Achy Breaky Legs

My legs were so wrecked last night already and ache today too. Especially in my hips. Made sure to get in the core stability work during lunch.

Midline

McGill Big 3

  • 10-8-6 Curl-ups
  • 10-8-6 Side Planks
  • 10-8-6 Bird Dogs

The bird dogs were the hardest they’ve ever been because I was shaking trying to hold up my leg! Out in the garage at 4pm.

Warm-up

  • Monster Walks
  • Steamboats

Strength

4 Sets

  • 10/10 Step Downs (15″, 35#)
  • 10/10 Single Leg Calf Raises

The step downs were rough with the increased weight and how my legs felt.

Conditioning

5 Rounds

  • 3:00 AMRAP
    • 500m Row
    • MAX Push-ups
  • 2:00 Rest

I did the 500s in 1:48.1-1:48.2 every round, which felt good considering I haven’t rowed since February 8th, 2-3 days before my back tweak. I did sets of five push-ups and finished with nine to get 39 in the first round. I didn’t expect to get that many when I came up with this workout. I didn’t expect it to continue, but then I did the exact same thing three more times, before finally hitting 40 to finish. So 196 total push-ups! I really liked that workout. 😀

After cooling down I did my anded PT exercises.
