As I mentioned in my post yesterday, before sitting around all evening and playing Batman: Arkham City I went to the gym. My goal was to be in and out of there in about an hour, which is no mean feat considering that I was starting a new leg day fitness program.
My previous program (that I have been using for about ten weeks or so) was designed to help me with running over great distance with as much speed as possible. This new program is about making me explosive again. To be able to turn on the jets when I need then at hockey.
So mixed in with a lot of squats and legs presses are plyo type exercises meant to wear me and my muscles out. From all the things I did yesterday though by far the most painful, both at the time and now, are (were) the hamstring exercises. I was in agony doing them and it hurts to sit and get up now. I think the thing I liked most were one leg alternating leg presses, tossing the weights up in the air with one leg and then catching them with the other.
The rest of the twelve different things I did were just as trying, but not as remarkable. It was totally the right thing to do as well. I didn't get as much time with my new game, but I felt amazing, and painful.
