I tried to keep my row pace under 1:40 (per 500m), but was only able to do that for the first 4-5 rounds. I did keep it under 1:50 for all rounds, but that last one was tough to do so. Those are some impressive rowing times. I'm happy when I can break 2min per 500m on repeats.

Thanks I think. I did have a decent break between 500's, so that helped. For some reason, even though I'm a tub of lard, I'm fairly efficient on a rower. I think it's the leg strength coupled with the tennis ball effect of my gut when I reset.

Chin-ups for arms intervaled with band stretching PT for the hip during work lunch break. The hospital provides us with a nice small gym that includes weights and various cardio machines.
30 minutes at home on the rower.

What does everyone think of a ketogenic diet? I have been on it about a month and half and have lost about 8lbs. I feel I am losing fat only, as I have gained strength and have never felt better in the gym.

I feel I am losing fat only, as I have gained strength and have never felt better in the gym. Ketogenic diet is primarily used to try and control recurring epileptic seizures. It is not so much a diet, but a life style. Works by making the body burn fat, but how long can you stick with it? Big with the body builders before a competition, but even they don't stick with it long term.

I've tasted some of that country and like it more than a little...Monongahela NF: Been hunting that national forest since I was a kid in junior high school. Some great places to hunt and some great scenery. Hiking around on Cheat or Back Mountain (or a hundred others up there) can get your attention early in the morning on opening day. Will If I remember correctly we were hunting around "Middle" mountain. S or SE of Glady, WV.

Warmup: Dynamic stretches
Stength/Skill: Overhead Squats 15-12-10 95#-105#-135#
Workout: AMRAP (rounds) in 11 min: 75# Overhead Squat - 25 reps Situps - 25 Reps
Completed 3 full rounds and 8 OHS on round 4. I did the first round of OHS unbroken, but had to break twice on the next two. Mostly due to my shoulders/upper back tiring and me losing form. I'm okay with the results and liked this workout.

Goal: do at least a sprint triathlon but hopefully an Olympic by late August. Should put me in good shape for MT elk in Sept.
Just coming off of 6 months recovering from cancer treatments. Lost close to 40lbs and have gained about 10 back. Endurance is primary focus with rides on the trainer, swimming, and short runs. Runs are tough because I had a foot long blood clot in my left leg as a result of the cancer treatments. Simple exercised for strength training. Started two-a-days yesterday.
Diet - last few months was getting as many calories as possible. Now I'm starting to wean it down to 2000-2500 quality calories.
Except for the run, I think goals are attainable.

First: 2:28, Second: 2:23, Third: 2:12 What do you weigh? Rowing is a lot like a horizontal power clean. Bigger guys have an advantage. I usually row with the fan set on four. IIRC I rowed 500m in 1:39 last year and gave myself a killer case of tendonitis in my lower back in the process. Not gettin warm enough will bite you. An interesting exercise on the rower is, AFTER GETTING REALLY WARM, seeing how hard you can pull with the erg set on watts, one pull

Currently 165, but prefer to be between 155 and 158.
Easy to maintain when I can run more, but the hip problem has slowed that down considerably.
Todays row was an easy run. Again on 6.5.

Ok guys thought I'd chime in. Just back from a 3.25 mile run with some pretty steep hills. 70 pushups and some curls with a 25 lb. dumbbell . Run every other day rarely miss. Do 50-70 pushups every other day as well. Have been keeping track for 2014 on the pushups this makes 1640 so far. Since I am 5' 11" and weigh 140 running is what I do best. Will start doing 400 meter intervals on the high school track when the weather breaks. Maybe do a couple 5k road races this spring to see how I hold up in my age group.

How many carbs are you allowed per day on your particular ketogenic diet? Normal is 40 to 50 carbs per day.
