saturdays

Big session today, for some reason. Also did my 6-month test. I have no idea how it went, and shall send the results to Mr Physio tonight. Hopefully will have a reply early next week. It was an easy test: 3x 1-leg jumps per leg. I measured the distance and based on the difference between left/right leg, Mr Physio will tell me how I'm progressing. Without knowing what I can expect I must say I'm not too happy. Will Google a bit and see if I can find any indication of what it should be like. Anyway, today:

10 mins cycling
Interval cycling (lvl 20)
Squats; w/o bar +20+25+25+30 kg (10 reps)
Bulgarian (split) squat: 3x 10
Lateral lunge: 3x 10/leg
Tried rotational lunge - no no.
Romanian deadlifts: 25+25+30 kg (10 reps)
Calf raises: 4x 10
Bending: x2
Leg press: 3x 75 kg (10 reps)
Leg curl: 3x 44 kg (10 reps)
INCREASE! Leg extension: 3x 26 kg (10 reps)

Feeling a lot more confident with leg extension now, despite the slow start.Only wish I could do Rotational lunges as well...but I suppose all in good time. Lateral are still a little painful and today's session had me experience some good pain on the side again. Will have to mention that to CJ. It worries me a little to be honest.

Also gave myself my 6-month treat today: all you can eat in 80 mins cake buffet! As I'm trying to be healthy generally, I thought this could be a good treat. Turns out (as I always realise in these situations) that I don't like cake all that much. Pastry is ok and brownie/chocolate cake is always a hit. Other than that -meh. So now I'm considering, for my hobby, to take up serious training. I'm talking the whole thing - protein shakes/bars, weight lifting etc. It would be good for the knee. But as my legs are getting bigger and bigger and bigger with every session (they are rock hard!) I'm also feeling my femininity decrease just as much. Hm.
