Heat
Warm up + BB complex, burgener warm up
(1) 5 x 5 deadlift
89#, 111#, 111#, 131#, 131#
1 x 20 back extensions
(2) Swim - easy freestyle hypoxic ladder, 100m @ each
3-5-7
(3) Mob - VMO massage, calf stretch, hip/lunge stretch, straight leg hammie stretch
- Notes: Lots of encouraging signs today. Hip flexor is feeling almost recovered from the massage, the deadlifts didn't bug me at all, and I swam for the first time in a long time completely painfree, albeit very gingerly. Easy day just to get moving and get some blood flowing to my legs to help recovery.
- Nutrition: Good. Purposely didn't eat carbs after that long bike yesterday and instead ate a lot of fat and protein to see how it would change/affect recovery. I did notice that this morning I was pretty sluggish. I don't know enough to about glycogen store levels to know where I stood after the ride but my guess is I was lower than usual. I enjoy experimenting with things like this. Also, I am about to finish my bag of whey mix, and instead of getting more I am going to switch to whole milk and some sort of protein and/or carb and try to compare results. I have had good noticeable results and improved recovery times using whey after workouts, but I don't like depending on it and making it habit as I have recently. Plus I might as well give something else a try just for comparison's sake. Might some save some money too.
- Body: Feeling pretty good. Upper body is pretty sore and tired, hip flexor has some residual soreness but is feeling much better. Gonna take tomorrow off to get some recovery. Might be getting another massage soon too. Continuing stim.
