Notes
Leg day today. After a few weeks of consistent stretching I was finally able to get a really good range of motion in my squat. Honestly, if there is something our program is missing, it is a consistent stretching routine AFTER practice. My first time I went to the chiropractor I realized how tight I really was the entire time. Hamstrings, calves, and glutes mainly for me but everyone is different, I think finding out stretches that work for yourself will be extremely beneficial, in addition to rolling. Do I have research? Not really? But a single source of anecdotal evidence! Of course.
I did squats, seated calf raises, a few dead lifts (it hurt my back so I stopped), leg press, and leg curls. My legs were SHAKIN but I felt some really good mind muscle connection (thanks to running!) and I was able to break an effective sweat. Very happy with the weight I gained as well. Overall, great lift. Need to start focusing on increasing my calorie count.
