Training Platform Poll Question
Earlier this week I asked about which training platform you used. I assumed the majority would say Training Peaks as it's been around the longest and most people are attached to it. I asked because TP is not the best when it comes to ease of use for strength training. While I like the new format which enables video integration, it still doesn't sync seamlessly, or enable merging of workout data the way it does for endurance training. Right now, if you do the Strength2Go workouts in TP, you must manually input your data within the workout inside of TP to get it to go "green", but also use heart rate and time data from your Garmin(or other) watch to get a TSS (Training Stress Score) and have it effect your overall fatigue/fitness levels. As I build out the Strtength2Go project, what are some of the things you think you'd like to see?

I use TP for my own workouts - as well as those of my athletes. But for me, it's more just an easy interface to plan my week. Although it does help to have metrics to track stress and recovery. As for strength training I agree that video integration is a great addition. Form is so important in strength training that it's helpful to see the full movement sometimes to understand what body position and posture is supposed to look like. For me, that's a great addition. But for sure, if the functionality is there, something that tracks like a TSS score is really what I'd be looking for.

Recovery sessions / practices
What's everyone here doing from a recovery standpoint? I'm not just talking about a rest day (or two) - but what techniques is everyone employing? I'm doing a cold-plunge just about daily (first thing) from a recovery and metabolic standpoint. But I do it early in the day, before workouts and especially before weights / strength - never after. But cold plunges, recovery days, and stretching every day is on my usual agenda.

@Jeff Boyer Interesting point on the cold plunge. I hear you on that - I'm only in there for 5-8 minutes at most. And the chiller keeps the temp between 53 and 56F. So it's not awful. Good metabolic benefit, and a little muscle benefit. But again, it has to be timed to not interfere with strength work and muscle hypertrophy. But first thing in the AM on most days - or anytime on rest days - it's pretty nice! Love the mobility work factor. Flexibility just isn't what it used to be for this old guy!

Valentine's Challenge
Team, Let's get things going this week. This week's Challenge: Get in at least two strength training sessions. - If you're already consistent with this, then try to get in an extra mobility session. - If you haven't touched a weight in a bit, go the classroom and choose a couple of workouts from either the Ignite full gym program, or from the Body weight program, and just get moving. - If you haven't tried the movement assessment, then give that a try, and I'll count it as one of your workouts (although you could probably do a full workout after the assessment!). Reply with some video or a description of what you got done! Go get it!

3 longer strength / flexibility sessions done for the week. 4 shorter sessions (stretching / flexibility focus) as well.

Zwift Rides
Hey team, As I’m doing my ride this morning, I thought it’d be nice to open up my meetups to the Strength2Go community and not just my Barracuda Tri team. So, if you’re available Wednesdays at 7pm EST and Saturdays at 7:30am EST, follow me on Zwift - J. Boyer(Barracuda Tri) and I’ll invite you to join me. Wednesday is usually a 45-60 min interval ride and Saturday is a 1.5-2 hour endurance ride. Don’t worry about speed, I keep everyone together. We chat on Discord while we ride. Hope to see you there!

Whelp, I might have to break down and buy a smart trainer! Have never owned one (believe it or not).

Preferred strength time:
This is going to be the topic of the week. Let me know what you usually do!

It's a mix. I'll do strength workouts on days after a ride, these "might" be a little shorter. But there are days where I'll do the longer strength sessions purposely on days off from aerobic work.
