 After yesterday's workout, my entire body is extremely sore. I believe that I have now managed to reach new heights in my workout because the DOMs is back to being incredibly intense. I have a theory about lifting that I am not sure is true or not, but from my own experience it sure seems like it is true. As our bodies adapt to the lifting they are begging us to push to a new level. Our progress is exponentially increased as we push to higher and higher limits. As I described in my workout log from yesterday, as I did my thigh extensions I got to 8 repetitions and my legs were totally on fire, but I pushed through and managed to squeeze out 4 more repetitions. Yes, it hurt and I felt like crying as a result, but I managed to hit a new height on that particular exercise. The effect is that today I am feeling alot of DOMs in my thighs. The act of pushing myself a little further has caused my body to respond in a new way. I now believe I am on to something big. High Intensity Training is something that I always knew was adaptable to the trainee, but at the same time, the trainee is going to max out his/her intensity limits and it is up to them to push the limit even higher. When successful at this (most are not due to pain tolerance levels) the trainee will see new bursts of growth.This concept that I've discovered excites me. I didn't realize it before yesterday's workout, but something inside of me said to push harder and harder. I was able to do things I had not thought possible just a few days before. At this point I am sincerely wondering if I will be recovered in time for my Thursday workout. However, that's the beauty of this system of training–I listen to my body and lift when it is ready to lift. Please note that tomorrow I am having to head down to San Diego for an all day project. I will not be able to publish my posts for the next few days as a result. I will be leaving after the gym in the morning and returning at night (late), so I will write my posts and take my pictures, but will not have the time to publish everything. I will catch up as I can. |
