Thursday Double Session – Strength & Endurance


Started the day early at 6:00 AM with a serious leg day session at the gym:

• Back Squat: 6 sets (20 to 6 reps)
• Leg Extension: 5 sets + 2 Drop Sets
• Deadlift: 4 heavy sets (15 to 8 reps)
• Lying Leg Curl: 4 sets
• Standing Calf Raises: 7 sets

Focused on full range, time under tension, and progressive overload. Quads, hamstrings, glutes – all lit up.


Then at 5:30 PM, went out for a zone 2 cycling ride:

• Distance: 31.96 km
• Elevation gain: 367 m
• Duration: 1h15
• Avg. Power: 157 W

Mainly stayed in aerobic endurance and recovery zones, keeping a steady pace. Legs were tired but managed to hold good watts – building that hybrid engine. ️

@xyle9999 flat dumbbell fly and pull over are very solid. much respect for the iron training on both cardio and weights. that is what you have to do

Saturday – Active Recovery Day & Carb Refeed]

No gym today but still moving!


Started the morning with a 20-minute fasted incline walk (10% at 5 km/h) to get the blood flowing and fire up fat oxidation.


In the afternoon, I went for a road cycling session – 43.6 km in 1h37 with a decent intensity (average 172W / HR 127 bpm). Half of the ride was in the rain, so unfortunately no photos today, my phone was safely tucked inside my rain jacket the whole time .


Today was a carb refeed day (P2 plan – 2500 kcal), perfectly timed after some glycogen depletion. Great way to keep performance high and recovery sharp.


Staying consistent and adapting to conditions. Rain or shine – we move!

As im an IT guy i love to track all data on my garmin thanks for the comment bros

 

[xyle9999]

@xyle9999 flat dumbbell fly and pull over are very solid. much respect for the iron training on both cardio and weights. that is what you have to do

Thanks now is multiple year than I do cardio every day some time
Very hard sometimes more light but every day and since I’m doing that I feel much better

 

[xyle9999]

@xyle9999 bros you looking like a beast. i like the training so far. keep pushing things

Thanks bros

Not sure but with the 2 weeks where I trained less because of the love is like is give me a small reset or recover and since I restarted I really feel more power so I thinking to maybe every 8 weeks to make a deload week where I train with lighter weight and more focus on execution and tempo and on cardio side to do only zone 2 like 50 % of the normale volume

[8 Months Into Gears – Lessons Learned So Far ]


It’s been about 8 months since I started experimenting with gear, and I wanted to share a few key takeaways. I’m still just a beginner in this journey, but here’s what I’ve learned so far – and I’d love to hear your own experiences and feedback too.


Training: Less Ego, More Intent


The biggest shift has been in how I train. I stopped chasing numbers just for the sake of it. Instead of always pushing heavier weights, I’ve learned to pull back, focus on controlled tempo, better execution, and adjust volume wisely. More isn’t always better. Sometimes less weight, done slower and better, delivers far more results.


Nutrition: Daily Adjustments & Listening to the Body

My nutrition has become more flexible and smarter. I now adapt macros – especially carbs – based on training demands. On heavy lifting or long endurance days, I add highly digestible carbs like dextrin, cream of rice, or oat flour post-session. I also refeed before long rides and fuel properly during to avoid digging too deep. Being in tune with my energy and fatigue levels changed everything.


Health: Tracking and Recovery First


Gear mean responsibility. I’ve been tracking my bloodwork regularly to monitor how my body reacts. I also realized that sleep, recovery, and stress management matter just as much as training and diet. What helped me a lot?


10-15 mins of foam rolling and yoga every evening. Simple, but a real game changer.

I know I’m still at the start of this path, and there’s a lot more to learn and fine-tune. I’m definitely open to learning from you guys – let me know what your biggest lessons were when you started Gear, or what you would do differently.


Stay smart, stay healthy.
