Hitting the gym

Today I went to Klahanie Fitness, a place I have not been to in five months. I decided to do something different this time as far as my workouts go. I was always a sprinter and even though I am out of shape, I still have more speed than most folks my age, I just die after 200 meters. Given this, I want to play to my strenghts, which is the ability to sprint. The thing is, my legs are weak. So, in order to correct my deficiencies and get into shape I decided to shock my body into hyper growth.

I took a creatine tablet and a thermogenic metabolic boost to get going. When I got to the gym I did the following

a) Warm up 5 mins at 5.0mph pace on the treadmill (was not winded, btw)
b) Smith Machine Squats - 3x15 @ 145lbs. The purpose was not strength but reps
c) Leg curls 3x20 @ 40, 50 60 lbs. This hurt when I got to the 15th rep, but I immediately felt like my legs doubled in weight
d) Calf raises - 3x25 @ 50 lbs. I wanted to get more reps in than weight
e) Incline sit ups a set of 20, then 10, and 10
f) High paced jog - I did a 3 minute 5mph warm up, then cranked it up to 8mph (7:30 mile pace) for 2 minutes, walked for 3 minutes, cranked to 8mph for 1 minute, walked another 4 minutes and cranked to 8mph for another minute.

Limped home.

The good news about this is that I am building the strength to run at a fast pace and conditioning my body to run at a nice clip. Each week, I want to progressively add a minute until I can do a mile at 7:30 pace.

Tomorrow I am going to be sore, but I am thinking about doing chest, triceps and lats and swimming for cardio at the Y.

I took some aminos before I went to bed to help rebuild the torn down muscles.

Despite the pain I will be facing, I want to get back in that gym.

Soh- man. (Sore man)
