resistance

Finally, a meaningful gym session.  This next week will be good for the gym because it will stay open late til May 20.  Students will be gone.  I think this is what I've been missing and need right now.  Instead of doing just conditioning on the rower / stairmaster, then a token set of weights, good to choose a few lower body exercises and multiple sets and then everything else at least twice.  

Tonight I focused on dead lifts and hip flexors.  I used light weight for the dead lifts, just 130 lbs, and did them in a really controlled manner 10x, down slow without letting the barbell touch the ground, almost like a 'good morning'.   Then 4 sets of 20x on the hip flexor machine with the stack of 150.   This is the machine I used to stack weight on for glutes.  I'm going to try and get those dumbells again because the stack of 150lbs isn't really enough for a glute workout, although it's ok for hip flexors.  

I need to do this type of workout at least 3x a week.  Will be back on the track Sunday.
