Results
Got there late again, so I missed at least one round of the workout, but I'm ok with that :) I don't think we did each exercise each round and I know that wasn't the order they were in, but I can't remember that level of detail during the workout.
Pretty much everything sucked. My legs absolutely hated every bit of this workout, but I think that might have been the idea. And it didn't take long for me to turn this into a light bell day.
Aside from it sucking in a good way, a lot of these exercises (especially back-to-back like this) are triggers for that lower back pain I have, so that was flaring up again. Oh well...
The ropes weren't anchored to anything tonight, just sitting in a pile on the floor. The idea is to grab 2 ends and get some waves going while standing next to the pile. Tough to explain, but that was some brutal shit - couldn't catch my breath between rounds. I'm sure we'll be seeing that one again....
I love to hate heavy leg days too! What's with the back pain? Have you gotten this looked at? You should.
ReplyDeleteI hate that burning/tired feeling in my quads more than any other muscles in my body. And squats just kill my lungs...leg days suck :)
ReplyDeleteIt's that lower left back pain that creeps in every once a while and usually during the same sorts of exercises, like single-leg dead lifts. I'm sure there's probably something wrong, but my lazy ass doesn't feel like going through the process of seeing my pcp..then making an appt with a specialist..then makin an appt to get an x-ray etc. BUT I've been tossing around the idea of seeing my pcp for the hyperhidrosis (hoping to get botox shots eventually), so when I do that, I'll bring up the back pain too.
