My legs are still so freaking sore today. Worse than yesterday. I was driving across town yesterday, and every time I had to lift up my leg to press it down on the clutch pedal I whimpered a little in agony.

On Saturday, my daughter's team celebrated the end of their Fall soccer season by having a game against the parents. It was a blast. They are in 5th grade, so we still have the ability to cream them, but we kept the score even for the whole game and ended with a tie score. We played on a full sized field for about 45 minutes. Running up and down the field the whole time. I did well at the time. But I'm hurting today.

Glatt - thats great! I know you all had a really good time. When I was coaching, I always told parents at the beginning of the season that practices were interactive . . . I remember one time a Dad was playing at the end in dress shoes and slacks. He wiped out in a puddle - He was filthy. We all looked at him and thought he was gonna be pissed! Instead he came up laughing his ass off. Said he hadn't had that much fun in years. Since that day he showed up every week ready to play. Turned out to be a great guy - the kids loved his attitude too.

I was planning to go to my sister's for a visit today, but she got a call from the school nurse saying her child was VERY ill; had very low blood O2, a 103 temp, and rattling chest sounds (obviously has pneumonia!). So she had to frantically wake the twins from their nap and race to school to get the bad-mother attitude from the nurse and then rush off to the doctor.
The child is fine. Slight temp <100, clear lungs, minor upper resp infection. No meds or loss of school required.... school nurse might be hospitalized though.

So I went to the gym and cardio'd the crap out of myself;
60 mins treadmill intervals at 15 degrees - 4mins 3.9mph / 6mins 4.2mph
30 mins treadmill at 8 degrees - 4.0mph
20 min strairbastard intervals - 2min 75spm / 2min 85spm

30 squats

lumberjim · 02-22-2010, 08:22 PM

monster · 02-22-2010, 08:47 PM

lumberjim · 03-11-2010, 12:52 PM

monster · 03-11-2010, 01:28 PM

1/2 hour rowing, 1/2 hour on the eliptical, 1/2 hour badminton and 1/2 hour in the weights room. I reckon my everything will be sore tomorrow

lumberjim · 03-11-2010, 02:18 PM

good job monnie. If you ever visit, bring your sweats!

Clodfobble · 03-13-2010, 11:24 PM

Turns out, bouncing on a trampoline will give you a damn good workout!

lumberjim · 03-19-2010, 10:54 PM

So, I worked out with a trainer a couple weeks ago..... This guy, Jason. Jinx did a few sessions with him, and he seems to know his shit. It seems that I have huge Quads and tiny hamstrings. Also, no ass at all. So, I wanted to develop my glutes and Hammys.

Jason pointed out something interesting:

If you visualize your muscle that you want to develop as a cylinder.....(most muscles are cylindrical with tapered ends....) ...and when you do whatever exercise you do, you tear down tissue, and it grows back thicker to compensate for its previous failing..... if this muscle is 4 inches long, and 2 inches in diameter.....and you improve it's girth to 2.5 inches.....it's still only 4 inches long.....

the big thing is to STRETCH that muscle before and after you work it..... so now, you stretch a 4 inch muscle out to 4.5 inches....and increase it fro 2 to 2.5 in diam..... and then you stretch it to 4.75, and then 5 inches long....but still increase it's girth and you exercise..... and you get that much stronger.

I've gone from using 70 lbs on my leg curls to 90 lbs in just 2 weeks.....by doing specific hamstring stretches before I do strength stuff.

pretty cool.
