hi-ho, hi-ho, it's to the gym I go
So because today was a pretty easy day, and tomorrow is going to basically be the same if not easier, I figured tonight was a good night for weight training. I'm still going to have to figure out how to regularly and routinely work this in but it's not as important as the running, obviously. Anyway, here's the damage for this evening:
squats:
warm-up: 1x10x95
4x8x145
lunges- with 30lb dumbbells
2x15xBW+60
calf raises (on hack-squat machine):
2x12x180
abs- exercise ball crunches
2x12xBW+25 (1st set straight, 2nd set side-to-side)
I could have done more but I haven't lifted in something like 2 weeks and I could feel my muscles getting sore even before I left the gym- a good kind of sore though. Obviously I will build on this but the goal is to get stronger so I can get faster and more efficient with my running, not so I can set squat or deadlift PRs. To that end, tonight was good. Had a chocolate milk back here and watched some DWTS (YEA JASON TAYLOR!). Sleep and a much easier day to follow. Goodnight all
