Day thirty nine: Wednesday 15 March 2006

Rest day.

Day forty: Thursday 16 March 2006

Gym.  Today's visit to the gym was almost a carbon copy of the previous session.  All exercises were worked in the same order as Monday at the same weight loads.  The only minor problem to report is a slight tweak in my right sided outer thigh muscle area, so I completed only one set of 20 reps instead of the usual two.  On the plus side, I am pleased to report that I was able to do three sets of 10 leg curls at 40kg.

So what exercise do I find the least and most painful?  Leg curls always hurt, all others do but only when the weight load is increased each time.  It normally takes two or three subsequent sessions for the legs to adjust.  Of course, I must not forget calf raises.  Leg presses generaly hurt the least.

I feel ready to further increase leg press weight load, possibly raising the load to 200kg.  Inner thigh squeezes feel comfortable at 125lbs, so I am looking to increase these to either 130 or 135lbs next time I am in the gym and finally, the total hip kickbacks feel very easy at 36.2kg, so next time I will be kicking back in the region of 42kg per leg. 

In regards to my plans for the next few days, I currently have a sore throat and am expecting this to turn into a full blown cold.  With experience, I have learnt that the higher intensity I exercise, the longer the cold lingers in my system, so I have plans to have a training session on my bike tomorrow, but will be riding at approximately an average of 70% of my maximum heart rate.
