36th training session in the gym. Rate of perceived effort a 7, maybe even an 8. What bumped up the intensity was doing single leg step ups with a weighted barbell. The type of barbell is a safety barbell. It has padding, and wraps around your shoulders. So there's a little more movement to it, and you hold it with your hands. The movement that I did with my legs, was one leg at a time stepping up onto the box and then the opposite leg you're driving your knee up to parallel, to where your knee would be at least waist height. Doing that motion really enforces the idea that your body has to move as a unit, and stay stable in your core. I did 3 cycles through on it and on the 3rd set I could tell I was fatiguing a little bit, but I was keeping my form really well. That's why you have a trainer to spot and to see. Tonight as I'm recording this, I can tell I pushed as far as I'd want to go, especially with how I've been progressing back into movements. Another nice thing about today's workout, I actually did jumping. Just double-legged bunny hops over hurdles. Emphasis was being on explosive. Then did some light pulls from the rack. Really feels like a precursor to a good month for March. It's a lot like I was doing in December. Really want to make sure as I ramp this up I match it with the right recovery. Feeling good right now. Definitely going to sleep well tonight. Then check back in on Monday.
