I didn't know you were sick. Are you feeling better? Hope Red gets home safely



I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...

The sinus/head cold that has been going around finally caught up with me. I am feeling better, but I'm also living on day time sinus meds. I hope so too, just got to sit tight uptill I get a call.

Hey Gary Things are looking up.

For a change got to the gym before the rush hour crowd and managed to get a decent leg workout in even though I had to swicth up my usual order of exercises.

Legs

Warmup-15 minutes
Treadmill- 5% incline
5 minutes at speeds 2.5, 3, 3.5

Single Leg Hamstring presses
20 x 12
30 x 10
35 x 8

Nebula 35 degree leg press
Standard foot placement / legs wide and toes pointed out at 45 degree angle / Feet together (Note: 3 placements done as a super set)
90 x 12 / 12 / 12
140 x 10 / 10 / 10
190 x 8 / 8 / 8

Abductors
90 x 12
115 x 8, 8

Adductors
115 x 12 12
125 x 10

Hammer strength single leg extensions
15 x 8, 10
20 x 8

Walk 1/2 mile (calf machine was occupied so walk out the tight quads)

Standing calf raises
120 x 12
160 x 12
180 x 12

15 minbutes Stretching in sauna.

My knee was a little achy when driving to the gym, but amazingly it didn't bother me one bit during the workout. Quads were extremely tight after the leg extensions so the walk while waiting for the calf machine really helped. I was really happy with this workout, especialy since the knee is holding up.

Nice wo Dev

I would think you'd want to lighten up on the "good girls" if your man is coming home

He most likely won't arrive at my place till thursday at the earliest, more likely friday afternoon. Which is one reason I did them today I will have a couple days to recover. The other reason being thursday I train with PT and we did legs last week so it upper body this week. Regardless, he can always massage the sore parts and work out all the aches

Thanks. I'm really happy it holding up. I think switching to the single leg exercises has helped strength it.

I don't know, there is something about a girl that can give you a concussion with her thighs...

Did I even mention I love when you stretch in the sauna

As for stretching after each working set....dont do to much stretching it actually decreases your strength. Try and keep it light a minimal.
