At Home at the moment

Not too detailed, but I have still been training hard (I was managing 2 sessions a day and then wedding preparations screwed it up. Anyway, some highlights:

Weights: Am successfully doing about 4 pullups in one go. Als can leg press about 210kg in fenners.

Ergs: Was quite pleased with the 15k at 1:53.8 (rate 20) that I did in the gym today. The gym instructor was fairly impressed too :-)

On the water: Ignoring forgetting how to scull at Bedford Quarts which was fairly embarassing I have won S1 VIII's at Quarts and also went up 3 in town bumps to finish 10th, which was nice.

4 pull ups!? Is that it? :-D

210kgs isn't bad though.

However, look at this:

isnt the diagonal one cheating? half the weight is held by the machine (if its at 45 degrees). how many reps do you do at 210? i jacked it up to 230 for a laugh, i could only do about 5. on the seated one that is. probably cant do bugger all for a squat though
