I finally made it to be non-sedentary yesterday! This is a "scheduling challenge" week until next Tuesday. Boo. I tried cloning myself so I could have a good workout, but science skills were not good enough... so I settled for 15 minutes at the Z and some midnight cardio.
15 minutes at the Z
pushups - 8x2
dips from bench - 16x3
bent over row - 40x10, 50x10, 60x10
half pull-up from smith machine - 8x2
pulldown - 50x12, then had to leave before finishing exercise.
____(Next time, I will save things like pushups and dips for home when in a rush.)
midnight cardio
green building - 3x - 5:00, 6:14, watch said 11:34 for the 3rd one, but I think that's not right.
____(First try ever ... and new admiration for Shanker and Andre for less than 3:00 times.)
track - 2 miles: 2400m medium/slow and 800m fast
0.5 to 1 miles other running
My upper legs were pretty sore, until I tried ice and a hot shower and that worked like a charm!
I will aim for early morning gym times for the next few days...
You can try Nate's sprinting thing on the track as well (sprint 200m, walk back slowly, sprint 200m, etc.). I used to do that until I realized that it interfered with heavy squatting. It's quite hard on the legs.
ReplyDeleteUh oh, I just saw this! Maybe too late to respond. Oh well.
ReplyDeleteWhat I noticed is that sprinting after squats (even on the same day) feels amazing... sprints feel much faster than normal, though I can't do as many. Squats after sprints doesn't work so well - quite hard on the legs, as you said.
I will try this 200m intervals sometime soon...
