My legs are absolutely killing, and from really quite tragically low weight. Got up again yesterday early to hit the gym. Rowed (10 mins), squats (5xbar,5x40kg, 3sets x 5 reps x 60k), military press (warm up, increasing to 3 x 8 x 35k), leg curls (warm up, increasing to 3 x 8 x 35k), ab work, stretches, 5 mins more rowing while waiting for my wife to come out of the shower.
So yes, as I said, pretty damned low numbers to be this painful for. Returning to squats is always a reminder you've been out of the gym too long, they really punish you. Additionally, this was still on an empty stomach so not sure if the low energy meant I had to work harder. Could be interesting to test that out. On the flip side, no protein ready immediately for repair :( Got home, protein shake (EAS at the moment, will be changing shortly), greak yoghurt and honey. Had a beef stew for lunch (with bone stock, thanks Bova for introducing me to this). All was going well untill I spotted the leftover sweets from Halloween. Oh dear. Munched my way through a bunch of them.
Dinner was a pumpkin and steak risotto (more beef!).
Resting today while the legs get a chance to recover.
