This Sunday's devotional included a comprehensive reading from the book of strength. More specifically, how to get stronger by lifting lighter weights. With the strength pathway being most subjective to sabotage by the demands of auxiliary activity we must not abandon the torpedo tubes to the rust of discouragement. Essentially, if the weight is too light it should be exploited in other ways. Our bodies are like potentiometers ready to be adjusted to the demands of the task.
ReplyDeleteIn an effort to increase and maintain power output on the row a 20 second 1:1 work rest ratio was used for 8 intervals. Score: 97. Previous score using tabata tempo scored 88. Double the rest and maintaining the same stroke rate brought the increase. With a few misses the pace yielded one calorie per stroke. The only way to increase calories at this point is to increase the stroke rate or row faster while maintaining the same power output. Squeezing more juice out of the rock seems to be the best remedy for all of the deficiencies plaguing our quest for circumnavigating our own demanding worlds.
