Hey all, just thought to open a new thread focused on the training apart from the general discussion for motivation. Please share your axe practice! Be aware of not revealing the program if you choose to share.
So far I've had 2 sessions. 40 sets easy on the low rep scheme at 32kg 40%. Second time out I did barbell squats before the session per Pavel and then rested a bit. The axe session was done at higher rep scheme and went to 20 sets and called time though there was more. Heart rate briefly peaking at 147.
Guessing my lactate threshold is around 155 plus or minus 5. I got my heart rate up to 180 at 47 years old on a swim earlier in the summer so taking that at the high and the 10 min run effort 130 to 140 depending on the heat...halfway between is 155 to 160. Gonna use the LT limit in conjunction with the other stop signs. I have a 40kg, so I may try that next time out at the low reps.
So my set up is this-
Mon - AXE & Presses
Tues - SE Squats & Pull
Wed - Rest or LISS
Thurs - SE Squats 85% Day & Axe
Fri - Rest
Sat - SE Squats & Nordic Curls
Sun - Rest or LISS
Any day I have a bit left in the tank I'll grab the Sled and push pull press rotate and or row it.
Planning to post training results with the HR here to share the experience of the plan! Very curious to see how you all are doing with AXE and the motivation that brings. To your health!
