I'm surprised my VO2Max is still progressing even though I've cut back from 5 to 2 sessions on the bike per week. Granted each sesssion is considerably longer than the old average but I suspect the leg exercises in the weight room are carrying over to the bike somewhat and it's not like the other stuff I do doesn't have a cardio component to it.

I swapped the squats with the power cleans since the second short workout is always just before class. I'm finding the power clean prepares me for class better than the squats and are easier to recover quickly from.

Also decided to start squeezing in a med ball 200 after class on Saturdays. If I skip shaving I still get home at the same time.

Chin-ups (kind of a pet project) are getting better but I've cut back the number of sets by stepping up the reps (2-4) and burning out on them faster. I'm thinking of maybe checking out the assisted pull-up machine to get my reps up a couple times a week but only if I can get it to hurt in the right places. Hey. It's better than doing bicep curls.
