for those who haven't seen this.

Don't worry too much about your HR for now. If you feel comfortable on 78% then great. Your avg and max heart rate will drop as your fitness levels pick up. Remember that your heart is also one big muscle that gets stronger. As your heart gets stronger and bigger it will be able to pump through more blood with each pump thus needing to pump less beats making you more energy efficient. What I like hearing here is that you are actually starting too listen to your body and start to realize with what levels you are comfortable. Thats already a big step in the right direction. If you want I can adjust the program a little for you in terms of the suggested HR.

The winner of today's alloutmtb competition is DirkGreeff. Congratulations Dirk. I hope the GUTR sweat band will come to good use and we hope to see you at the Nissan Hazeldean race. Lets see who takes the honors for tomorrow's competition.

Howzit AirMaverick, A few guys have given feedback and it seems they doing fine. At least they are for now. I'm waiting for when they get to week 9 when the real intense training starts. Hows your training going, your very quiet.

Another reminder about the exercise demos on alloutmtb. I'm loading some more tonight. I will also add a filter to make it easier to search for specific exercises.

Ive made the correction.

My apologies. I will correct the numbering on the routines. But to answer your question, Yes, 1a,1b,2a,2b equates to 1,2,3,4. Regarding plate taps. You will see next to the exercise is a link "Demo". Click that and it will take you to a video demo and explanation of the exercise. Not all of the exercises have demo's yet, those that don't have will be added tomorrow and Saturday.

We have a winner for the competition. I'm just waiting for a repsonse/permission from the hubber before I can announce his name. He will receive his GUTR sweat band in the post and his Nissan Hazeldean entry next week. We are running the exact same competition for tomorrow Friday 3 June as well. Read first post for more info. Happy Friday tomorrow hubbers!

we will do a follow up article on this next week. It will focus on core strength development.

For those of you who didn't see the post this morning. Check it out.
