I’m just back from my usual weights circuit and somewhat concerned/confused.
I got up and headed for the gym at half 3 this morning, did the usual circuit and worked pretty hard. I think all rest periods were the same and the weight wasn’t significantly different. The session felt easier than the ones that I was doing last swing. My HRM also told me it was easier than the ones last swing.
Whether it was the ‘morning-ness’ of the workout, or the not having any smokes this swing I don’t know. I suspect it’s more about my cardiac function improving cause I’m not filling my lungs with tar.
The weights, particularly through push press, didn’t really feel as strenuous. In saying that, I think my PP technique needs a little tightening up and I’m being wary with the squats cause of previous VL soreness.
I don’t actually feel too bad for getting up at crazy-o’clock.
