Cheers buddy!

@bigmitch7901 Thanks for the feedback, any suggestions on something that would be effective?

@LeonForsterHulst I'm assuming the goal is hypertrophy?

​@@bigmitch7901for this particular workout it wasn't the aim, just wanted to lift weights and target the upper body and be done quick sharp. I spend more time cycling as my main sporting activity, but appreciate the value of weight lifting. Strength and conditioning is probably where my focus should be, but still interested in your thoughts 🙂

@@LeonForsterHulst I see. More of a longer-term endurance athlete then. For most sports (I do combat sports) hypertrophy and strength is beneficial. Hypertrophy doesn't have to mean being a bodybuilder. Although in endurance sports like that I can see how you'd want to keep your weight down and stay lighter. Not exactly my domain of expertise. That being said, at least from the way I train for my sports, this is my opinion: Any exercises that combine two movements into one (like you starting with the dumbbell close to the floor and lifting it over head) is mostly bullshit. Unless it's a specific movement like the clean and jerk to generate power (which this wasn't) The kettle-bell row you did I'd like to see your back being more perpendicular to the floor, less upright, as well as making it more stable by maybe leaning on something. Push-ups are decent, but they're even better when you elevate your hands to allow a deeper stretch and ROM for your chest. Not sure what your core finisher movement was, but looks like you were trying to target the obliques. Most people shouldn't train obliques. From an aesthetics perspective it's bad, but some sports might benefit from it (like combat sports, not cycling though) For abs, a good crunching movement and maybe a leg raise (for lower abs) is really all you need. No isometrics like planks, that many of those simple workout apps like to add in. The dumbbell overhead press (if you do it) should probably be done with both arms at the same time. There's no benefit here to doing one at a time, except more fatigue stabilising yourself. Although most people are completely fine not doing any overhead press or direct front delt work, since if you do plenty of chest pressing movements your front delts will likely develop just fine. Also the movement where you swing a plate behind your back (forgot what it's named), for most people is pretty useless. Although there are exceptions to nearly everything, cycling surely isn't one. I'd only do something like that if it was specific to a movement I had to do at my job or sport. After all that was said, I obviously didnt see your whole workout, but from what I've seen you didn't get close to failure a single time. Should be at least within 2-3 reps of hitting technical muscular failure.

Firstly, thanks for such detailed advice and critique. Hypertrophy used to be my focus, but over the last few years and with focusing on cycling, it's shifted. I dip into it from time to time though. I agree with most of your points, and some elements of them were incorporated in the workout, just not shown. The downside of attempting to keep the short, short... And my choice of clips maybe 🤷 The core workout incorporated more, I just didn't show it, but ended with russian twists... I'm not particularly keen because of the impact on the lower back, only did two rotations and finished up. Camera angles on the others didnt look great 😬 Dumbell halos, personally, their only benefit is when used as a warmup with a light weight. Opens up the shoulders. Not a regular in my routines. Just good to mix things up every now and then I guess. And working to failure, I did... But again, just chose different clips 🤷

@@dannyardila1224 yeah I've seen a time around that region. Super Speedy Gaming. I might have to revisit it again, fastest I've got is 28 seconds

❤

Thank you! Stoked you enjoyed it!

What's up buddy! Thanks for checking out the vid, hope you enjoyed it!? 😊

Thanks buddy! 😊 Really appreciate the continued support, means a lot!!

Thanks buddy! Glad you enjoyed it ☺️

Thanks buddy! Yeah it'll be interesting to see how many unlocks in future challenges are items that have been in the core game. It was a good roadmap, still amazes me how well supported the game is after so long! And I agree, something new for the festive season would be amazing. Even if it is a new jumper!!

Ah ok, what particular features make it better for climbing practice?

Thanks dude 😎 really appreciate that!

Yeah it should be! Challenges are rarely timed 🙂

@@LeonForsterHulst thanks bro I got it

Nice one buddy! 😎

Thanks man! Really appreciate the feedback, and thanks for watching!

Thanks dude, stoked you love it!

The target is part of a challenge in the level, and you can "mark" targets just by taking them out. Pretty crafty way of making a contract and expecting players to know about the challenge.

Never considered that, but yeah... It does, don't it 😄

@@beetroot133 I'd like to try Buttertubs in better conditions, is a toughie for sure! Park Rash though 😮 that's a gnarly one!!

its a great route. in the dales, id say the top 5 climbs in order of difficulty are fleet moss (from hawes), park rash (from kettlewell), the fleak (from askrigg), buttertubs (from thwaite), langliffe scar or lamps moss

@@htukmumfie Thanks for the list! And for watching 🙂 Do you ride these climbs and the dales often?

@@LeonForsterHulst yep. i switch between dales, pennines and moors from weekend to weekend. great area to be based👍

@@htukmumfie absolutely is! Spoilt for choice 😎

Thanks 😊

@@rogerpembery4281 yeah I've definitely felt the synthetic granny gear at the higher percentages. I'm content for the time being with my trainer, I'm far from exceeding its limitations 😅 TrainerDay, I'll have to give that a whirl at some point as well

Thanks for the well wishes and for watching! Glad you enjoyed it 😊 3 min max effort sounds like torture, might have to give that one a go 😅

I'm stoked to hear! 😎

Thanks! That's awesome to hear 😊

It's been a while for me, but if my memory serves me right, if you kill an NPC they automatically become a target.

@@LeonForsterHulst ha yes, that may be the case.

Thanks for the well wishes and watching! I'll defo give Kinomaps a go, sounds ideal especially with an interactive trainer. And yeah, super fortunate with what roads are close by, just a shame I have the north east weather to deal with 😅

Yeah i did!

That was very impressive

​@Iamsorrybaldi thanks!

Thanks buddy, stoked you like it!!

Thanks buddy, glad you enjoyed it and I hope you enjoy the other videos 🙂

And you did an excellent job as well!! Really enjoyed them 🙂
