M5:D4 (D412) Intensity intensified
 | ||
 I was sitting in the car on the way to hockey practice talking to Matty about how he was feeling. He said that the new repetition ranges were like "intensity training that has been intensified." I thought it was an interesting take. As you would know if you read yesterday's post you will know that I neither of us found our workout to be extremely taxing due to the fact that we were asked to drop down to 70% of our 1RM. The last time we started a H.I.T. cycle we worked at 80% of our 1RM to begin with. Well, today we both had DOMs in our legs. I could also feel it in my lower back. The only explanation is the repetition ranges are working already after just one workout. Neither of us was lifting weights that were particularly difficult to us yesterday and yet we got hit pretty good with DOMs just one day after the fact. It felt great. We both discussed how excited we are to be back in the gym tomorrow. It is just an awesome feeling! Today I realized just how thankful I am that I get to workout with my son. It is so much fun to mentor him through this process. I am attempting to give him the lessons he will need to enable him to create his own workouts. He has come a long way. He came from not giving his full effort to where he is completely pounding his body at every workout. He is seeing the benefits through his hockey playing. It is just simply exciting to see how this is all working for us. I am very proud of his efforts.
