It's been since Thursday when I last got up early to go to the gym, and as expected, I couldn't just get up without snoozing the alarm. I'm hoping to do better the rest of the week and even more so next week when I should be fully back on schedule.
I did my back this morning and got 5 different exercises in: reverse grip pull downs, alternating cable pull downs, reverse grip rows, standing angled close grip rows, and cable pull overs. I also did my lower back and my abs for my core training. The workout again focused on speed vs. intensity. I had to remind myself that getting the movement from point A to B as fast as possible (with resistance) was the goal and up until I can't do it with good form and/or where I can't breathe. Essentially, I'm trying to turn myself inside out while weight training just like I would if I was on a really fast pace ride (e.g. Como).
During lunch, I'm hoping to get a good ride in. My legs feel a lot better than yesterday albeit still not 100%. Had I been able to do the crit tomorrow with the other guys, I probably would just be taking the bike for a spin today. However, now I can turn up the intensity, so I hope to get a good ride in.
