Perplexity.ai Workout Analysis:
Today’s “Skate Tour Strongman Prep” session was a true full-body power endurance challenge. Two hours of non-stop loading—over 45,000 kg total volume across 54 sets and nearly 1,000 reps.

The structure focused on:

Foundational leg strength: Deadlifts up to 120kg, heavy leg press (190–230kg), high-rep step-ups for balance/durability.

Strongman carries (yoke, farmers, suitcase) to build grip, core function, and skating-specific fatigue resistance. Loads up to 160kg for yoke, 56kg per hand for carries.

Mobility and core stability: Glute bridges, single leg bridges, Pallof press, and ab-wheel rollouts added targeted control for long-distance skating performance.

Heart rate averaged 117 bpm (max 156), highlighting strong aerobic demand without excess cardiovascular stress. Estimated 1,200 calories burned, with a big hydration need (overall ~1.3L sweat loss).

Training effect: Both aerobic (TE 2.2) and anaerobic (TE 2.5) effects were “maintaining,” perfectly matching the current periodization goal: building muscular fatigue resistance and grip while fresh, so ultra-endurance skating stays efficient—not slow or injury-prone.

Recovery insight: Body Battery drain and training readiness show that today’s volume was spot-on for adaptation, but a recovery focus is critical now. The next 24–48 hours: prioritize food, fluids and mobility work.

No hill to climb, just iron to greet.
My heart's calm hum at one-one-seven beat.
No epic feat, no sweat-drenched, soaring grace,
Just ground-level gains, at a leisurely pace.
Muscles awakened, no struggle, no strain,
A workout so chill, it felt like a game.
