lobsteriffic Posted March 16, 2011 Author Share Posted March 16, 2011 You are probably right. I keep meaning to google and see if other Stronglifts folks have a similar issue. Will probably try deads before squats next week. This is such a squat-focused program. And I can tell, I've increased my squat by a LOT. But my deads are really lagging.

TrilliumFortnight Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 I'm doing stronglifts too, not lifting as much as you, maybe 140 pounds tops on deadlifts, 120 on squats, but the deadlifts feel a lot easier, and I always do them after squats. Maybe its because I have a pretty strong core (from years of yoga) but not so strong legs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lobsteriffic Posted March 16, 2011 Author Share Posted March 16, 2011 You are probably on to something! My core is pathetically weak, I have way stronger quads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lobsteriffic Posted March 16, 2011 Author Share Posted March 16, 2011 03/16/11: AM:As many rounds as possible in 20 minutes of run 200 meters rest 30 secondsI did 13 rounds, went a tiny bit over 20 minutes. Since the time change it is sooo dark when I run in the AM on weekdays. Boo. Will probably use the treadmill more for weekday runs until it gets lighter out. The street I use for running intervals (not much traffic, large wide sidewalks, no traffic lights for about 800m) is kind of sketchy. I felt kind of scared this morning being out there by myself.

Rob PMFF Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 What's a kabocha? Does it taste like kombucha? Good job on your running WOD. 13 rounds is a lot for 20 min. I wish I didn't hate running so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lobsteriffic Posted March 17, 2011 Author Share Posted March 17, 2011 I used to hate running but now I really enjoy it! The hardest part is convincing myself to get out of bed and put on my running shoes. Kabocha is a Japanese pumpkin/squash type thing, I think it's my favourite squash, yum!

lobsteriffic Posted March 18, 2011 Author Share Posted March 18, 2011 03/18/11: AM:5 min. warm-up jogrun 2 x 10 minutes rest 5 minutes between interval, then 2 x 2 minutes rest 1 minute between interval I was on the treadmill and I have no idea what distance I covered each interval. I wish the treadmill had a lap button or something. Anyway, next time I should take a piece of paper with me so I can jot it down. My final distance was 3.66 miles or something like that, but that's including the warm-up jog as well as the treadmill going really slowly during the rest period.

lobsteriffic Posted March 20, 2011 Author Share Posted March 20, 2011 03/19/11: AM:60 min. run for distance = 6.02 miles I was disappointed in this. I was aiming for at LEAST 6.2 miles. But I'm going to partially blame it on the weather. It was pouring rain with a strong wind. Gross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaryStella Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 I take a notebook with me and just write down the important numbers. Nice job on the runs. Don't be disappointed you just did intervals the day before and you were close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
