Workout Log: Sean Ryan

Thanks Steve!

Hey all! Sorry for not being online over the weekend, i have been on the border between Scotland and England since friday with my girlfriend so havn't had internet access. Anyway i am back now and in fighting shape!

No chance to workout over the weekend, and saddened by the fact that i actually didnt complete one week 6 routine last week - although i did the massive gym session, the 300 workout, and hard hours in the pool. Going to be back on track this week with week 7 (the 300 workout week) and damn i am looking forward to it!

I ordered Ross' books, Never Gymless, Infinite Intensity, and Full Throttle Conditioning (inc Dvd) and they arrived this morning. I cannot wait to read through these beasts of books and incorporate his methods into my training. I will also write a review of them on here so you will all know what you are missing!

When i get a chance i will be blog surfing today and checking up on everyones progress. Keep up the hard work guys, nearly half way through this program - and it is worth the blood, sweat, and tears!

Just for a laugh i thought i would post this picture.



Me in the 50m breaststroke. Excuse the poor quality as it is a picture of a picture. Every time i see this i laugh, what a face i am pulling! lol.

And also for those that noticed, that isn't my hat either. lol. It was a good race.

Night,

Sean

Good job, mate

And....funny picture

I’m loving the photo Sean, and well done with competition. I guess you have overcome the goggle problems you had last time you competed.

Cheers guys.

Sorry Pete, i was actually blind when swimming that lol. I need to get some new goggles. Meh, maybe next weekend.

Well counties are over now, and what a few weeks they have been. I will post time updates at some point tomorrow.

I have decided to do a program based on the information in a book called Infinite Intensity. Its going to be a long, hard, and painful experiance but i know the results will be incredible.

Also on a side note, i have an idea for the next set of competitions to run on this forum. I will put these by people nearer the end of this one.

Night,

Sean

Comments appreciated.

Enjoy!!

What a weekend. Sad to say absolutly no time for training...BUT...i did kinda make up for it.

Bank holiday Friday:
Me and my dad had some bonding time...we demolished his conservatory. It took us 5 hours in the freezing cold. Good thing, i got to make use of my new 10lb sledgehammer.

Saturday to Monday:
Redocorating my room, none stop painting and taking apart units and beds.

So although i didnt do any specific training i have not stopped moving and i have not stopped being high off paint fumes

Tonight i have some strength training and core training to complete followed by 2 hours of swimming.

I know what you mean Sean, holidays really mess up the routine, for me the problem was food when visiting family, and all those Easter eggs. It was a tough few days.

what a session last night...

When the pool is hotter than my morning shower i know i am in trouble. 2 hours in a sweltering pool, we are talking close to 35 degrees.

I cannot remember the sets we were doing but the sprints really made you feel dizzy and un-energetic...

...i hope the tempreture is back to normal by Thursday.

Death by Circuit Training last night. And i dont mean normal circuit training, i mean swimming circuit training.

Station 1: dive in, sprint half way, turn, sprint back, get out, repeat
Station 2: sprint backstroke turns
Station 3: Push-ups from the water (body in water hands on pool side and push yourself up)
Station 4: Jump in the water, get out the water, repeat

All are done for 1 minute

You might not think that looks too hard but the second time through you can tell i was giving it my all, through all the pain. On the push-ups i did 27 in the first set, the other guys my age did between 23 and 26, and then on the second set i did 26 and they did less than 20. I think i proved who was the fittest!

And yes i am paying for it this morning as i ache so much!

All worth it!

Ha ha

Damn man, sounds like an awesome intense workout. Can only be good for your body. It may hurt now but the pay off is worth any pain you put yourself through in order to get fitter

PEACE
Steve
