than home.
Mon. back on my head.
MarkC - Agreed, more of that. Excellent plan.

Re: VelocipedeSalon WOD: Workout of the day
Wayne - replied to PM. Good luck!
You guys are far too kind. I look at Robert's plan and think - I'm a hack, that guy gets it.
Almost all of my training is focused on our time trial series (12 races, I'll do 20 TTs a season and a couple crits). With our TTs being mostly 8-12 miles it's all CP20. Most races I'm averaging 26-27 MPH. Am a small guy, 60-62 kg so doing it with tenacity and low CdA. I can beat the bigger guys if it's hilly or rolling and technical but in a flat, non-technical power throwdown just too small to make the watts required.
My fitness goals are to attain a good level of fitness and maintain it from late April through late August. I follow a very simple plan with periodization, a lot of tempo/sweetspot, a small amount of VO2max and over the years have found some "fun" indoor workouts that I enjoy. Usually riding 8-12 hours a week depending on work and travel. With such low hours no worries of over-work, just need to make the time count.
Big difference this winter is getting serious about core and upper body strength. I'm no pocket hercules but feel a lot better about my overall fitness.
I am interested in what you guys have found to increase CP20. Most folks focus on FTP and while they are correlated, 20 min is different than an hour.

Re: VelocipedeSalon WOD: Workout of the day
Squats, deads, power cleans, core work and now I want to go back to bed.
The squat form is really coming back and I think I'm a month or so out from really hitting heavy weights again.
-
Re: VelocipedeSalon WOD: Workout of the day
Today was chest day (chest, lats, triceps) and for muscle confusion I always alter the workout. Last week's "chest' routine used dumbbells
descending in weight. Today I used straight barbell ascending in weight. Seated cable high and low for lats, cable overhead and
push down for tripceps.
I'll start riding three times a week now, two days interval, one day outside. Tomorrow is interval day (not Mark's intervals! I have a ways to go before I could do that!)
where I try a new one that replicates climbing.

Re: VelocipedeSalon WOD: Workout of the day
Heavy day done. Triceps and back. I'd list the exercises but I don't know all the names. I do know skullcrusher though. That name is worth knowing. Did those with my back on an exercise ball.
Leg lifts for the abs.
Finished with about 40 minutes of rolling.
Just like the weekly ride thread keeps me motivated to ride this one helps keep me motivated to hit the weights. Thanks everybody.
