Tabata Intervals : Day 25 (Brothers Workout)

March 22nd, 2010

I stayed at my brothers house last night and did my first workout there. My legs were killing me from the last 2 days of football running and all that bike riding. Adding todays workout and my legs are so heavy and clumsy at the moment. I only had 4 hours sleep and it’s catching up with me now.
I did my standard Legs workout of Calf Raises and Squats with a barbell across my shoulders which in total weighted 25kg in total. I’m gonna start small and add 5kg each time so that I don’t go overboard at the start and hurt myself. I did 5 seconds up and 5 seconds down which definitely added to the intensity of the workout. I plan to continue this 5 up, 5 down set of reps. It’s shorter and more high intensity than the Tabatas and I’ll still do the running on a Sunday.

Yesterday I deciede on a whim to go Raw for a couple of days and felt pretty decent when I did my workout this morning but I’m gonna give it up for now. I have too much going on in my life already. Maybe in April/May. Difficulty 5/10. I’m staying at my brothers from now on so will hopefully be able to use the weights every day in the morning and progressively add weight to the barbell. It’s also 16 days until I get my own weights too!
