Went to the gym today, and the HRM's caloric readout was strange at the end...
Warmup, w/45lb bar
* Overhead Squat
* Squat
* Good Morning
* Barbell Lunge
* Romanian Deadlift
* Bent-over Row
Workout
* Drop Squat, 3x20
* Underhand-grip Dumbell Row, 3x20x20lbs
* Reverse Hyperextension, 3x20
* Elbows-in Elevated Pushup, 2x20
* Side Bridge, 3x20 per side
* Side Lateral Raise & Rotation, 3x20x10lbs per side
30 minutes, 103 calories burned
2.5 mi treadmill run @ 7.5mph (8 min/mi), 20 minutes, 127 calories burned. This is where it gets strange. I should be burning about 100 calories per mile, and on my typical runs (including long runs), I burn about 125 calories per. Today according to the HRM I was burning about 60! So while I don't believe it, the numbera at the end is what I'm quoting.
Total calories burned: 227

Great workout! I am clueless about gadgets but I know that the read out is wrong. I also have the Garmin 50. I am still figuring it out. It seems to work really well.
I don't have the Garmin 50 yet, but I won't be using it once I actually get it. I'll be using the 305 with the foot pod once the 50 arrives. Today I was using my Reebok HRM with a Polar strap. I think the strap needs to be tightened.
That looks like a nice trip around the gym.
Looking good to me ;D ;D
I've been waffling over which Garmin to get for weeks. I'm leaning toward the 305, but haven't taken the plunge yet. So little time, so much crap to buy!
