You helped me see the wood for the tress thank you.
Each session that I achieve the 3-4 reps all the way through I'll decrease the resistance on PU rev and increase weights on Pull down for the next session.
Well last night after legs and back my knees hurt again (groan) when I get to 90 degress to sit in a chair and there seems to be puffy fluid around the knee area (indicative of overwork) so as much as it pains me to say I think I need to rest my lower body.
I'm not quitting and if I'm honest I don't want to rest as I'm really loving these workouts but knees like backs are pretty important parts of the body so I think I need to give them the rest they deserve - at the end of the day I've been working them really hard for 6 weeks solid (only 3 off days and 2 of those doing other weighted carrying stuff so no rest for the knees either) which is 6 solid weeks more than I've done anything in my life so not really surprising is it
.So I think I will extend this phase by a week and basically this week concentrate on upper body stuff only.....
Kenpo today so I think I'll do upperbody only and just plant my feet careful with any twisting (it may feel a bit odd but at least I can still burn a few calories?)
Sun - X Stretch - I'll do
Mon - Chest, Shoulders & triceps + ARX - do without jumping in the warm up and pull downs sat down so not on knees and no PU rev to rest knees
Tue - Plyo - skip (even though I love plyo) but maybe do Tai Cheng
Wed - Backs and Bi's + ARX - do without jumping in the warm up and pull downs sat down so not on knees and no PU rev to rest knees
Thurs - Yoga X - skip but maybe do Tai Cheng
Fri - see how I feel for legs and back again? and if completely pain free then do it with no weights see how I am?
Does that seem like a sensible plan???
