- Notes: I absolutely loved this workout. It's one of those that kicks your ass but for whatever reason you have a blast and enjoy every minute of it. Highly functional and had every muscle in my body burning. Gonna save this one - note that the 300 would usually be a 400.
- Nutrition: Very good, capped off dinner with a little ice cream.
- Body: Pushing muscles are still destroyed. Very surprised that I wasn't sore from the DLs yesterday, probably because I ate a ton.
- General: This was a pretty tough cycle, feel like I need that rest day tomorrow but still feel solid.
Baker, how do you tread? Egg beater?
ReplyDeleteI can't tread with my hands out of my water, and it's a problem. Anything you can suggest working on?
Shane, when I do the leg treads I use flutter kicks. Keep them long and slow, you need a pair of fins to make it work, I just use small pair that they have at the local pool.
ReplyDeleteEgg beater if you are barefoot, but anytime you add any weight or use just legs you really need fins. You will find they definitely help your flutter kick numbers and vice versa.
Oh, didn't know you were wearing fins. I can tread easily in fins without hands, just need to start adding weight I guess.
ReplyDeleteTry holding weight overhead...sucks.
