Shane’s Journal

Appreciate it Trent. Strangely, my calves are what are sore the most today. They also seemed like the easiest thing I did yesterday. LoL.

10 minute liss cool down,

My calves are freaking sore. I honestly can’t believe those standing calf raises with a total added weight of 70 pounds would make my calves sore.

That’ll pass quickly. Calves get used to loading really fast.

Nice work on the elliptical Shane. Yeah, it’s funny how differences in training can leave you sore. I am living proof of that right now too. :joy:

Appreciate it Trent, DCA. My calves, wow. I woke up and hopped out of bed this morning to some very tinder calves. :joy: I felt like I was tip toeing around with how sore they were.

Still looks like a ton of work to me! Nice job.

Appreciate it. If my calves weren’t feeling like they were about to explode I would have toughed it out and hit the metcon. I am already going to be limping around a little this Easter weekend, I didn’t want to be hobbling. LoL

Solid work Shane. Sorry to hear about the hip pain on squats. Still a lot of work. I can’t think of a lot of things that would suck worse than 1 mile farmer’s walk. :face_vomiting: Great work on that and the KB FS. Hope you and yours have a great Easter!

Thank you Trent. The lap without the KBs made it easier but it definitely was tough to do.

Happy Easter to you and your family as well. :blush:

That’s it. Happy Easter. My son and his cousin already hunted eggs. I am going to eating eggs all week this week and I will probably still end up throwing some out.

Great job on the Peloton ride. Yeah, I crushed a lot of the kids’ candy myself. :blush: Hope you and your family had a great Easter!

I went ahead a signed up for my new gym yesterday. They had a sweet “one day deal”. I am sure it wasn’t one day only, but it was the best offer I had heard.

No sign up fee, first month free, and $24.99 a month.

I was planning on paying $29.99 a month and no sign up fee so it was actually a “deal”. 10 bucks cheaper a month than I am paying now for Golds.

Worked out there today. It was busy but they have enough machines that I can find something free to fit my workout in.

Nice job today Shane. Hell of an upper body session. Glad to hear you signed up for the gym. That is less than half what I’m (my company is) paying at O2 Fitness… :man_facepalming:t3:

Appreciate it Trent. It was a heck of a deal. Typically gyms around here range from 20 to 40 bucks a month, depending on options. Of course there are outliers. Lifetime Fitness is super high end, and Planet is super low end.

Holy crap man, that was a lot of work! :open_mouth: My gym has sleds and different size tires out on the “field.” I have been eyeing them but am unsure if doing the sleds will hurt my feet. Way to get all of that done Shane! Jealous of the C2 Rower too. Ha ha… :sweat_smile:

Thank you Trent. I think you could probably drag a sled, but pushing one might hurt your toe. Flipping tires isn’t that bad, you just have to make sure you set up right so you don’t tweak a knee. Getting old is fun. :laughing:
