Ripped for Raro 2016
-
Inspired by the ol boy @JK I did some stair "sprints" yesterday. Fucken fantastic burn in the legs and lungs in a very short period of time. I was only going up and down for less than ten minutes and was hammered in a short period of time. Way better that than doing cardio for a long time and risk losing my gains bro !

I did stair sprints last night but hadn't posted it in my thread yet...
Was that you @MN5 in the bushes then making all those grunting noises????

Here are some pics of the patented MN5 stairs of doom, just a few brisk walks up and down them this morning, with the recent weather I'd be stupid to run and risk slipping and fucking myself up !
Photos don't really do them justice.......bit of a blind spot as you're running up which is potentially dangerous if someones coming the other way !

Feeling E=MC Hammered after this morning brutal stairs workout. Went up and down 5 times WITHOUT ANY rest whatsoever, whole thing woulda taken 6-8 minutes but legs were like jelly, lungs absolutely killing me.....hard work just ambling across the flat to get home.
But that vs a one hour run ? no contest.....
Will aim for this three times a week ( Monday, Wednesday, Friday ) with a day off to recover cos it's potentially tough on the joints. Still a bit muddy even though it hasn't rained in a few days today too.

I like that there is a Danger signed pinned on those stairs. Big Red on a rampage!!

The homoeroticism of this thread is getting to "Rocky" stages boys, please be careful.....

Stairs of doom this morning and Monday. Feeling a slight ache around the glutes so might get a rub down from the better half tonight if I play my cards right. I'm aiming to do this three times a week ( the running, massages are welcome anytime ) but thinking perhaps scaling back and taking a "less is more" approach ? interested in thoughts on this. I do love that I can totally destroy myself in about 10 or so minutes but I should probably listen to my body.
I think I'm getting better at doing them, the stairs are uneven and slippery so it's good for the co-ordination too.
-
Bit of soreness isn't too much of a problem. You doing any warm down or stretching afterwards?
I'd just watch out for slipping bro, sounds like you are running up a death trap!
-
Yeah I do both before and after and the walk home afterwards ( usually about 5 minutes but takes me 10 after the workout ) is good for a bit of active type recovery particularly getting up the drive which is a breeze when I'm fresh but akin to climbing Everest when I'm not !
