Monday 1/10: off day. My legs are pretty sore from lifting and playing racquetball on Friday, and then going for a tough run on Saturday. So, I decided to listen to my body and give it an extra day of rest. Will pick up the weight training manana.
Tuesday 1/11: did 3 sets of 8 circuit style of: sitting dumbbar curls at 55 lbs; tricep pull-downs at 100 lbs; back pull-downs at 100lbs. Then did 2 sets of 8 circuit style of: "hunched" dumbbell curls at 25 lbs; lawnmowers (back) at 40 lbs; and one set of dips.
Wednesday 1/12: Did 3 sets of 20 of deep squats at 95 lbs. Did 3 sets of 20 of standing elevated calf raises at 115 lbs. Did 3 sets of 20 of leg extensions at 40 lbs. Did 3 sets of 20 of hamstring curls at 40 lbs. Did 3 sets of 20 of seated calf raises at 25 lbs.
Thursday 1/13: Off day. Legs fairly sore from yesterday, especially inner hamstrings.
Friday 1/14: did 2 sets of 8 and 1 set of 6 of bench press at 125 lbs. Did 3 sets of 8 of sitting military press with 25 lb dumbbells. Did 3 sets of 8 of standing cable pulls simulating chest flys at 100 lbs. Did 3 sets of 8 of shoulder raises from waist to eye level, straight in front w/ 20 lb dumbbells, and 3 sets of 8 of shoulder raises from waist to eye level, to the side w/ 15 lb dumbbells. Did 5 sets of 20 of sit-ups at steep incline. Played 60 mins. of racquetball over the noon hour.
Saturday 1/15: Ran for 1:45, hitting several hills, and two major hills. Tried Melon HEED today for the first time. As many have noted, the flavor with Hammer products is not overwhelming, which is a nice change from Gatorade-type drinks that are overly-sweet. I felt more continued energy than just using water. I also used Recoverite for the first time today. I will report on how my legs feel tomorrow and whether it actually helped with recovery.
Update: I took Recoverite for the first time Saturday after my run. My legs on Sunday were a little fatigued, but not sore; and, on Monday, they felt like normal. I will report on future uses, but as of today, I certainly feel as though Recoverite helped speed my recovery.
