Essential Random Gym Thoughts Revisited...

[phcitywarrior]

6:41 PST. Wednesday’s are now my active recovery days. Instead of lifting I try to bump up my daily steps from 10K to 15-17K.

Go to gym and walk on the treadmill for 40-45min on a slight incline.

No more, no less. It’s more about keeping up my early AM gym routine/schedule than gains per se. Still get a decent sweat.

Walking is very underrated. We move.

Side Note: Left hammy feels good, still a tad sore but I can walk fine. More ice and rest this week before I see what the PT saying.

Well said by him.

So my PT’s initial assessment was I have a slight sprain in my hammy but nothing crazy. More like a grade 1.

Suggested I stop with any hammy focused lifts but still keep working the surrounding muscles.

So leg day today I did lighter squats that didn’t aggravate things.

225 4x10

Then walking lunges with 35lb weights a few laps. Tossed in some calve raises and hip adduction/abduction work on the machines and I had a very productive day.

Take some load off but don’t take days off (too many days that is).

Definitely no soccer tomorrow though

We move sha

Powerlifting America Nats has been a snoozer. Pretty much everyone expected to win has been winning quite comfortably

We will have lots of new faces at worlds I am curious how they will do because the judging standard of nats has been abysmal quite franly

Yeah it really was uneventful but it was nice to see some new lifters get a chance to showcase themselves.

It's shocking how quickly strength returns. I've had maybe 10 workouts in the past 7 months and I'm back to like 80% of last year's weight
