Stairs and Deadlifts, a fun way to spend the day

As you may have guessed by the title, today’s training consisted of some stair climbing (actual stairs, not some silly machine) and a hefty portion of good old deadlifts. Here is exactly what I did:

AM, focus is fat loss and conditioning

  • stair climbing, 50 stories total, 
    • first 8 stories taking 1 step at a time
    • from then on I took 2 steps at a time as often as possible
    • this took about 20 minutes and had me panting and sweating nicely

PM, deadlifts, focus on building strength

  • deadlift, worked up to a heavy but not max single
  • dropped the weight to 80% and maxed our reps
  • flex band leg curls 3 x 20
  • flex band standing crunch 3 x 10

All in all it was a good day as I actually got off my butt and hit two workouts in the same day! How do you mix your strength and conditioning work?
