So, I finally hit the mother of all leg workouts (well, so far!) last Friday. I mean, holy shit. The lifts included front squats - always torture, pin deadlifts (meaning, short range dead lifts that start at knee height), Bulgarian split squats - another perennial form of torture, and some ab/core work. Because the pin deadlifts are such short range, you can really crank up the weight, so I was lifting my conventional DL 1 rep max, plus, for reps. Between that, the front squats, and the warmup sets for both, I lifted a LOT of weight, and I was really leg sore on Saturday. Saturday's workout, in turn, was upper body and plenty tough in and of itself. I think I'm starting to get in tune with this program!
Sunday I went for a run with the dojo running club. Yeah, I'm not supposed to be running, but I am making this compromised of my own volition to keep my sanity. My plan is to keep the club runs under five miles (and I did) and to keep the pace tame (which it was by my standards, although not as tame as I think Cressey would like). But, there you have it.
Today I started the second week, which is an "easier" week than last week, meaning we do one less set of a couple of exercises. Next week is a very hard week, and looks brutal. Yay.
