Hit the gym running last night.
40 min 1 mile on the stairmaster elliptical
40 min walking/jog on the treadmill 1.1 miles
squats/chest press/deadlift. I pushed it to 80lb for chest press. did 10! I am a tad sore but not bad. started at 55 and did many reps at each 5lb incrememnt..decided to try 80. wasn't bad. felt it more in the elbow than not having the strength.
the squats I only did 30 reps. my knee is sore but not too bad-didn't want to push my luck. so far not too bad.
Deadlift 65-70-75 and I also stretched my back/buttocks before and after these ones and I didn't get as much pain in the backside. I think I was not stretching enough after the cardio so now I use that stretching machine more often. that was my biggest mistake-not stretching.
