I won't clog up the thread, but feel free to PM me if you want some help with follow up and getting back to lifting.Had my last shoulder physio session this morning. That makes 6 in total and everything seems to have come together nicely in term of rehab. Only when I do some weird contortion stretching do I feel any impingement or pressure. Should something go awry, then we will revisit. For now, I've been told to get back into weights but to take it nice and slow on ramping up. For starters, it will just be empty barbells and dumbbells to start getting my (massive!!!) muscles working once again.
Man, sorry I didn't even see this, time to bring this thread back to LIFE!Joined Orangetheory almost a month ago. Just completed their Hell Week challenge - 5 hour long classes within an 8 day period. It was definitely tough…but we (the missus and I) did it!

Nice job Man with No Custom Title!
How does their training work, just peaked at their site, they say they are HR base HIT, are you wearing a HR monitor during the session or...?
Always interested to know what people are doing out there, sports science is one of my favorite topics.
Hey man, it sounds fun. HIT is well established to be effective, healthy training, and IMO it sounds smart to keep tabs on your HR via the zones. Endurance athletes have been doing that for ages already. Good stuff!No worries
Yes, it is HR based HIT. You do wear a monitor for the classes and have a goal to keep continuous movement in the exercises/reps being performed for the whole class and at the same time pushing yourself to reach and maintain the “orange zone” as far as heart rate (basically a very challenging pace of physical exertion without pushing to hard to where you burn out, pass out, or otherwise hurt yourself). There’s a “red zone” too that comes after the orange, basically letting you know that “you’re pushing really well, but maybe a bit too hard, you might want to back off a bit”. Leading up to orange is “grey” basically you aren’t even warmed up yet, “blue” you’re starting to move and get warmed up, and “Green” you’re fully warmed up and at your base HR.
One reviewer I read a while back put it really well…they’ve essentially gamified the workout class. The coaches are fun individuals, they play a range of upbeat music, etc.
