DOMS sucks!
That’s right, I said it. I had myself a little fun squatting today before coming to work. Now my hamstrings are hollerin at me. I’m thinking that it was a good thing I left out the lunges at this point. I’d probably be crying right now. Better not say nothing about crying. My last blog got me a suggested trip to get my estrogen levels checked. I only had about 30-40 minutes to knock it out before leaving for work, but here it goes:
5 minute elliptical for warmup
Squats 135 x 10, 135 x 10, 185 x 7, 185 x 7, 185 x 7. (Barbell)
Hack squats (135 x 7)x3 (Barbell)
Stiff leg deadlift 135 x 10 x 3 (Barbell)
Calf raise 185 x 20 x 3 (Barbell)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know I’m suppose to into all this powerlifting jazz, but I got arthritis in my hips so it is what it is. I’m trying to take it slow with the squats. I don’t get to do them as much anymore depending on how things feel. But I can easily take myself out of the squat business by trying to jump up in weight to fast. Plus, I have to practice going as deep as possible and getting my hips below 90 so I can do unequipped powerlifting. I’m trying to go slow and easy man. I get to excited about stuff and let things get out of control. I guess I also got hurt less 4,5,6 years ago cause I usually had a workout partner.
I posted my weight, BF%, and waist measurement. I am going to try and get some pictures done this week on my days off. I am also going to start video taping my exercises and putting them on the bodyspace page so people can give me feedback. Unfortunately for me that’s about as close as I can get to having a workout partner since I live in the boonies and folks I work with aren’t into fitness. Did I mention my legs hurt?
