Day 3, row
Day 3, row, is a recovery day. I've referred to it as one long rhythmic massage, involving a huge percentage of my muscle mass flexing - out with the old in with the new kinda work. And, it makes me feel better.
Tomorrow is a weights day. Recall I did two B splits in a row. I plead insanity. Now, I'm going with 2 A splits in a row, to return balance to the universe.
IF I remember ...

Day 2, walk
June 22, 2026
Day 1, Weights A
June 21, 2026
Day 6, row
Day 6, row, is a recovery day, such as it is. Didn't need more, and wanted way less. Fun stuff.
Followed by 2 x 20 bench crunches.
June 20, 2026
Day 5, walk
Day 5, walk, is a recovery exercise after Weights B, and holy hell did I need it. I was rather beat up and stiff from that, and the walk helps that go away. Kindly notice that I didn't walk far.
This is the first recovery day this 12 cycle run (today is Day 5 of 6, cycle 9 of 12) where I was that whacked. Somewhere there's a reason ...

Day 4, Weights B
Until this A/B split, I never did 02_ DB shoulder presses. Bad left shoulder, once upon a time. Doing them with cables/stacks is even more sloppy. I'm taking forever to find something that feels like proper positioning. That's what added some extra time to the session duration. Let's see if I do it right next time.
03_standing cable crunch is much lighter in B (8 plates) than A (11 plates). Use 10 plates next time.

Day 3, row
Day 3, row, is the 2nd recovery day from Weights A. Sometimes, I wonder if it is. There's times when I'm slow and underpowered, like today, and there's times otherwise. Dunno why.
Anyhow, I did it.
June 17, 2026
Day 2, walk
Day 2, walk, is about recovering from Day 1, Weights A. Yeah, I did it, and yeah, been here before, couldn't say I liked it. But hey, PAI points !!
June 16, 2026
Day 1, Weights A
Day 1, Weights A, is the heavier of the A/B split days. Today is the start of the 9th cycle of 12. Then, a deload week or so.
Started w/ a 5 minute row, just to warm up / loosen up. Duration was 29 minutes. The set felt good, not too heavy/light. nailed it.
It is undeniable, to me, that I'm improving / getting easier at this. Keep in mind, this is the very first 'clean' Weights A day. I'm pleased.
June 15, 2026
Day 6, row
Day 6, row, it intended to be prep for the next weights set. Just get loose and endure.
It has occurred to me, I started rowing with a 5warmup X cycles of (6min row 1min easy row). When I started, I could barely maybe get thru the first 6 minutes. Now, I don't recall the last time I had to pause/rest on the rower. 40 minutes is very doable, and I have room, if not capability, to go harder,

Doing the work. Married 51 years ago today. Much love ...
Day 5, walk
Day 5, walk is a recovery day. I needed one. Of course, tracker started 10 minutes late. One can prolly tell from the map. Well, that happens, I thought. Doing the work, and all that. Until it wasn't supposed to rain until 10am-ish. And, I started to get wet about 30 seconds after i started the tracker. And for the 14 minutes that followed ...

Day 4, Weights B
Unless I find some unfulfilled need otherwise, I intend to add 5%-10% load to this session list. That'll start the next 6 day cycle.
June 12, 2026
Day 3, row
Day 3, row, is intended to be an active recovery day. Had done a few 40 minute runs. Stopped here, near 30 minutes, because I'm feeling tired. NBD.
June 11, 2026
Day 2, walk
Day 2, walk, is a recovery day. Need to recover from grok using the word 'lazy' to describe some of my sessions. Partially true, mostly false, and pissed me off.
June 10, 2026
Day 1, weights A - Today is day 1, of cycle 8, and exercise sets.
Day 1, weights A, is the start of the new 6 day cycle. there's 12 of those in the 'season'.
Went thru the entire exercise session w/o issue, except:
- I could use a new set list sheet w/ all the numbers correct
- still have issues integrating the work w/o repeated viewing
Everything felt nicely heavy. the 32 minute duration I ascribe to handle/pully height wtf strikes.
June 9, 2026
Day 6, row
Day 6, row, is a stretch/recovery mechanical move. I've started to do 40 minute legs, about 6000 meters.
June 8, 2026
Day 5, walk
June 7, 2026
Day 4, weights B
Tracker started way way late, and it's not happy about it. Changeovers are still shaky. Give it one more session before weights/reps progress.
“If you are scared, it’s better you stop”
June 6, 2026
Day 3, row
Tomorrow, Weights B, could be fun-ish.
June 5, 2026
Day 2, walk
Day 2, walk, is intended to help me recover from Day 1, Weights A. Today is day 3 of exercise cycle 7 of 12. First time I recall looking fwd to a deload week. 12 cycles first.
This day was glorious, I felt just fine, and wanted to push a bit. Still pissed about my VO2Max score on the stress test.
June 4, 2026
Day 1, weights A
Day 1, Weights A, is the heavy day of the split. Having issue remembering that 04_ is 8 plates (2x4) not 12 plates (2x6). Two in a row. All others felt normal-ish enuf. 30 minutes duration. That's twice in a row.
Other than being pissed about my VO2Max stress test result, I'm otherwise unhurt, decently rested, and my other numbers are OK. I don't know what I might do about it, but I'm hopeful I won't hurt myself when I turn to crush it.
June 3, 2026
Day 6, row
Started tracker 7min late, and includes 2x20 bench crunches.
Yesterday was my every 3 years exercise stress test. I was down about 1 METs, test over test. I was, and am still, not f'ing amused. I also learned that VO2Max = stress test METs * 3.5. That's good to know. My EKG was textbook pretty.
June 2, 2026
Day 5, walk
Day 5, walk, is a recovery day from Weights B. Done and done.
Next up, 2pm today, Exercise Stress Test. Looking for VO2Max to mod my exercise focus.
{in edit} VO2Max dropped from 39.2 to 35.35. That's a lot.

Day 4, weights B
Day 4, weights B, is the lighter of the A/B split. Did it all, familiar with all exercises but 02_cable shoulder press. That's still somewhat unfamiliar territory.
Notes of interest:
- got my hr up doing this split. curious.
- feeling confortable with exercise by exercise progression thru the session set, but still 'move the bench' twitchy. that's a good problem.
- i'm comfortable with all the weights. even 02_ felt almost doable. still feels heavy, sloppy form. Not sure what musculature needs more work, but it's available ...
- duration (31min) was OK, but seems too long. I dunno ...
