In the near future, I'm going to have to rethink my resistance training. It's all upper body work, functioning as a substitute for swimming. Once I begin the 3x/week, will I need the extra work? Probably not, but I do enjoy my sessions in the weight room? Yes, and I'm not sure I'd want to risk giving up what (little) I've accomplished, especially given my bad shoulders. (They feel much better with regular, good form, resistance work.) But I know my recovery will be compromised if I try to do too much. This would be exacerbated (5 cent word of the day) by my reduced sleep schedule (which I'd imagine will be a product of the 5:xx swim times). So my thinking right now, noting that this plan could change in a heartbeat, is to cut back to two sessions, Monday and Friday. I'm not sure yet how I'll set things up with varying rep ranges, but I'll work something out. Additionally, this will open up Wednesday for a light run. The added volume there (if I keep intensity down) will be a boost for the marathon training.
I spend too much time thinking about these things.
Upper body - horizontal: light
Bear 2x4/75 lbs
Row 2x20/85 lbs
Pushup 2x20/30 lbs
If you've read this far into the post, there's big news. I just called Endurosport, and my ??? is ready for pickup tomorrow. I'll check on the digital camera situation around the house to see if any work so I can provide pics.
