    Default What is your BEST stepmill performance ever?

    Figured this would be a fun thread lol........

    I will go first since i brought it up.......it was actually today on low carbs, zero energy and pure adrenaline lol.......the stepmill i use has level 1-20

    Actually intensity vs. endurance i have TWO bests.......and yes i realize they suck lol

    Endurance

    Today i did 38:19min (EVERYTHING i do is either 19 or a multiple of it lol) level 14 first 9min then intervals of level 11 and 8 the remainder....

    Intensity

    I have done level 14 for 19:19 and wanted to die lol.......


    Let me follow this up by saying endurance is by far my WORST genetic attribute. I was winning 7 of the 8 matches i lost my sr. yr wrestling going into 3rd period. My wind BLOWS to say the least......

    now lets hear some impressive numbers!

    Stepmill the same as a stair climber ? Damn American/English divide.

    I never do it because it hurts my knees. But, treadmill, I've done 20 minutes of 3.6mph at 8.0 incline. Not shocking, but my calves wanted to explode.

    My two matches I lost Sr. year (145 weight class) were both in the third round. Since endurance was my weakness too, I knew If I didn't finish them by the end of the second, I'd be in big trouble! lol

    My best was 15 or 16 for almost 30 mins if I recall correctly. I was dripping with sweat afterwards and could barely breath lol

    Well, I'm down to 100g carbs a day and 4 weeks out.

    The fact that I make it through 60 minutes set on Level 6-8 on that bitch every AM at 5:30 on an empty stomach makes every day my NEW best performance ever!

    I never went all out on a step mill, but I did a stair climb once in the city, it was 80 floors in something like 21 or 22 minutes. I can't think of my exact time off the top of my head. 80 floors on actual stairs is a completely different world from the step mill

    I've done HIIT on the stepmill for my shows this past summer...4-8 for 5min warmup, followed by 10 then 20 for 10 intervals, and 4-5 for 15min. on the cool down...totally sucked....but car pushes are worse

This is bodybuilding, not a triathlon or some shit.
    I'm with you on this one. I do low intensity for long periods of time.

    My peak time for pre-contest 3 hours per day broken into 2-3 sessions with 75% of it on the Stairmill (on Keto too). I'll never get so fat in the offseason that I have to kill myself like that!!!!

    this is ideal because you will become mesmerized. This is ineffective however if Woody decide to show up because you really can not keep out of the front parlor.
