thursday 14th may

Weights session:

Upped bar to 40kgs

did 2 sets with this weight, 8 mins recovery and 50 single leg squats, 50 lunges, 50 calf raises.
I then did a 3rd set after 8 mins recovery but at 30 kg, which felt really easy after doing the 40kg sets, i was able to go down further with my squats which are around 90 degrees and had better lunges with regards to going down further and longer stride.

Then a 12 min cycle to warm down. I felt if i had done another set of 40 kg i would be knackered for tomorrow so to fiinish off with 30 kg was nice and i felt strong

sunday 10 may

morning weights session

30 kg bar

single leg squats, single leg calf raises and lunges - 50 0f each x 3 sets, 8 mins rest between sets but no more than a minute rest between each exercise. It wasn't too bad actually, i obviously felt tired after set 3, but i reckon i could have put more weight on, i just didn't want to overdo it and overload my core muscles and injure myself. I think that for the moment 30 kg for single leg exercises is good, and i will build on it soon.
