Killed it in the gym this morning working my calves, glutes, hamstrings and quads. Calves were totally done after 8 sets. I also hit a glute isolator machine, which is a funny name considering that it also works the hamstrings, and did 4 sets of 40-50 reps. For my quads, I hit the leg extensions (bilateral this time vs. alternating) and then the leg press to top off.
When performing the above exercise, I always feel like I want to do more weight. Progress resistance training has been my mode for so long, that it seems engrained in me. However, despite the urge to do so, I always manage to talk myself out of it since it's not inline with my cycling focus. I know strength wise, it'll help but I don't want the size that may come with it. Strange but true.
Today, I plan on getting out on the bike and I just read how Gary wants to do repeats on NPC. I guess I'll join him and see what that's about. Let's hope my calves and quads don't blow up too badly.
