Dufisthenics

I kept today’s lower body work entirely within the confines of Cybex machines, not wanting to push the envelope with it only being my second day back at the gym.

I had a disappointing/embarrassing moment when I stacked 6 plates per side on the leg press machine after getting 8 reps with 5 plates.  As I was trying to gather the energy to push off at the big weight I could feel pain radiating from my upper left hamstring, a spot I have had issues with before.  I didn’t even get the weight off the safety catch before I shut down the set.  I just don’t need a hamstring strain or groin pull right now.
