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?
