Re: Staving off the decline, part deux
Cardio: Cycled for 30:14 on the indoor trainer. Covered 8.24 miles and averaged 16.3 mph, based on wheel revolutions. Average/normalized/max power: 148/152/231W. Average cadence: 90 rpm. Felt surprisingly good, and for once I didn’t need a long warmup.
GPS is fine for capturing speed and distance on outdoor rides, but of course it's useless on a stationary trainer (aside from comic relief, as it produces a map where it looks like I've wandered around all over my house and sometimes the neighboring ones). Fortunately I also have a Garmin gizmo that computes speed and distance by counting rear wheel revolutions.

Re: Staving off the decline, part deux
Bench: warmups (45 x 8, 75 x 7, 105 x 6, 135 x 4); 160 x 2 @10; 130 x 3, 4, 5, 6, 3, 4, 5, 5 (35 total reps), paused, @6-9.5, at 2.5-minute intervals.
I think that was the first time I benched more than 155 for more than a single. I certainly wasn't planning to try a volume PR, but it felt doable, and it was by a hair.
Hammer curls: 15s x 15x 4
Lateral delt raises: 10s x 15,15, 12, 12
BB front raises: 22.5 x 15 x 4
Rear delt raises: 10s x 15, 15, 15, 12

Re: Staving off the decline, part deux
Machines at In-Shape:
Biceps curls: 40 x 15 x 3
Seated triceps extensions: 60 x 15 x 3
Plate-loaded row: 60 x 15 x 3 (first two sets supinated, last set pronated)
Matrix incline press: 70 x 10 x 3
Hip abductor: 125 x 15 x 3
Hip flexor: 70 x 15 x 3
Lat pulldown: 80 x 15 x 3
Hip adductor: 135 x 15 x 3
Leg press: 235 x 10 x 3
Seated dip: 80 x 15 x 3
Matrix hamstring curl: 50, 40, 40 x 15
Quad extension: 85 x 15 x 3
This was my first time on the machines since before my recent sick spell, so I did 3 sets instead of the usual 4 on everything. To avoid long waits I used a couple of Matrix machines that I haven't used before. They worked fine, but the numbers on the plates didn't stroke the ego the way I'm used to.

Re: Staving off the decline, part deux
Cardio: Walked and jogged 4.32 miles in 54:57, averaging 4.72 mph (possibly high precision coupled with dubious accuracy)
Bench: warmups (45 x 8, 75 x 7, 105 x 6, 135 x 3); 165 x 1 @10 (ugh); 145 x 2, 3, 4, 4, 2, 3 @6-9, every 2.5 minutes
Squat: warmups (45 x 8, 85 x 7, 125 x 6); 155 x 5 x 6 @6, every 3 minutes
Squats felt a lot better than last time, but still below average.

Re: Staving off the decline, part deux
Cardio: Cycled 13.56 miles in 52:42, averaging 15.4 mph. Average/normalized/20-minute/30-minute/max power: 153/160/166/162/532W. Average cadence: 81 rpm.
This was my longest and hardest bike ride since the cold that I caught before Christmas. That was also one of my higher average power numbers, even though I only went hard for about 30 minutes, so that was encouraging. Anything that makes me breathe hard (like this ride) still irritates my airways and makes me cough afterwards, but I trust that'll stop eventually.

Almost back to what I was doing a month ago, except that for some reason I couldn't quite hack the full four sets on biceps curls and lat pulldowns. Also I went lighter than usual on hip abductors as a precaution since I've had some soreness in that area on my right side.

I came down with a cold again on Jan. 17 and went a week without training, just as I was getting pretty nearly back to where I was before the preceding illness. So now it's time to start pushing the boulder up the slope once again.
Two days ago and today I subbed in a trig class at the college where I used to teach. Two days ago it was the class's first meeting of the semester, which made it a little weird. But the moment I uncapped a marker and started talking about the math, it all just flowed. I hadn't given a real in-person lecture since the eve of the pandemic, so it was a nice feeling to confirm I've still got it! Not that there was any doubt; I'm ever bitass shrap as hey you Birdbrain cloud!!!!1!@#$%^&*( I ever was.

Re: Staving off the decline, part deux
Cardio: Cycled 36 minutes on the indoor training. No distance figure because my cool wheel revolution counting thingie no longer works. Mostly just rode at a moderately easy pace except for a single 1-minute effort. Average/normalized/1-minute/max power: 110/140/300/377W.
Bench: warmups (45 x 8, 75 x 7, 105 x 6, 135 x 3); 160 x 1 @9; 140 x 4, 5, 5, 2, 3, 4, 3, 3 (29 total reps) @7-9, every 2.5 minutes
Squats: warmups (45 x 6, 85 x 5, 125 x 4); 155 x 5 x 5 @<6, every 2.5 minutes
That was a pretty chaotic rep scheme on bench. I planned on a sort of wavy backoff thing like 4, 5, 6, 3, 4, 5, 2, 3, 4, but that was a bit too much so I made it up on the fly.

Re: Staving off the decline, part deux
Cardio: Cycled 32 minutes on the indoor trainer. Did six 20-second intervals in decreasing gears (50x13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18), with rests of 2 minutes 40 seconds. Average/normalized/20-second/max power: 86/166/529/640W. Average/max rpm: 74/138. As expected, highest power was on the first interval and highest rpm was on the last, not because it was last but because I used the lowest gear on that one.

Re: Staving off the decline, part deux
I was in Oregon visiting my son for a few days, then did substitute teaching and chores yesterday. The biggest chore was clearing the street of our liquid amber tree's seed pods, which are the size of gumballs, hard as rocks, and quite treacherous to walk on. I try to keep them swept off the street so no passersby will turn an ankle. (We don't have sidewalks, so everyone walks in the street.) If I miss a few days it gets to be a real mess, and this time it was extra bad because there had been some high winds.
Cardio: Cycled 30 minutes on the indoor trainer. Just went easy except for one minute near the end. Average/normalized/1-minute/max power: 119/130/226/313W.
Bench: 45 x 8, 75 x 7, 105 x 6, 135 x 3, 160 x 1 @8.5, 110 x 6 x 8 @<6, every 2.5 minutes, all paused. Did the last set with close grip and feet on the bench, just for fun.
Deadlift: 135 x 6, 175 x 5, 215 x 4, 255 x 1, 295 x 1 @8.5

Seated triceps extension: 60 x 15 x 3

Leg press: 235 x 10 x 3
Hip flexor: 70 x 15 x 3
This was my first workout on the machines in three weeks, and I had a cold in the meanwhile, so I did just 3 sets instead of 4 on everything. It still felt pretty hard, so I think that was the right call.

DB flyes: 17.5s x 15 x 3
Seems like the "pec decks" at the In-Shape always make my elbows hurt, so I decided to start doing dumbbell flyes again. That's all I had time for today.

Machine biceps curl: 40 x 15 x 3
Hamstring curl: 55 x 15 x 3
Seated dip: 80 x 15 x 3
Hip adductor: 135 x 15 x 3
Plate-loaded row (Precor): 60 x 15 x 3
Leg press: 235 x 10 x 3
Hip flexor: 70 x 15 x 3
This was my first workout on the machines in three weeks, and I had a cold in the meanwhile, so I did just 3 sets instead of 4 on everything. It still felt pretty hard, so I think that was the right call.

DB flyes: 17.5s x 15 x 3
Seems like the "pec decks" at the In-Shape always make my elbows hurt, so I decided to start doing dumbbell flyes again. That's all I had time for today.

Re: Staving off the decline, part deux
Now hosting my third cold since December 20. When I was a kid I was sick about half the time each winter, so in that sense I feel young again.

Re: Staving off the decline, part deux
The abovementioned cold turned out to be Covid. I've had three positive tests so far, including yesterday. Paxlovid seems to be helping, but it's annoyingly slow. No training yet, save a few drive-by chinups and presses, but hoping to re-engage Sisyphus mode soon!

Re: Staving off the decline, part deux
Day 17 of Covid, still testing positive. The symptoms have largely abated, except for a sort of generally shitty feeling. Seems like it's taking an awfully long time, but if we had home test kits for the common cold, I bet they'd sometimes be positive for weeks on end too.
I haven't been training, but otherwise am doing normal stuff, with an N95 on if it involves being around other people. Some unknown person managed to give me Covid despite my being pretty damn careful, so I'm trying not to do to others what I wish that person hadn't done to me.
I think tomorrow I'll at least try a little upper body work, if I'm feeling about the same or better. I'll hold off a bit longer on running and cycling, as I've had some unpleasant results in the past with doing cardio when I'm not completely over something - but man, I'm longing for it.
