Kim you around ?

Ok benching 8 reps of 90kg as my peak - my goal is to get it back up to 100kg. Mainly just doing chest ATM as I've hurt my lower back a bit from sport

81kg while also doing football (so cardio) twice a week

i bring you the latest excuse not to train hard (or a video of hiatus hernia, up to you)

This is the one so even though i have been sticking to my winter plan 100% im still way fitter than at any point in the past except maybe from when i rode MTB's during the winter at uni.

After 2months ish of riding alone and doing 60mile rides and averaging 19mph (which is pretty respectable) went to the first of a locals club's group training sessions. This involves riding a small 2mile circuit in groups of carying ability. First ne this weekwas cancelled as some of the back roads used were ice covered. The 15 of us who turned up in the artic conditions rode on the main road to a local town and back for only about 15miles in total.

Riding into the wind we only dropped a few riders with the pace being pushed quite high and a few guys struggling to keep the pace, as we turned to head home into a head wind, the faces on a lot of the riders changed to a grimace and the pain levels shot up. I was feeling fine and evetually just me and another guy were left having decimated the field with our pace.

Hopefully next week the curicuits will be on again and more riders will show (they had been getting 70+ at the other side of town, which i didnt attend) Hopefully I can mix it with the best of these guys aswell.

Still not on a diet yet and not bothered about losing weight as it is too cold for that atm.

it's been too rainy/snowy so i haven't been exercising at all lately
